Oh Jesus. George Tiller, one of the few late-term abortion providers left in this country, shot and killed on his way into church this morning. I'm just sick.
Maybe I've always been here.

Yeah, I saw that -- horrible.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh, no! That's awful.
That's in Wichita! I know where that church is. I mean, I know where the clinic is for that matter.
Just terrible.

That is terrible. I've made a donation in Tiller's honor to Medical Students for Choice.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why did I read that???? I'm only in the middle (beginning middle) of watching the coverage. I need more restraint.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, god, that's awful about Dr. Tiller. In a previous job, I knew June Barrett, whose husband was killed along with the doctor they were escorting in Pensacola years ago. Those were scary times. And she was a fabulous woman.

My first NYC apartment was on the first floor in the front, and I will never forget the best drunken late-night conversation ever: One guy yelling, "I LOVE YOU, BOB!" I couldn't hear what Bob was saying back, but the other guy just kept yelling, "BUT I LOVE YOU, BOB!!"
