"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Guh. This bomb was designed to maim.
Roupen Bastajian, a 35-year-old state trooper from Smithfield, R.I., had just finished the race when they put the heat blanket wrap on him and he heard the blasts.
"I started running toward the blast. And there were people all over the floor," he said. "We started grabbing tourniquets and started tying legs. A lot of people amputated. ... At least 25 to 30 people have at least one leg missing, or an ankle missing, or two legs missing."

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ah, it's so awful!
So my kids are home and they know nothing of what happened in Boston, and I'm not planning on turning on the tv to any of it. One of those hard parenting decisions given their ages, tell them what happened or not? The part of the decision that isn't hard, however, is deciding they don't need to see any of it.

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

No, they don't. The people that revel in the torture porn-ishness of all this are just creepy.

yep, same here. It would send E to a bad place to even mention it. I am so thankful that we have two living space for just this reason. I can tear up and get myself back together in this room and he can watch Avenger cartoons in the other. Happily oblivious.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, jeez. My dad forgot the doctor's instructions for the sore on Mom's foot and now it's a full-blown bed sore and I'm taking the morning off to take her to a specialty clinic thirty miles away.
How on earth am I going to start a new job when every single week I have to go run them somewhere?

At this point, I think E has the right idea. We have tiny cupcakes (tasting for the wedding) and might watch something mindless.

I am about to turn on The Voice. My first attempt at distraction was to EAT ALL THE CHEESE.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What the everloving fuck -- I'm not getting The Voice, due to continuing coverage.
