Well fuck. My sister just called from the ER - my dad fell in his driveway which the city has all torn up for roadwork and seems to have fucked up his knee and possibly broken his shoulder.
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Oh, crap, Brenda. Vibeage to your dad.

That's awesome, amych! I love it when there's someone who totally busts our image of the "typical" athlete. Sports is somewhere where agism is accepted as a matter of course and I love to see athletes thumb their noses at those expectations.

Oh, no, Brenda. Much health-ma to your dad.

The kind of funny part - my sister was supposed to go the ballgame today with this guy she just started seeing. He had to cancel right before to take his mother to the hospital. They got together later on and had just sat down to dinner when she gets the call from my dad.

Aww. Poor dad, brenda! But that part about your sister and her date is kinda funny, in a maybe they should rethink their whole relationship before they have no parents left kind of way.

Good health vibes to your dad, Brenda.
WHy are they interviewing George Bush?!?!
The longer he's focused on the Olympics and thus unaware of his chance to play John Wayne opposite Russia, the better. Can we stretch the Games out until January? And maybe assign Brandi Chastain to rip off her shirt anytime it looks like an adviser is bringing him an update?
The medal ceremony for the Men's Swimming Relay was the first time in about 7 years that my heart was really into standing for the Star Spangled Banner. It's a nice feeling to have back.

Lots of ~ma to your dad, brenda.
Last week, when I was at the beach with my parents, someone that my mom was talking to asked me what grade I was in.
Every time I answer the Goddamn phone and it's someone who doesn't know me, I get the "can I speak with mommy or daddy?". IT'S KILLING ME.
When I was 10 or 11 and went with my dad to the car, I remember someone asking me about my husband, meaning my dad. That was way weird.

I get that too. Extremely irritating.
