Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

The best racing magazine, by far IMO, is Racer. It's not just Nascar but it's the best coverage.

If he's a Jimmie Johnson fan, there's three-peat merch since it was a really historic season.

Is he near a track? A ticket for a race is good.

God, I am predictable in The Things I Know About.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I never made that recipe personally, Sue, but I remember the comments being very mixed. I like Alton Brown or Cook's Illustrated's mac&cheese when I make it at home. (Or the fancied up Cooking Light version with provolone and roasted veggies, but that one's kind of its own thing.)

ION, my baby is now old enough to eat cereal with a spoon. Sigh!

I think we need to start adding lard to it or something, though - noodle is in the 8th percentile for weight as per our last doctor's appointment. I'm telling him to enjoy it while it lasts, as it is obviously some kind of cosmic oversight and his parents' genes should be kicking in any day now.

Much ~ma, ita. I hate that you are in pain.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Is that boy from Brooklyn, or what?

hip deep in pie

Ginger, thanks! He's not near a track, so tickets aren't an option. I don't know who his favourite driver is, I will have to ask my nephew.

Jessica, I think I have the Cook's Illustrated recipe around here somewhere. Thanks for the info.

You got a problem with that?

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

I am watching last night's Leverage. I fully agree with ita about CK's hair, but I really don't understand what accent Timothy Hutton is supposed to be using when he was talking to the Congressman.

It really really was.

Because books.

What Cass said. That was a head-scratcher, for sure.

Jess, those eyes! My god, your kid is cute.

ita, all kinds of super-strength ~ma for tomorrow.
