Ah, the first end of school kid drop off of the new school year. I expected more chattering from the kids.
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh god, Maria, how terrible. I'm sorry.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Holy crap, that's horrible, Maria.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Thanks, everyone. It's absolutely terrible for his family. His life choices don't make the outcome surprising, but his mother is all torn up that she didn't do enough to keep her son on the right path or get him off of the wrong one. He was headed to Tampa at the end of the month to live with his uncle and get a fresh start. The gun and drug culture continue to rack up victims.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm sorry, Maria. That's terrible.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm so sorry, Maria. How terrible.
I was thinking this morning that I should try to go get a massage after work but right now I feel like I don't have the wherewithal. Pretty sad when getting a massage is too much to manage. [I've got salespeople making trouble for me on all sides. Do not want]

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm sorry Maria, how awful for everyone. And I'm sorry too that you can't even post it in a more public forum because you're right, too easy for someone to say something thoughtlessly cruel.

Ok. Off to the airport for a flight to Kansas. Leaving now to hopefully bypass some rush hour traffic, and maybe have time for a quick massage??

I'm so sorry, Maria. How terrible for your family. I hope your aunt finds some peace.
