Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

Thanks, Laura!

ND, fingers crossed for a smooth flight.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Happy Birthday Steph!

Fingers crossed for your flight, ND.

Happy Birthday Steph!!!

Random: with my new issue of Real Simple I got a Bradford Exchange insert for a Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Cuckoo Clock. I can’t decide how I feel about this.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I halfway expected to hear that either there weren't any rentals or there was a GPS feature that kept sending him back to the airport (yes, it can do that ... happened to some people I work with).

And happy birthday Steph! May next year be better than this year.
