I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

Because books.

Yes and no. It's useful to remember how ginormous this country is and how unequal the distribution of medical care.

Especially in that part of the country. There's just less of everything there. When we were in WY, I had Ben in a 40-bed hospital. Total, 40 beds. And when I was in premature labor, the OB told me if we couldn't stop it, I'd have to be air-lifted to Salt Lake City, because that was the closest NICU.

Growing up twenty minutes outside of NYC, that was a big surprise.

Buffista Island, Highlands/Downton Abbey edition? [link]

About 98% of those deer heads have to go.

I love that the real estate listing has a "Commuter Time Estimate" you can use.

It is amazing when thought of that way, isn't it. As many of you may remember, when I first moved to LA that this was not my city of choice. It still isn't. K and I both would love to live in the PNW, but we've chosen to stay because of Grace's docs.

My clothes are in the trunk of the car. I just... I just don't want to.

That is a lovely house, and I agree with fewer deer heads it would be more appealing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Holy crap, that is a lot of deer heads.

But if I've learned one thing from working adjacent to Downton Abbey, it's that those houses are a bitch to maintain.

ION, Matt Bomer is on the cover of this HIV magazine, which was a little surprising to see in the lobby of my office. (Presumably pegged to The Normal Heart.)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I think there are more deer heads than bedrooms. A deer head for every buffista!

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

The manicured gardens sound like trouble to me.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That's what the deer are for. Or maybe they should have gone with goats.

ION, Washington Redskins just lost trademark protection on the name.
