Dana, so sorry. I'm glad he planned to go to the funeral anyway.
Someone needs to make one of those sarcastic Willy Wonka things about moving to Canada because of Obamacare.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I just got off the phone after a nice conversation with my father. He complimented me on my current FB profile picture. He thought it was current - it is actually from when I was 16. Other than the double permed hair, I'd love to look like that again. I don't think I'm anywhere close.
Dana, that really sucks. I'm so sorry.
So the Texas Republican Party, always on the cutting edge of wingnuttery, has come out in opposition to teaching critical thinking to children.
From their platform:
We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the student’s fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority.
I'm kinda' glad I don't live in Texas. (Sorry, msbelle.)

Yay! Maybe I should go this time....

Sadly, I won't be able to get into that panel since the Ballroom 20 line is insane, and I'm doing an Entertainment Weekly Discussion Group that morning. But I'm hoping that it's very cool and that there are celebrities hanging around the EW Photo Studio.
