It's not true. Or at least extremely unlikely.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Because books.
Kat, I hope you can go soon one way or another. Poor Grace.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh Kat, what a day! I hope Grace gets settled soon. We are heading out of town today, but let me know if I can drop something by for you. We're close after all.
Politics scare me, particularly the seeming disconnect from reality and the blatant lies and distortions. I'll be honest, I fear bloodshed and civil unrest, but my husband discounts it.

According to Five Thirty Eight, Romney has a 1% chance of winning Massachusetts, a 5% chance of winning New Jersey, and a 9% chance of winning Michigan.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

See, reality-based facts can cheer me up.

Kat, I hope you get things worked out soon, and that Grace gets all of the care she needs and none of the care she doesn't.
I am having trouble convincing myself I should go to work, even though it's a short day.

I'm going to have to restart my Five Thirty Eight obsession, aren't I? It's the only way I'm going to make it through the next 9 weeks.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
They are convinced the Mitt/Paul team have blown Florida and won't get the senior vote.
I hope they are right.
My fear is that one of the commentators is correct. The theory is that most people already made up their minds a while ago. The few that didn't will decide based on the hideous ads playing in prime time while they watch their favorite shows. They don't read newspapers or watch news channels. Those people already decided.
That is my theory also. I think the majority of people don't read/watch news except for what bolsters their own already-firm beliefs, and their beliefs are based solely on what Daddy, their preacher, and the ads on TV said. Very few people will change their minds at this point.
Someone please tell me politics in this country will eventually get better.
I wish I could. I don't know if the country is really becoming more and more divided and less and less tolerant, or if the huge gulf between competing ideologies that always existed has become more visible, probably as a consequence of having a black president.
Chris Christie could bring in NJ for him.
Not living in NJ for a while, but I don't see Christie being popular enough to change people's minds all by himself.
Sullivan says that the Republicans just need to be out of power long enough and they'll be forced to be sane in order to win elections again. Hopefully that will happen.
Or, they could win this election by being not-sane.
