"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Glad Grace's surgery went well and without punching. Glad Aiden's good, and rest up, Deenafam!

In minor news, I just wanted to take a moment to observe that I am enjoying Monty Python status day on facebook way more than is reasonable.

When I was in high school, I skipped my junior year, leaving my normal class, who loved Saturday Night Live, for my ultimate graduating class, who loved Monty Python. I fit in way better with my graduating class in that aspect, because I loved Monty Python with a pure shining love.

Later in life, I threw a Monty Python party for members of my non-profit, forgetting about some of the, shall we say, more prurient scenes, causing some deeply awkward moments with my conservative religious co-workers. I just remember my buddy in the front row with his shoulders shaking trying not to laugh.

It's nice to log in and see that Grace's surgery went well and Aidan's fine. Also, a noncombative waking up kidlet is a win!

I met a new neighbor (across the alley) and walked the Loki tonight. Weather is just wonderful right now. We're planning a porch party night next thursday, hope it stays like this.

Because books.

Very good news about Aidan and Grace!

The Glee prom episode is making me want pictures of everybody's dress. And hair!

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

My parent's have a friend and the man who has worked on our home for the past 15 years, that I've known since I was 12 when he was my youth group leader for five years. We go to his annual Cape Cod Beach Bash every July. He is a staple of our holiday dinners and summer cookouts and birthday parties.

My mother called me this afternoon to ask if he had ever acted inappropriate with me.

OMFG.

Compassionately intolerant

A good friend of my surrogate mom is doing 17 years for molestation. A HUGE community-wide shock.

I had a bit of an odd feeling when in his home for a holiday party, but my radar didn't give me the usual level of unease.

You just never know.

He's all over my f***ing childhood home.

I totally get how creepy that can feel but, he was picked up, but not yet convicted, right?

If you are okay, don't let that guy/situation win by causing you to suffer now.

thank you. I am okay and am being completely self-centered. I'm not M***, or her parents.

He's in jail, 100,000 bail, confession.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes.

Thrive to spite them

That is just so creepy and horrifying.

And what is it with clergy not going to the police when someone is suspected of child molestation but suggesting counseling. I mean it sounds like the counselor notified authorities about his "problem" but the church was just going to let it slide.
