Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm so sorry msbelle. My heart goes out to your whole family. Death is just so hard. Your response to mac's anger is just so on target and loving and beautiful.

Hearing the Bowie/Crosby version of LDB is always winning in my book. It's still losing the LDB game.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Good wishes, msbelle and family. We went through that extended not-quite-comatose-but-not-quite-responsive stagewith my mother-in-law. It's truly surreal for the family.

These are my feelings as well.
Sending you guys love, msbelle. I hope there are some moments of peace and lightness during this process for your family.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Next year I'm instituting a Fairytale of New York game. You win that one by hearing it the most without intentionally putting it on.
In the spirit of Christmas you can put it on to up other people's scores.

I'm so sorry, msbelle. I wish there were easier ways to say goodbye to people we love.

I submitted final grades for the semester. So far, two emails from students who want to negotiate their grades. I'm figuring I'll probably get two or three more by the end of the day.
