Mom just found that ltc has a new tooth, which probably explains the tantruming lately.

Mac would probably like a fighting class for these brief moments when he is mad, but the rest of the time he would resent having to go and he would never practice.

Therapist confirmed he is just mad at status quo. Literally he thought that because he met the minimum expected rules for one week that they should be lifted. I laughed out loud.

If you're home and not watching CSPAN, I recommend you fix that. It is positively exhilarating seeing all these Reps from across the county getting up and speaking so passionately.

Ryan cut the cameras and the mikes on the podium but they're streaming from a Rep's iPad or something.

Thanks, Brenda. I'm always happy to see Dems displaying conviction.

Love the Rep. from Duluth. He talked about how duck hunters in his district couldn't have more than two shells in their rifle. And then he asked why LGBT people couldn't be as safe as a duck.

I have problems with the no fly watch list as a legal thing, but we need to move forward on some sort of gun control.

I found the reference to the odd Sherlock Holmes book, Druid's Blood by Esther Friesner, who did New York by Knight and lots of other books. It was written in 1986 and, like I said, is very odd.

Our wings are not tired.

However, here's some (good?) news about Burger King: [link]

I gasped which caused #1 son to come over and look at my computer. Our conclusion is that we must have them immediately.

msbelle, my 24 yo recently walked 30 miles in Florida because he was worked up about something. It isn't the same as adults trying that stuff. The same boy often walks several miles when he has to work stuff out. Also, sounds like the therapist might well have told him the facts of life. Good.

Dooo Eeet!

I wouldn't recommend letting him know about it now, but years down the line it will have wonderful entertainment value.
