I'm just asking this casually, Kat, but how...how do I phrase this...how legal is your nephew?

Jesse is 22, but he's also married (seriously! WTF?!)

And how do you feel about being related to me?

Awww...of course.

But so you can understand the squick factor of this convo... Noah is a stand in for how Jesse looked when Jesse was 5.

Also, my sister raised some amazing kids. My twin nieces, Danielle and Desiree, are awesomecakes. Danielle is at the Naval Academy and Desiree is on major scholarship at Northern Arizona University. Liese can testify for the awesomeness of my niece.

But I have to say, except for the added 15ish minutes each way, I liked the walking.

I really miss my walk to and from work. And I haven't gone for after-work walks nearly enough while it was still light. (And of course in the morning I now use up all my time.)

I'm watching from the hall safety of other people's comments, but did Ryan just bring up car crashes as part of his debate rhetoric! To Biden? That seems like a dick move to the 10,000th power.

yes. it was incredibly stupid.

Also, another amazing shot, not of Jesse, but I think of one of the scientists, from the yesterday. [link]

According to Twitter, it sounds like Biden is beating up on Ryan. I hope it helps.

I hope it helps.

I saw someone (retweeted, nobody I know) comment that it won't win converts, but will reassure dem leaners who were discouraged by last week's debate. That feels about right.

Meanwhile, MARRY ME JOE.

I had to turn the debate off. I am apparently too tense still from the baseball game, and I hit an overload point of the talking over each other.

Also, I really hate Paul Ryan, apparently. Smarmy motherfucker.

Meanwhile, the spouse just remarked to one of his crazy conservative fb friends who thought Biden couldn't out-debate a bagel that perhaps Ryan is a muffin.

So never mind the marrying Joe part.

Biden is full 100% bulldog. I cannot believe this. Biden clearly, very clearly, held back against Palin.
