Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
and I'm trying VERY hard to be the mature person in the conversation.
Someone has to be and you're an awesome mom.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Did you see this chart about the Sandusky scandal at Penn State?
It really underscores the multiple levels of failure to deal with it.
It links everybody who know about what and when. People that complain that Paterno didn't know the details about the rape in the shower are completely missing the fact that many, many people there knew Sandusky was a predatory pedophile who was running a children's charity and had access to Penn facilities even after he was forced to retire.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh, I find all of the child molestation and cover-up stuff so hard to process. A colleague's son was molested when he was about that age. I was by someone in a similar position of power over him. It has been so hard for him to come to terms with it, to even begin to talk about it with his family. I can't read about these boys without thinking of him.
Isaac's school is having a school night dinner at Shakey's Pizza. I loathe Shakey's. I loathe school nights. I am stuck going to dinner anyway. phooey. Meanwhile Franny is angling for a sleepover tonight. Darn those healthy social lives!

I'm good, caught the bus down Broadway, and I'm already at Lakeshore. But I saw the fire trucks leaving with the victim. Bad sign for OO...
