Wow, my nephew came in 1st in his age group! 2:56:58 on the 1600 meter swim, 23.4 Mile Bike, 10k Run. He had no clue until they announced it. Impressive.
We're proud to say that the Class of '99 has the lowest mortality rate of any graduating class in Sunnydale history.

That which does not kill you should RUN

His group was 15-19 year-olds. He was 13th overall for the men. Seriously badass.

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

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Debet!
Asshole Neighbor is having work done on his car, and the horn has been honked a number of times. At first I thought it was just him, since honking his horn repeatedly is one of the things he does to annoy us(along with playing his tv too loud), but it was some guy I didn't recognize. Ah, well...

Happy birthday, Debet!
Congrats, nephew of Laura!
Alas, the house with the cute porch had far less cute signs of water damage and termites in the basement. But it was fun to check it out, and I’d definitely consider a house in that neighborhood in better condition.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Thanks everyone! For my birthday, I got a hurricane, power and cell outage, and a shave ice machine!

Quite a mixed bag there, Debet. May the rest of the year have more in the plus column.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Ok, that hip flexor sprain? Not as bad as I feared. With strategic use of 600mg ibuprofen every six hours or so, I'm having almost no pain in that thigh at all, even when it's in positions that were literally agonising yesterday.
Thank you, whoever's listening up there. I needed that relief.
Love and hugs and ease~ma to all Buffistas and loved ones who are suffering today. You are all extraordinary humans, and I am extremely fortunate to number all of you among my nearest and dearest. Buffista love is good, good love. And we're foamy as hell, to boot.

Ah, somebody got my letter. Putting the dots in like the Commander likes. (Of course, I could have sent it about the job losses or something else and the relief is on backorder, but at least the Powers sent it and not some stupid postcard.) Nobody wants to work anymore.
