Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Yay hikes! The Blackhawks will forgive you.

I feel kind of, I don't know, like it's some kind of performance enhancing transgression to combine my first try of Nasalcort with my first run in 5 days. But I do feel pretty good, and probably some of my Too Many Antihistamines from this morning have worn off by now.

Oh man, Diane Rehm makes me crazy. Can't do it.

Poor Forehead, what a good friend you were to someone with a terrible name. ;)

I need to go work out but the last run was not kind to my body so I think I'll just elliptical.

Connie, we'll be in Provo, which I think is near you, right?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

My kids can eat an enormous amount of fruit. Isaac can happily eat 5 clementines, half a mango, and 2 bananas in one day. Swap out the bananas for a pear and there's Franny's portion.

I thought of another one - I always heard NPR's Snigdha Prakash as "Snick Paprikash," and while I knew I was wrong, I could not for the life of me hear it any other way until I Googled and figured out her actual name.

I can't believe you guys can spell the NPR reporters' names. . . much less pronounce them.

Yeah, Diane Rehm is hard to listen to: and it's too bad because her show is good.

I forgot to turn off my alarm and just went ahead and got up at my usual weekday time, but instead of being productive I may just sit on my ass and drink all the coffee. For a few hours, anyway.
