This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Oh Erika.

My father called me at 6:30 Monday morning to tell me that:

A, his phone was broken (yeah, I don't know)
B, he hurt his hand and needed me to tell my sister he needed her to take him to the VA that afternoon
C, he had already sent her a text message to that effect
D, because he couldn't call her because his phone was broken.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

brenda, wow. What can you even say to that?

Conversations with my father can make your head spin sometimes.

And yes, he had texted her so it was all under control.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Logged back into work for the first time since last week. I'm already irritated!

And I think I'm trapped in the apartment for the moment -- husband has the only gate access fob.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Welcome back, Dana!

I understand that some people (and possibly more people will small children) are up at all hours, but that does not at all seem like a safe assumption to make! (I even hesitated to call my parents at ass o'clock, even when I knew we were all leaving for the airport within a half-hour or so.)

6:00 AM is early. Not at our household, where we've been up and going, but for normal people.

I am oddly charmed by GHWB's pink socks in the picture of all the presidents at the GWB library dedication. [link] I didn't realize he was in a wheelchair.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yay, Dana!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Kat,

he has been wearing spectacular socks since he has been in the wheelchair. He has used it for a few years. I think he might be in it all the time now. I believe all of his visits to Obama in the WH have been with a wheelchair.

Because books.

In his interview with Diane Sawyer, Bush the younger referred to his dad as "sprinting to the grave," which didn't come out quite the way he intended, I imagine.

I had no idea W. was in a wheelchair, either.
