Kobe Bryant has apparently died in a helicopter crash.
What the fuck?
Harmony: Somebody remembered to pick me up the sweetest unicorn. Guess someone was feeling guilty for standing me up in tenth grade. Brad: What? Had to get her something. She sired me. Peaches: Sire-whipped.

Oh,man, Tom! Falling sucks! I fell on my face on my my front walk in November and still have a lump on my forehead. I had a nasty black eye for weeks (also it hurt like hell).

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Sorry about your fall, Tom. Glad it wasn't worse.

And a friend of mine here in Somerville is just now considered recovered from a concussion that she got slipping on the ice last winter. So any fall you don't get worse than a couple stitches is a good fall!

Apparently Kobe was with his 13 year old daughter and another parent and child on the way to a travel basketball game she was playing.

In other news, the news from Wuhan about the Coronavirus outbreak is... not good. Among other issues, it's infectious before symptoms show up. Which makes it hella hard to identify and contain.

Yes, that virus is extremely troublesome. This one of the times when the world becomes a very small place.

Oh my gosh. Not a sports person at all (except hockey rpf), but what a shock and how horrible for the families
Apparently I walk like a little old lady. The Uber drivers all seem to think I am senior! And are surprised when I am in my 40s. Which is a change from work where everyone thinks I am in my 30s! So weird.

Speaking of falls, we just had a disturbing incident here -- Rosemary tripped and fell in the living room and couldn't get herself up by herself. (Her knees and back are bad.) I only found out after 20 minutes when she called up to me.
I know better than to try to get her up by myself -- she's badly overweight on top of her other problems, so we called 911 and a full deployment of cop, fire department and ambulance came. Once upright, she was a little bruised but otherwise OK to stay home.
Now I'm going to worry that if she manages to fall again (and eventually, we all will) she might end up lying on the floor for a couple hours until I get home. SIGH.
