I'm glad it was a good day for your mom.

Seems like a perfectly normal conversation to have, taking care of practicalities that you can actually do something about, keep moving (edited to complete the thought I thought I had typed.)

Because books.

I think it was good for my mother to see her so peaceful

That's a really good thing. Also, what sara said.

Is it wrong that I find Duck Dynasty sort of delightful?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would hug you people. But am more pleased than ever that I took a public no-hugging stand at work!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

The Duck Dynasty family seems to be real-life nice, anyway. I have my perverse love for Inkmaster, so I'm not about to judge.

Jeff Bezos bought The Washington Post? Wow.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I am so sorry, Jesse. So much love and light to your family.

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

wow Jesse. That was quick. Warm thoughts to you and your family.

94 is a lot of years to live, especially with such loving family.

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

That's the end everyone wants, right? Peaceful and with your family and after a long life.

Non-invasive virtual hugs.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Jesse, I am so sorry.

Our senior manager called a meeting for tomorrow morning, sent out the invitations after 5. There's a chance that's good, I guess?
