It's just I'm going to miss him.
I'm sorry, Burrell. You guys have had a lot of parent care issues. It's tough.
Everybody plays each other. That's all anybody ever does. We play parts.

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

Ugh. I feel terrible for Cody that it's his mother now who is sick. It's not fair. She was so young when I first met her! And yeah, things are going to get harder too.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I never really had to deal with those issues. My mom died when she was 50 (my next birthday), and my Dad had his second wife with him to take care of him. JZ's parents are relatively young and healthy and will almost certainly be around long enough to see Matilda graduate from college. (Knock wood.)

In a separate post, I'll note: Mets fans! Luis Castillo and Oliver Perez both released within days of each other. You gotta cut away the dead wood before you grow something healthy. But at least you've got a good GM in Sandy Alderson to make some ballsy but smart decisions. So, take heart Tom and Amy. He'll have your ship righted in three years.

Lots of ~ma, Burrell, for Cody's mother and your family.
Speaking of which, the American teacher who has now been confirmed dead in Japan is the granddaughter of a friend of my mother's. So a little ~ma in the direction of VA wouldn't hurt. [link]
I have a meeting with a professor this morning which I dread, because she is impossible.

Luis Castillo and Oliver Perez both released within days of each other.
And Castillo was immediately picked up by the Phillies. That could be a disaster in the making for us.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh dear.
HOWTO raise a Eugenic Baby (old ad)
This Physical Culture ad for The Correspondence School of Gospel and Scientific Eugenics (whose principal had the comedy name of "M.E. Teats," no less!) manages to capture everything abhorrent about both faith and science, and is a kind of perfect parcel of awfulness, from the mad, stary schoolmarm and pinch-faced schoolmaster on the letterhead to the great! abundance! of exclamation!! marks!!!, to the testimonials from proud parents of "Eugenic Babies."
