I just got to see the Prop 8 stuff. That's huge. I just have to avoid FB in case one of my annoying relatives posts something that I'll have to go off on.
I'll do it.
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Our wings are not tired.
Awww, Cash, that sucks. I am sorry.

Thanks, java. Life usually hands out a couple of completely douchy days and this just happens to be one of them.
Bright side? Nearly over.

Aw, Cash, that utterly blows.
So I'm shifting my frame of reference. Instead of seeing this impending road trip as darting across the country to babysit dad, I'm taking this as our family vacation. I think I have to pull Noah from two weeks of his summer program (ugh... I wanted those to be an adjustment for him. Sorry, kid). I think we'll take the Northern Route to Ohio and the Southern Route home. So if you leave near I-80 or I-40 and would like to hook up, let me know.
Tomorrow is Dad's pacemaker surgery.

I know Cruces is off the path of 40 by 3 hours, but if it falls in line with getting where ever, I'l hook you up with my parents. I'm pretty damned certain they'd be happy to put you up at any time.

Kathy, I'm up for Xoco any time you want. Really. Any time.
We really must have a weekend date! I'd have to get my ass downtown, though--it's been forever since I've been in the city.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Ugh, Cash. I hope the bad days are over for the year.
I also did not have a good day, other than Prop 8

What is even happening?
Oh Lisa, I'm so sorry.
Kat, you gotta do what you gotta do, but as a parent, your first charge is your kids. If you can't manage the kids and the other things you have to/want to do, you are not evil if you say no.

Cindy, I don't feel evil but I do feel like my dad is not well and I need to see him. He's been hospitalized twice in 3 weeks and has undergone one heart procedure and has another tomorrow.
Here's another wrench. I'm scared that if we go away, we'll lose our awesome nurse who actually got Grace to eat some applesauce by mouth today.
Ideally, I'd be able to leave Grace here and just take Noah. Or maybe I should just go by myself and leave both kids here. But I also worry that if things go downhill with Dad, I won't be able to fly out and I certainly won't be able to take the kids and my kids should get to spend time with him while they can. Morbid much?

That gave me a happy!
I hope you can work it out without too much more stress, Kat.
