Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Man. I've just been reading for five minutes and I already feel so grounded.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

OK, I haven't done the WORK I was supposed to do today (um, expense reports? Printing and faxing things? Stuff I can't do once I'm on vacation because I won't have a fax machine or printer, whaaaa?) But I DID, thanks to you guys, just call up my old job's 401K plan (who I had never interacted with at all, before, at ALL, seriously) and asked for them to mail me the rollover stuff, so I can put all the money in the new job's thingie. Go me!

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

Xmas office gifts are a good thing.

So Cody and Isaac just swung by home on the way to the doctor's office. Isaac was crashed out asleep, with a gift from his preschool (a book) in his lap. Such a sweetheart when he's asleep.

Last night he had a horrible coughing jag, scared us a bit, hence the doctor's visit today. I need to find out if there's any chance it's allergies or asthma.

facepalm

I mean, it's kind of a cute idea. But it ... loses something in the execution.

Adorable 3 year old conversation:
Dillo: I want to blast into space and see the big planets like Saturn.
me: Well, when you are a grownup you can be an astronaut and go into space.
Dillo: I want to go now! With you guys!
me: Well, unfortunately we are not astronauts.
Dillo: But we could dress up as them!

So, Allyson, can you hook a kid up?

Surely can. What size space suit?

I guess we need three - one 3T, one for a 5'11" woman. and one for a 6'6" man. We also need directions to Cape Canaveral.

Huh. When I was three, I wanted to be an astronaut. Or a bus driver.
