Oh, brenda, that's terrible.

I felt guilty a couple of years ago because we had a band late to their recording session, and I was totally trash talking them...only to find out they'd been in a horrible car wreck that put their lead singer in the hospital for weeks. He's fine now! I didn't charge him!

Wow, those argyle seat jodhpurs. Just wow.

Thanks for the parental well-wishes, everyone.

There are so many bad things and illnesses and crimes going on that I am sending well-wishes to everyone.

And also Happy Birthday to Laura!

Also, I kind of love the pink argyle jodhpurs. And the word jodhpurs. Which I used to think was pronounced "jod-hoppers".

Best wishes for Tommy's parents and for the head of Brenda's organization. Let's hope that storm blows the bad karma out of the Midwest to a permanent spot in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, far from any shipping lanes.

I'm still not entirely clear on how I'm supposed to say it. Not that it comes up that often for me. And it took me about three tries to type it correctly.

Happy Birthday Laura!

Birthday happies, Laura!

It's two syllables Jod - purs.

Or just jods.

So, maybe Benedict resigned because of this internal report on gay clergy in the Vatican and blackmail and other things?? [link]

Happy birthday, Laura!

Thinking about Kat's disturbing sighting yesterday, it occurs to me that perhaps the reason we haven't heard more is simply that the corpse in the hotel water story has displaced all the other freaky crime scene stories in LA.

In all-about-me news, one of DH's colleagues gave him a stovetop espresso maker and it is so delicious! I can't stop making espresso now, and I really should. Two cups is about my limit.
