Oh Nora, those are WONDERFUL! Yay, Tom!
And I'm so glad you went all crazy taking pictures because this one?
Just made me tear up like a baby.
And was that REALLY Tom's first Twinkie? And if so, what did he think?
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Go you, Tom! Being a citizen and all!
(my new tactic with that is just to stop talking when they are fiddling with their phones.)
I do this in Life. It's surprisingly effective. I assume because they are abashed. Alternately they are parents and honestly need to pay attention to the call or text. In one, I am using Good Manners as a teaching tool. In the other, just actually using good manners.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I love the pics, Nora. And your neighbors are brilliant with the American Stuff gift basket.

If we can't look at her certificate, how can we be sure she's an American????
Will no one think of ... whoever?

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
I'll need to see Sumi's Mom's long-form certificate.

Grink and Gronks, this can't be morning, a'ready. Sleep came late last night. I expect falling asleep while reading articles today.
Lovely pictures, Nora, and congrats Tom!
(What's a Twinkie?)
{{askye}}. That's so rough.

Oh, and the Prince Harry photo?
I didn't know they make them so cute in the U.S.. I'll might have to come and investigate further said cuteness.
