Damn browser crash ate my post.
There's an article linked to from Jez to Deadspin about athletes and the women who'll do anything to sleep with them (real breaking news), and the post is full of first-time Deadspin posters saying "Oh, I'm kicking NBA players to the curb ALL DAY, you know how it is!"
And all I can think is "JOANNA GRABIEN¹ WOULD SCHOOL ALLA Y'ALLS ASSES". In fact, so would her mother.
¹: I know this is not actually her last name. Go with the flow?
My friend's flight now gets in at 1:15. I'm marketing at 8:30. BWI baggage claim is a slowass clusterfuck. Wish me....something.

I worked at WGBH in Boston when I first moved there in the early 80s, and I got to read their station history.
There was a great story about Mr. Rogers making a visit to the studio in Boston (his show was shot in Pittsburgh) in the mid seventies, and they were COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY by the response. It was like little kid Beatlemania when he came out to meet his Boston fans.
There was a whole episode of the tv show Maude about how her husband liked to watch Mr. Rogers because he was so calming and decent.
Also
my college roommate (Chip) grew up in Pittsburgh and went to school with Fred Rogers' son and got to meet him several times and said, "Yup, that's what he was like." Later after college Chip was running an educational foundation and did a lot of events with Mr. Rogers and affirmed that he was just one of the most genuinely nice people he'd ever met.
Gonna put on foundation garments and go make an airport run. Wheee!
That's a charming story, Suela.
Night two of downtown being taken over by the biker rally.
Would seven people having their hearts cut out really be such a price to pay for sweet, sweet silence?
Oo, it's the JPL open house this weekend, isn't it? I want to take the kids again.
