Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Whoa. In the book that I just found, I found out that not only did Joe not consult Rose before having the lobotomy done on Rosemary, he also didn't tell her afterwards. Rose was away at the time, and when she got back, Joe basically just told her that Rosemary had gotten worse and he'd put her in a good home. (He did pay a ton of money to this place -- he had her own house built for her on the grounds of the hospital, and paid for two nuns to be her full-time caregivers.) Rose didn't find out what had actually happened until 20 years later, after Joe had a stroke, and she was able to go visit Rosemary for the first time since then and figured it out.

Ouch. Letter from Joe to the nuns taking care of Rosemary:

I am still very grateful for your help ... after all, the solution of Rosemary's problem has been a major factor in the ability of all the Kennedys to go about their life's work and try to do it as well as they can.

Thanks, Barb. I found the Google preview of a book about the family, and it's answering most of the questions I'd had.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I felt my first kick! I was at the OB's office and told the OB that I think I've felt little flutters but nothing for sure yet. She then used the doppler to hear his heartbeat and almost immediately we both felt him kick! So cool! Poor DW has been waiting and waiting to feel it. Let's hope he does it for her soon.

Oh, and the secretary who's been trying to get everyone to go to her church asked my officemate today, "Are you Catholic, or are you Christian?"

"Are you Catholic, or are you Christian?"

People are working extra hard to get my hate on today.

“Not dead yet!”

Think of velvet night and car hoods and holding hands and stars, Sean.

Now that is a happy place.

We almost both fell asleep next to each other on the hood of my car. Holding hands. Why can't I just live there, in that moment? Except I can barely wait for the next moment.
