Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

Lots of ~ma to ita and mom.

My favorite signing story happened when I was working for Blockbuster. A little boy was signing to his mom, and I happened to catch his eye and I signed the letters "H-I". His eyes lit up and he started tugging on his mom, said something to her, and she looked over at me. I said and signed "Hi" again, and she asked me if I knew sign. When I answered I only know the alphabet, she relayed my answer to him. He asked her a question, and she then asked me if I knew my name in sign. I took my time, but finally got my name correct. He was just beaming from ear to ear. After a bit, I was working the register when he and his mom passed by me heading out the door. I didn't see him, but all of the sudden, his arms were flung around my hips and he gave me the biggest hug I think I've ever had.

So sweet, and my favorite memory about working there!

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

Again with all the wise words.

I know there probably isn't much I can do to help you through the next bit, ita, but if there is anything, please let me know.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I defer to trusting the knocked-up athlete to know her limits.

It's her eighth marathon and second baby, so I figure she knew what to expect.

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

Well, it's today morning, and I'm at the airport, and about to settle down with some steamed milk and some painkillers. why are they so parsimonious with the power outlets?

Thanks guys, for all your support. One way or another my mother is receiving a shitload of it. Apparently the archbishop is pulling for her. Cool.

Okay, off to pretend I didn't wake up ass early o'clock.
