My brother just offered to burn down my new deck for me. Wonder how his deck faired this 4th....

I'm totally going to chow down on food (healthy, obviously) for the next few weeks and see what happens.

sara, is your brother still in Alabama?

Yup, he got a sweet postdoc there, so no moving and still cheap cost of living.

He's got a column in a newspaper (Kansas City Star, according to his Bio). Not the internet's fault, this time.

Sorry about that, being that Kansas City is where I live.

Also sorry about the whole Fred Phelps thing, being that Topeka is where I grew up.

This ain't the most progressive part of the country.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Kat, I need to re-get you that insurance info I promised you--the computer I had it on crashed again. Let me get on that.

In don't read the comment news, there are a couple of real assholes commenting on Roger Federer's Wimbledon page. If you're a stalwart fan of his opponent, why not go big up his opponent on his page instead of pissing on Roger's? People, I swear. I hope all the people that tweeted at Andy were nice to him.

OOhkay, less than 10 days before the trip, dad is diag with shallow vein thrombosis or somesuch. 2 clots detected and he's to go on bloodthinners. Still has the ok to travel. His bp is up which is freaky because usually the alarming thing at his physicals is they can't get a pulse b/c his bp and pulse are so low. And he had one not long ago. WTF.

okey dokey.

What's frustrating is that I do this every year for Grace and I can't remember if I'm supposed to answer about Grace's assets or mine? So frustrating.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Whyfor the passports, Kat?

My day was spent mostly seeing the doctor. She was nice, nothing is wrong, but she decided to just go ahead and take care of every test that had come due, which meant, among other things, an unplanned mammogram. A bit time consuming.

Tell me I shouldn't be overly concerned that the technician felt the need to redo all the images on the left side. Right? Because it weirded me out and has left me wondering what she saw.
