Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Yes! This is the Pablo you met (improbably blonde Pablo).

I like how you stipulate that it was a (presumably human) baby.

It's a bad habit. A NICU nurse once told us the secret that maternity nurses will not call an ugly baby cute just to placate the mother. What they will say instead is, "What a sweet baby."

K and I have shortened that to "Wow! It's a baby!" I think I was unintentionally riffing on that.

I think I skimmed the swing question. I'll have to go back and look.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I am now concerned that the maternity nurses were secretly tasting my baby.

Whew! Swinging question clearly not for me! In fact, not in my wheelhouse even a little.

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

Baby toes are notoriously tasty.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Also, I am going to buy that foam roller you recommended because my fat ass actually smooshed my Target-bought foam roller into more of an oval and less of a circle.

I've been meaning to note, Tep, that Emmett used some of his hard-earned money to buy his own foam roller. He LOVES it to work out his sore muscle after doing cross-fit. We bought it from a medical supply place so presumably it will last.

Also, my birthday is July 26. This year we are celebrating on August 11.

K is driving up to Palo Alto tomorrow to buy lots of Fred Steak. And I'm figuring out how to do chocolate mice and caramel corn and other night circus treats.

I stand ready to defend my baby's appendages from the ravenous appetites of the maternity nurses.

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

Dude, I forgot all about Fred Steak. When is she going to be there?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I have had smores around a bonfire, but not a campfire. But I imagine bonfires are a fairly rural experience.

I think Louisiana is a girl.

My grandma insisted my friend Brett who I met in first grade must be a girl because of his name, so I think the Brett is a boy name is recent. He is now a man.

My complaint of the day is about bras. Why would you line a cotton bra with synthetic? I bought some "all cotton" bras from Lane Bryant thinking they would help my poor itchy skin, and only the outside is cotton!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

When I can't remember if someone's had a boy or a girl, I generally fall back on "your little one."

I used to get a rash from the inside of jeans metal buttons, but not since I was a teenager.

I'm digitizing some old footage of California shopping malls for an 80s documentary, and the hair is cracking me up. Literally EVERYONE under the age of 45 has long crimped hair, frizzy bangs, and a high ponytail.
