AND....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM!
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Tom! Birthday!
Second of all, San Francisco does not have a crippling inferiority complex about NY. It defers to New York until Bon makes ridiculous claims about Manhattan being gayer than San Francisco. (So Not!)
I may have been wrong about that. You have better burritos, too.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
I have had The Discussion with my mother.
At the time, I was living in California, so her request that I act as POA was unworkable. That duty fell to my uncle.
MY job is, in the event of her falling into a vegetative state or whatever, to be the one to say "Pull the plug".
There are days, I must admit, where knowing that keeps me warm inside.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TOM!
Jessica, having someone else earwormed does help. I was hoping the Pacific wouldn't make that impossible.
Tommy--I agree with you. I consider experimental probability a record, not a predictor. If we were talking coin flips I could potentially see the next coin flip as a corrector, but free throws aren't random. They just are.
But the TV show I was watching last night used free throws in an example much like the one I used above. So I'm wondering what's wrong in my interpretation/retelling of the whole thing. I'm assuming that (unlike the Smithsonian) that the Discovery Channel isn't wrong.

No, no, I'm afraid when Boston got over that you inherited the mantle of #1 red-headed step child (it's amazing what winning a few sports championships will do for a city).

Also, Happy Scola Day!

So it appears yesterday did not kill me.
But for reasons completely unrelated to work (well, there may have been a doughnut) today may.

I was told that my parents being in Jamaica should serve no obstacle to them being my PoA. I mean, whoever's going to be mine will live in at least a different country, never mind state.

Well, I admit to having bullshitted her a bit. I *could* have been her PoA, sure, but I didn't want to be and I also honestly felt that that duty would be better handled by someone who lived closer to her. Like my uncle.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Babe, just occured to me: think of our conversation in the car this morning.
Now think of this: We each are the designated plug pullers for our mothers.
