Of course the point also being it isn't his phone or his car! So your rules, not his. Also, big hugs.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Huh I thought I posted.
One mystery solved, he is currently at work, or at least the car is. So I don't have to keep driving around trying to figure out where he is.

So this week has been wild. After saying the battery needed to be replaced in my dad's pacemaker/defibrillator before my dad could have the gall bladder out, the cardiologist has now decided that his heart had stabilized enough to go on with the surgery and that the pacemaker had enough juice to last for a couple of months. So my dad's scheduled (again) for gall bladder surgery tomorrow. All this backing and forthing makes me wonder about the doctor's judgement, but the surgeon is apparently very cautious and agrees with the cardiologist. So that's something. Anyway please send some surgery_ma my dad's way tomorrow.

Wow, Sue- surgery ~ma for your dad!
Happy Birthday Son of Laura!
I hate that "To Build a Fire" story. I feel like all we ever read in high school were short stories by Jack London, Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck and Bret Harte. All of which I hate. But I did like "For Whom the Bell Tolls" (Hemingway) and "The People of the Abyss" (London) so maybe I just hate short stories? But even though I didn't have the term at the time, my whole high school English curriculum made me annoyed at "blah blah blah manpain" And yet, still, I was an English Major. But seriously, both the Old Man and the Sea and The Pearl made me want to shoot myself in the head!

Thanks everyone.
Sophia, I hate The Pearl too, That and Lord of the Flies, the only assigned book in HS that I refused to finish.

My high school definitely hammered home the idea that Great Literature had to be depressing. I'm glad I found Wilde and Donne on my own, or I might have thought I hated English, in spite of spending every spare hour with my nose in a book.
