I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Cool cool cool.

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

YAY

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Well, for a start, I put in "literally" and some gender unspecific pronouns.

That made me literally burst with happiness.

Now I have some cleaning to do.

Typing after bursting is pretty impressive.

Well, I'm a professional. Not everybody could do it.

So in the locker room tonight, there was a couple women talking basketball, I think one had been the younger's teacher or something. They clearly knew each other, but hadn't talked in a while. Anyway, turns out the younger is a Crystal who plays for the Washington Mystics. After googling, it has to be her: [link]

Anyway, it was a fascinating conversation to overhear. She seemed really amazed at the things she's been able to experience.

Oooh,my country. Watching Freedom Riders. It's infuriating.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The whole thing is so crazy and awful. I remembered my mother is out of town (in Nashville!), so I called my father to make sure he was OK. I said, Well, you know how the story ends -- we have a black president now!

(Obviously, he knows what all happened back then -- they were in VISTA in the south a few years later, and one of their friends lived in the black town outside Anniston, where the bus got burned out in 61.)

Your parents were a part of it?

And the story hasn't ended, really. All I have to do is read the comments on the local rag. Uhg.
