the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I'm completely biased, but I think my dad falls in the silver fox category: [link] (please ignore how it seems like I'm throwing a gang sign).

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I was just thinking this morning that one of the main reasons I'm not dyeing my hair, even though it's about 25% white, is that I'm hoping/praying/offering-sacrifices-to-the-gods that my hair will turn that gleaming white in about ten years. It's just waiting out those in-between years for the white to take over.

I'm hedging my bets that my hair will go silver/white like my dad's. My stylist told me, the last time I was in, that she doesn't see ANY grey/white/silver in my hair yet, which seems odd.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I concur with the people that concur with Steph and Sparky, Tom. Take a weekend off and take care of yourself.

I wouldn't call that a big gap in terms of cultural trends.

I'd thought the song was later, but I'd also never closely associated MILF with American Pie, and thought the term predated the movie. Not really going to do much research from work, though.

Take a weekend off and take care of yourself.

Unfortunately, spending the weekend alone isn't going to help either.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Joining in with the chorus, Tom. Take care of yourself - do something nice for yourself.

And ... isn't therapy the place for a meltdown? You have someone there whose purpose is to help you through meltdowns and the other bad times.

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

It doesn't have to be alone. It just has to be about you and healing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm just going to say, Tom, don't make any decisions right now. Your thing tonight is a party, right? So you can just go or not go when the time comes. You don't have to decide right now that your weekend is a disaster. Even if your afternoon today kind of is.

Because books.

I wish I had a car and, oh, $200 for gas, because I would totally drive down and spend the weekend with you, Tom. We could compare favorite NY places!
