For the moment at least I need to try to shake it off.
First, good luck on the project review this morning.
Being responsible and doing what you gotta do is another trait you shared with BC. He powered through despite life's burdens. Most of my interactions with BC were of the social variety where I was delighted by his charming good nature and bright wit. But he also clearly had a side we didn't see as often. He took great pride in his body of work, and deservedly so! I loved how he could make jokes about the absurd obstacles put in the way of him doing his job by bat shit crazy bureaucracy. A too short life that made an impact on many levels.
So I am trying to keep some optimism over this healthcare crap. Is this going to be like the previous zillion times they voted to repeal. This dies in the Senate, right?
I'm sorry, Drew and Liese. I hope you can get through your days okay.

The Senate might pass something with significant differences and then it goes to conference committee to work out a compromise bill with the House. So this could go on quite a bit longer. I don't think there's a chance of getting this through the Senate in its current form.
I'm heartbroken today, for BC and for our country.
On the plus side, my Dad is out of surgery, back at home, and doing really well. Fuck cancer either way.
Huh. A defensive tackle on the KC Chiefs just followed me on Twitter.
That is good news, Jessica.
My brain is numb. It is all too much. FUCK cancer and FUCK ignorant people who can't see past their own noses.
I was reading through the list of "pre-existing conditions" that won't be covered and before I even got out of the A's, I had 4 or 5 things.
Condolences to Drew and Kristin, especially, but feeling sad for another Buffista loss.
I'm sorry, Liese. You're going through a lot of changes in a hurry.
I don't what to say about BC. I didn't know him very well, but he seemed like a great guy from everything I heard. It sounds like the world lost a light.
Shade and sweet water, BC. Perhaps I shall have the pleasure of meeting you if I ever get to Buffista Island...
Fuck you, cancer. Why don't you quit hurting my loved ones? You suck!
Drew, I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sorry for all of us, but I know it must be even harder for those who knew him best. All the ~ma for your meeting today.
Jess, I'm glad your dad is doing well.
