Did you know that there are people in the world who, when faced with a small piece of paper with the words, "Lost Dog/Please Help" will become outraged and call the police? And that the police, rather than telling the citizen to get some perspective, and, perhaps, a life, will make three phone calls and send a squad car out to tell the not-even-five-feet tall woman politely handing them out to stop harassing people?

Humans are sometimes ridiculous.

Oh, and the WP picked up our story, again: [link]

Now tagless for your comfort.

My grandfathers were Newton and Robert. Considered naming Owen Newton but it didn't work out. I just loved calling him "Grandpa Newt."

A friend of mine went into for a laparaoscopic surgery for uterine problems and ended up getting a hysterectomy vaginally. She was 38 and the recovery time was a lot faster, I think.

Up too early but since the kids are still asleep I'm off in search of Terriers to catch up on the phenomenon. Better late than never (considering I watched all of Scrubs a decade after it came out).

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Allyson, I think it looks good.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's great, Allyson.

OK, I am Not going to the beach, even though it looks bright out there, the forecast says clouds, and I guess I'd better do all the other stuff instead. I can pretend I would do All The Things, but it's not true.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

BTW, I found that photo of my grandpa, great-uncle Phil, and Aunt Dorothy I mentioned earlier.

I love that photo! So cool.

WTF is wrong with people??

It is (finally) a lovely cool rainy day here in Nashville. Right now it's only 61 degrees outside! I'm so happy I could go put on a sweater. M and I are celebrating our one-year anniversary today by going out for brunch in a little bit, then selling some CDs at our favorite record store (and probably picking up a few more), and then, er, finishing up our thank-you cards for our wedding gifts. Hey, they're not technically overdue until tomorrow!

It's 58 in Oxford, OH! I am going to have to buy Dillo a coat this winter!

My great-grandfathers were William Kyle (Bill), Ormon Earle, Marcus Wilson, and Theodore Protas (commonly known as "Boy.") I only ever met the first, who was a gentleman.

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

Timelies all!

Sparky, I saw the article in the Style section this morning.

One of the national morning programs just called to ask for an interview. If the do it live tomorrow and I work in a reference to the Terriers DVDs can I have a toaster? I hate mine, but it won't die.

That would be so brilliant. "Really, I'm here for two reasons, Hoda...."
