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

Weirdly, when I read this:

Dennis Farina, a onetime Chicago cop who as a popular actor played a cop on "Law & Order," has died, his publicist told FOX411.

my thought was "how long are you 'his publicist' once he dies"? Is that a set time you're covered for, do you get paid for a while from his estate?

Anything to not think of people in my parents' generation but younger than them dying.

My old boss apparently (der) purposely included me in a lunch invite today. I thought it was a holdover from before, and never accepted. After I made my incoherent defense of his goatee ("before it was 'grrr' but now it's 'laaaa!') he actually pressed me on it.

So I'll go. In a minute.

OMG y'all I am so whiny about spending this money for a new A/C. I do not wanna at all AT ALL. I need to shift this from bitterness to some sort of action plan to make the money back asap.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

My dogs know very few commands. Daisy knows off, your chair, your bed, and budge up.

Well, I say they don't know them. Bluebell knows them. It's just her response is to go limp and refuse to move like she's a 1960s protester.

Sitting is out of the question. Greyhounds just don't sit, at least not comfortably.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Ugh, it's my day off and am realizing that I failed to get together a list for the ED of people to invite to boss lady's farewell pizza party (that is actually our staff meeting). And knowing him, he didn't put together a list of his own and reach out. "Party" is tomorrow. I feel like a giant heel. Sent out some last minute emails but this whole thing from the beginning has felt super awkward: "come say goodbye, now scram so we can have our staff meeting".

Shit's all sorts of different now.

It's a boy!

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

It's just her response is to go limp and refuse to move like she's a 1960s protester.

Ha! Rose does the same thing. I often tell her she would make Gandhi proud.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I have to admit, what Charlie actually knows is that if I ask him to sit and he does, there will frequently be a treat in it for him.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Chet knows sit, lie down, leave it, shake, back up and seems to know the concept of "stay," although he doesn't care to practice it.
