A guy I know - the father of one of Casper's friends at school - is running the Boston Marathon today. And they have an online tracking system, so I can see how he's doing! (Okay, apparently he hasn't started yet, which given the numbers is not too surprising I guess.) He's 52 and way fitter than I ever have been or ever will be, sigh.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Gah, I can't stay awake today. Literally. I just nodded off in the bathroom.
More coffee is being dispatched to proper neurons even as I type.

Yes, it is too much to hope for. They're staging a protest, and bringing their guns.
What are they protesting?

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

The government trying to take over. Obama wanting to take away their guns. Freedom!

Almond plans to have his pistol loaded and openly carried, his rifle unloaded and slung to the rear, a bandoleer of magazines containing ammunition draped over his polo-shirted shoulder. The Atlanta area real estate agent organized the rally because he is upset about health-care reform, climate control, bank bailouts, drug laws and what he sees as President Obama's insistence on and the Democratic Congress's capitulation to a "totalitarian socialism" that tramples individual rights.
A member of several heretofore little-known groups, including Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership and Oath Keepers -- former and active military and law enforcement officials who have vowed to resist laws they deem unconstitutional -- Almond, 31, considers packing heat on the doorstep of the federal government within the mainstream of political speech.

Obama wanting to take away their guns.
Huh. Gun control doesn't even appear to be on the Obama administration's radar. I guess it's a hypothetical protest.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Not on the PUBLIC radar, maybe! You know how secret Muslims want to take away American guns!! It's only a matter of time!
Oy. This is why the rest of the country should have the day off, too -- Patriots Day is a happy holiday! For sleeping and/or running a marathon!
I just met my replacement over the phone. He seems to know what he's doing, so that's good.

My crazy aunt wrote me around 1998 or 1999 and told me that in the year 2000, Bill Clinton was going to take away all our guns, so I should quick buy a gun and hide it.
She got this info from some right-wing Christian group.
