Cat's in the Cradle makes me tear up. Even moreso now that dad is gone.
Yeah, that's a sad one.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Oh, the joys of working in lower Manhattan. Just heard over the building's PA system:
ATTENTION PLEASE. The plane that was circling the building was advertising a movie. There is no need to evacuate the building.

Great pics, Gud. The kids are so focused on their game. Cutie heads.
The small girl on Emaryn's team is a terror on the field.

I can't think of any particular songs that make me cry. Books & movies, yes, but not music. There are a lot of songs that send me to bad places, but that's usually more masochistic than cathartic.
I misread this as “The Pirate Life of Sherlock Holmes”, and I was all excited to go see it.
Oooh, The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes is a nigh-great movie in its own odd way. It doesn't have pirates, exactly, but there are some mysterious sailors.

I have skipped and skimmed to say that my guaranteed cry song is "Puff the Magic Dragon", and it has been since I was a small child.

That song wrecks me Every.Single.Time.
They were talking about the flu this morning on the radio, and basically, they were talking people down from panic mode. If you're relatively healthy and wouldn't have a deathly reaction to the regular flu, you're fine with the swine flu. Oh, and you don't catch swine flu from eating/touching/doing whatever to pork. Hand sanitizer is always a good idea anyway, but if you keep your hands and face washed, you'll cut your exposure to all sorts of colds and flus down to a minimal amount.
To put things in perspective, swine flu is rumored to have killed 100 people in Mexico. Annually in the U.S., 36,000 people die of the regular flu, yet people don't flip out about that number.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Grrrr. Called my health insurer. I called last week to see if they were going to cover the general anesthesia for Owen's oral surgery this Friday. It was referred to the manager. WHO'S ON VACATION. She's supposed to be back tomorrow but I wasn't promised an answer right away. If I don't find out before Friday, I have to pay $3,200 on top of the $1,600 we've already paid. WTF? If someone goes on vacation, shouldn't they have people covering for these kinds of decision?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
So we may be getting a dog. Ack.
Dana, if you do get the dog you should totally name him "Ack."
