Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hey! I come in here all cranky, for a break from my annoying work, and what do I find but not-for-me shoes! Grump.

Hmm... I can sleep anywhere light or not. In fact, I just took a two hour nap and I opened the blinds a little so it wouldn't be so batcavey-gloomy. Noah will NOT sleep anywhere (different problem) but he will nap in full daylight, thank god.
Dubai is creepy.

Punishingly Intricate
Those green booties Perkins linked to are WRONG. I like the Michael Cors shoes though.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
OK, here's where I want to live: [link] (has animation)
I hope Daniel Burnham haunts the developers for putting a non-public building on that side of the park.
(edit) Okay, so it's just west of Lake Shore Drive. It technically abides by the original city plans, but I still think it should be another couple of blocks west. This building and the new one at the south end of Grant Park are really screwing with the skyline.
I've been in many a supposedly haunted theatre. The only time I ever got creeped out was in a tiny room off the upper balcony of the Bonstelle theatre in Detroit. There was a sudden chill and an even more sudden desire to no longer be in that room. I came back later and didn't notice anything odd. That one moment was seriously creepy though.

Would you all consider it inappropriate to knowingly give your child a placebo in most circumstances? [link]
Ms. Buettner envisioned a children’s placebo tablet that would empower parents to do something tangible for minor ills and reduce the unnecessary use of antibiotics and other medicines.
With the help of her husband, Dennis, she founded a placebo company, and, without a hint of irony, named it Efficacy Brands. Its chewable, cherry-flavored dextrose tablets, Obecalp, for placebo spelled backward, goes on sale on June 1 at the Efficacy Brands Web site. Bottles of 50 tablets will sell for $5.95. The Buettners have plans for a liquid version, too.
“This is designed to have the texture and taste of actual medicine so it will trick kids into thinking that they’re taking something,” Ms. Buettner said. “Then their brain takes over, and they say, ‘Oh, I feel better.’ ”
“The idea that we can use a placebo as a general treatment method,” Dr. Brody said, “strikes me as inappropriate.”
Ms. Buettner does not spell out the conditions that her pills could treat. As a parent, she said, “you’ll know when Obecalp is necessary.”
