But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

but I like to think the fans would act the same way no matter who the team was. We want our team to win, but not at the expense of another player's health or even life.

Oh it totally read to me like they just were supporting a football team and injured player. Doesn't matter the team. Total class. It could be any team and they'd support them. Class team in your hood, Tep.

They need to call this. Even the best news seems like it'll be life-changing. At best. This is awful.

Even the best news seems like it'll be life-changing. At best. This is awful.

A Fox reporter said that not only was CPR performed, but an AED was used, and Hamlin had a pulse but couldn't breathe on his own. It would be heartless to make those guys keep playing after that.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

This is scary.

Call it. Even if he's alive and responding, players can't be expected to play after this scary situation. And best case scenario seems far away right now.

I do feel sorry for the ESPN team trying to fill airtime.

Jesus, about fucking time. The NFL officially suspended the game.

Yeah, everyone trying to fill airtime was just ridiculous. What more was there to say? They just had to keep repeating how upsetting it was.

Filling airtime was so bad. Thankfully they finally called it. It was hard to watch.

Fingers crossed for Damar Hamlin.

And RIP Ken Block. It's always sad when racing takes a great, younger driver. You lived and raced well. If there is an afterlife, race on.

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

Yikes. I hadn’t heard anything about the game until just now. Best wishes to the injured player.

Filling airtime would be hard yikes.

I was all excited yesterday because I could sit around and do nothing and still have today to prep. Except I also did very little today (walk with a friend, and Yoga with Adrienne). Oops.

I tried to book a flight for my World Cup plans this summer, but it’s refusing to book it saying the seats don’t exist. Grr.

And I have 7am meetings tomorrow. And 8am,9am, and 10am. Whee?
