Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

ita, I just saw your wounds. ACK! Poor you.

I'd say join me in applying scotch, but that'd probably sting. So something unstingy.

How is it that I get through a week of hell, and only now my back starts crawling? Annoying.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sophia, I would bring in a bunch of photos--like of Jon Hamm in Mad Men, Captain Jack in Pirates, Cate Blanchett in LoTR, etc, and have the group describe what they can tell about that character from the way they are dressed. You might want to have a board to write down the adjectives. Once you get a list, you can go back and talk about what specific things in the costumes create those impressions.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Aluminum baseball.

Yeah, but the reverb's hell. Thirty-six oz. Louisville Slugger has a nice heft to it.

I dunno; as a spectator, there is nothing sweeter than the crack of a wooden bat, but as a batter (admittedly raised playing softball, where we weren't allowed to use wooden bats), that sweet sweet PING! when you nail it just right and send it deep into left field is one of the best sounds I have ever heard.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

For the record, most kids at the upper levels of Little League use composite fiber bats which neither Crack nor Ping.

It's more of an (authoritative sounding): Paaak!

(This may have something to do with Korea's rise as an international baseball superpower.)

Yeah, I played sandlot baseball with wood bats; aluminum bats just always felt and sounded odd to me.

Huh. Learn something new every day.

ION he ran out of therapy with tear filled eyes and hid behind me - he's not quite ready to talk about the angry episodes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

it's a first step. he has to grieve his loss and he has to find tools to deal with the anger until he does. Although, we have now gone 2 weeks with no violence, so that is good.

IOON - he starts karate tomorrow. WOOT!
