I don't know if I posted this in here, but I'm all weepy about it:
Awww. Did you know that the first game the Mets played after he died, every batter used Beastie Boys songs as their walkup music?
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Glad Mac's home, msbelle. And may it be not too onerous to sort out treatment for the summer.
I miss ita, too. I'm dying to hear her take on the Avengers, plus I just miss her on-point snark, and knowing she's around. Please tell her we wish her better.
Yay, Tom!
And may things go as well as possible for Suela's mom.

Hey, the Royals are not only not the worst team in MLB, they are not even the worst team in the AL or even in their division , and they are almost as good as the Red Sox. This year is going better than I could have hoped for.

If ever there was a year this was damning with faint praise...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG. I just got a mass work email that nearly gave me a heart attack, because even though it was about legitimate important stuff, it totally didn't take into account MY STUFF. So I tried to send a not-too-testy email in response, and heard back really quickly that, in fact, they do have a plan that takes into account my stuff, and everything should be fine.
Now I need to get my heart rate back down.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I was considering joining a softball team in the theatre league this summer and then I realized that my brother is now living with a softball Olympian. I can't decide if that's a pro or a con.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Wow.
Six Living Generations of Daughters, From 7 Weeks to 111 Years
ABC News has reported on a family in Charlottesville, Virginia that boasts an amazing six living generations of daughters. The eldest is 111-year-old Mollie Wood (b. 1901) and the youngest is 7-week-old Braylin Higgins (b. 2012). Photographer and neighbor Christian DeBaun saw the opportunity to capture some amazing portraits of the family.
So the baby's great-great-great grandmother is still alive....

Six generations is bananas. Although my family could do it if my grandmother lived to 111! That grandmother already has an 18 year old great-granddaughter, and she's only like 85.
