Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

So much love to you, Pix and ND. I am so sorry it's come to this.

It's natural, and sometimes expected, but that doesn't make it *fair*, right? I'm sorry to read that.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I’m so sorry lisah.

In the “never a dull moment” category, yesterday evening Mr. S decided he was going to walk up to our room rather than taking the elevator. I don’t know exactly what happened, but somehow he fell down some stairs. Gary called 911, and the paramedics took him to the hospital. Must not have been that serious, as I was called about an hour later to pick him and Gary up. Other than falling asleep early (and skipping dinner), he seems to be fine.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Lisa, I'm so sorry. And Pix, I hope hospice is supportive for both your father and you.

Relatedly, I just got back from being out of town for a friend's father's funeral. I was close to him in college, because they were close by, so we spent a lot of weekends with them, but it had been years since I'd been out there. We were saying, more funerals than weddings from here on out.

I don’t like it.

Well, I kind of *started* there, too, but it's nothing to love.
