Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Nuh uh. Thanks for the warning. DD and The Big Easy dvds usually were our takealongs for H's and my weekend getaways. We never actually *watched* them, waving the case around and quoting from either or both films was usually enough to instigate shenanigans.

~ma to your brother, Suela.

and all patience, fortitude, and wisdom to you, Kat.

Woot! Scrappy. May all steps go well.

Ditto, Zen. Fast, uncomplicated and successful healing.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

What the everloving fuck?

I did not watch it, but I was enjoying reading everyone's reaction on Twitter last night.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My personal Dirty Dancing story: I can't remember how the conversation started, but one time my father referred to it as that movie about the father/daughter relationship. Aw, dads.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

one time my father referred to it as that movie about the father/daughter relationship.

Aw, that's so sweet! And he's not wrong.

Fingers crossed for your brother, Consuela.

I am on hour 35 of an Aleve-resistant migraine. The headache isn't actually too severe, but I've had it pretty much continuously since I woke up Wednesday morning. Very annoying.

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.

smonster, thanks for the link. The web doctor had me open my mouth and bring the iPad camera close up so she could see inside. I have no sores or spots in my mouth. She did deliberate about fungus vs. bacteria, and asked questions about the appearance of the rash over the months, like if it was scaley or anything. And she did caution me that if this Bactroban does not help, taking a culture would be a good idea.

Matt, that just sucks.

Does napping count as working?

Code it as staff enrichment/stress management exercise.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

TIL that D2: The Mighty Ducks starred not only a young Joshua Jackson, but a young Elden Henson, aka Foggy from Daredevil.

Saw a CNN tweet about Ben Jacobs and made the mistake of looking at the replies. Ugh, seems a majority of people think assaulting reports for asking questions is awesome. Have to remind myself it's only a majority of people who respond to CNN tweets.

How does this work? My father calls me, I don't get to the phone in time, I call him right back...he doesn't pick up.

Pocket dial, maybe.

That happens with my wife sometimes. She gets so pissed that I didn't answer the phone so she won't take my calls for awhile.

Probably not the case in this instance.
