I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

It would have those too. That's what I mean when I say we should have a daycare. I'm just saying it wouldn't be skimpy on the toys and entertainment.

Because books.

I had Jake into work a handful of times when he was a preschooler, and it was always pretty funny -- one of the art department guys had a huge collection of fandom-type collectibles and he loved when Jake came to play with them.

I had an office, though, so it wasn't a really big deal. I can't remember if Ben ever came with me.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

A lot of us have toys at our desks. I have office monkeys, 2 foam darts a The Maxx action figure, a Dante action figure and some Lego Rockband figures.

The guy who sits in front of me has all kinds of stuff. Kids gravitate to his desk.

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

My mother had my best friend and me in for "shadow your parent at work day." She scared the beejesus out of us by paralyzing a rat and then...OMG, we were, like, 8. I was already scared of her, but that's when I decided she might kill me if I failed to live up to her expectations. A fear that persisted long enough, at least subconsciously, that I needed someone to tell me I didn't have to do a Master's, and then they had to hold my hand while I made that phone call home.

She's the good cop.

I would wear the hell out of this swimsuit. And I'm not even really a Star Wars fan.

It is cute!

Also cute, there's a brand new baby boy Brees! Still waiting on his name.

Always Anti-fascist!

Que viva, Univision! I came to work off and on with my mom...Mom has a pretty solid Look of Death so I don't recall much screwing around in public.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I went to the store today and got up to the counter and realized I forgot my debit card. They rang it up and had me write my phone number on the receipt and sent me on my way. Nice to be known.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I wish there was a filter for "Facebooking under the influence". A baseball friend of mine just went nuts on Kelly's page. And knowing her, I won't be surprised if she were, ummmmm, enhanced.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Fuck yeah! Giants are closing in.

It's all over the city too. I went out to the grocery and the bar is spilling over with people, and I can hear it on the radio for the guys installing windows.
