Earth is grateful that you got your swim in. That was a close one!
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

When I walked in and saw it was a zoo, Alia, instructor/guard, took one look at me, said "Bad day?" And walked over, tightened the lane lines, plopped a swimming lesson sign in the furthest lane from the chaos and waved me over with an exaggerated flourish. I actually hugged her.
So be grateful for Alia.

The status is NOT quo.
It's a hot summer day and I'm not working on home improvement for once, so I thought it would be fun to play a game for a bit. I'd read that Brothers on PS4 (originally PS3) was beautiful and a puzzle game, so I thought, sure, sounds relaxing.
The whole damned game is about death. Starts with a kid dealing with the death of his mother; involves a beautiful epic quest with two brothers seeking a cure for their father's illness, and then THE OLDER BROTHER IS KILLED AND YOU HAVE TO BURY HIM and the game ends with the younger brother returning home to cure his father alone. Last scene? Father weeping on the double graves of mother and older brother while younger brother looks stoically off in the distance.
SERIOUSLY? I mean, yes, beautiful and poignant and real, but NOT A RELAXING SUMMER GAME.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
amych, ~ma for you.

Dude, I feel bad that the economy of West Virginia has been so tied to a dying industry that is not healthy, sustainable, or good business - maybe as their Rep. you could do something do develop other industries and retrain the workers.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
And now Garry Marshall has died. I am building a Trump-style wall around Sondheim.

Happy to report that Mom is recovering quite well and they expect to spring her. Surgeon, Lung, Heart, and PCP all say okay. Amazing that she recovered so well with so many issues. Really the post surgical psychosis stuff was the worst of it. The surgery and her infections all healed up nice and quick.
