It may have taken almost three months, but I am counting this as a win!
Definitely a win!
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with 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.
Halfway decent person doesn't mean a good leader.
It really doesn't. But in my head I like to think I can simplify things. Sadly, reality fails to conform to this. Or reflect it at all.
Ouch, sara.

I don't know that I would even go that far. I mean I think Obama is a great person outside of politics. But since he is in politics he has to be judged morally by what he does as a political leader as well as in his personal life. And when you think about the continued assasination program, the continued use of torture (solitary confinement) the NSA, the war on whistleblowers. Note by the way that these are all things the executive branch which he controls does. He could change any of them by giving appropriate orders. So I can't judge him a decent person. I mean normally decency (even halfway decency) is not something I expect from a person with great power. But I don't see how our Nobel Peace Prize winner-in-chief can be judged an exception to this.

Which feline is that, Lee? Also, hilarious pic!
Couple knots on my shin, knot on my kneecap, bruising not so bad. Except the one I somehow managed on the inside of my arm. Lesson: even if you really have to pee, you can't race these cats up the stairs. They might try some new maneuver that gets between your feet and your footing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, more than 1900 new followers of Good Stuff yesterday. Eek!
ION, I'm getting bummed that the forecast looks like there won't be any good beach days for me. Hmph.

Because books.
Wow, 1900! That's incredible.

It's crazy. I had been wondering when we would hit 3,000.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I think your cats have been comparing notes with our Coco. His reaction whenever we get home is, "I'm so glad to see you. Here, let me get right up next to you so you trip over me, and feel so guilty that you pet me even MORE!"
Hope you're feeling better.
