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

! Is she more than named after him?

Yeah, if she did the math and figured out when my Uncle was at sea she'd know. Two funny (by which I mean, "rather ironic") things: (1) she was my uncle's favorite; (2) she's really into geneology.

Everybody in the family knows except her.

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

Oh Liese, I'm so sorry.

Any chance you could get your Mom to go for someone else? For Sheldon's sake maybe? If he really needs her and all...

I'm sorry, Liese.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Thanks guys. I feel better about it this morning. I think it's unrealistic that any of us would go, but I think I can be okay with that. I'll try to get the cousins to get me in touch with Sheldon, because I definitely can relate to his struggle.

It's stormy! So we're skipping church this morning. I proposed we all go back to bed after breakfast, but no one seems to be doing that. Except me! Well, okay, I'm in the bedroom hanging out online, but still, lazy Father's day, yay!

I do wish I'd taken a bath yesterday afternoon when I was thinking about it, though.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Oh, Liese! What a mess of lousy choices!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, Liese, that's all so hard. I now feel bad about not going to a great-aunt's funeral when I was a callow youth, mostly for my grandmother. (Edit: I don't mean now as in just now, but now as an older person.)

Cold, rainy storm. We're probably getting new snow in the mountains. I am loving this weather, truly.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

My deepest sympathies, Liese.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Happy Birthday Plei!

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

Birthday Happies, Plie!!
