Don't worry about Mitch. His job comes with an excellent insurance coverage.
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

McConnell has shoulders?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Can I still do grandparents? I guess each of my four came up with their own name? Because I had Grammy and Granddad, and Memere and Gramps.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm still not sure what I want to be called by my grandchildren.
It was only 42F out when I got up this morning! Meanwhile I read where July was the hottest month every recorded. It was 55 inside the house so I have space heaters going now. I won't run them while I sleep. Supposedly it will get to 77 later. This ends the Otter Lake weather report.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Aw, Mitch McConnell fell at his house and fractured his shoulder. I guess there's a tiny bit of karma coming back at him.
As a friend of mine said on Twitter, falls are a known risk of having no backbone.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Because I had Grammy and Granddad, and Memere and Gramps.
Oooh, Memere. Is that French, Fancy or Nickname?
Matilda has a Nana and a Papou.
Since JZ is Greek she had a YiaYia.
I had a Grandma and Grandpa, and my sole maternal grandparent was just Grandpa Wynn.

Ugh, one of my Kenyon friends is a expat teacher in China. She's been off bike touring around this summer and scratched the side of her nose and it started bleeding.
Went in to have it checked and they took a biopsy.
Basal cell carcinoma and they just (spoiler font for squeamish) removed the left half of her nose. It just happened so quickly. It's treatable and she can undergo reconstructive surgery, but it's still horrifying.

French! (Canadian.)

Ugh indeed, David. Best wishes for successful treatment.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
My grandparents were Dad Dad and Bammie (because apparently I couldn't say Grammy when I was little) and Grandpa and Grammy on my mother's side. My mother goes by Bubby (her choice) with my nieces and nephews.
Just got back from a weekend camping on the Cape with no connectivity to hear about the latest shootings. Jeebus.
