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

Oh good. Not just me then. They both grew up in a kinda awesome but unexpected way.

wow, sarameg, that sounds like an awesome meal. (Although I would have gone for the scallops myself.)

Now tagless for your comfort.
I love scallops. But the whole meal sounds delish.

I edited to be more readable...
Even before I started feeling weird, I didn't much care for scallops, and I've tried them a few times. Most seafood is just not my thing.
OK, have directions down pat, and actually know the roadways, so I can get us out of anything.
And I've still got 2 hours.
Going to go see if that one place is open yet. Or maybe take in the sunrise... though that might not be soon enough.

Happy birthday, Mac! May 11 be a calmer year for you, kiddo.
Cash, I want to borrow Owen the next time I have to explains the basics of clear writing to co-workers. Which may be sooner rather than later.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
so, Beau and I both lost our birth certificates (and my passport and our car titles) in what must be a major fuck up. I don't know when we lost our documents, but gone they are.
I had to get a passport ASAP so I had to go online and order a birth certificate from LA county. I paid an expediting fee, filled out the details, and then I had to go to my credit union to get a document notarized. I scanned that doc in and faxed it to the service. My birth certificate arrived in about 1 week.
Beau was born in NYC. So he went through (roughly) the same service to apply, but in NYC, they ask for key details like when you get an online credit report (which of these streets have you never lived on; which of these cities have you never lived). After answering these questions successfully, he paid the fee and he'll get the document.
I think these cities have interesting variations in how they will provide birth certificates. One needs a notary and the other, just answer security questions!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
8 core beliefs of extraordinary bosses
le n, that's interesting - definitely full of slightly gaggy fuzzy management jargon, but even so I could look at the non-extraordinary bosses parts and go, "Yep, old manager did this, said that, acted thus, yep, yep, yep, that's all her." *So* glad to be out of there.
eta: And, ugh, what a horrible PITA. I'm glad you were able to get it all back. And the security questions sound kind of interesting... now I sort of want to claim to have lost my own birth cert just so I can hear my own security questions.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Belated Happy Birthday, mac!
