Watermelon balls for dessert.
I was going to do that, but I bought a girl watermelon.
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

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

So, I made a batch of kale chips with bacon salt. So good. And Noah, who won't eat any green food, ate some and even asked for more.
Grace asked for iced tea! And drank some from the straw. And swallowed it.
Dinner was eventful!

Apparently this weekend my street is closed off for an unannouncedbiker rally. I almost got clipped by a helmetless idiot swerving down a side street at about 40 mph on my walk home from the overflow parking lot, and now everyone is harmonizing the revving engines of their shiny surrogate penises.

Of COURSE it was iced tea that tempted her. She is your daughter. I'm just waiting for her to discover pasta and cheese.

And mine! Noah also prefers iced tea and calls soda gross.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I have done my democratic duty! (Australia has a federal election today.) For the first time ever, I regard neither party as deserving to win. Australia's political leadership right now, at both state and federal level, is IMO the worst in living memory.
And yet our economy is chugging along nicely. Go figure.

I know, right. Green Tea Lemonade was one of Noah's first phrases. It took FOREVER for us to figure out because it came out like "stinky gamete."

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, damn, Jilli, that outfit sounds nineteen kinds of awesome. And now I'm craving a bustle skirt even more than usual.
Re Boss #3, not only is his weaselly email as close to a win as we're likely to get, it may well be as close to a win as anyone's gotten in the last decade and a half. Clearing out the file cabinet drawers that nobody had touched since the early nineties, I came across 12-15 years' worth of angry notes, emails and formal letters from my various predecessors yelling at Boss #3 for fucking up one schedule after another and begging him, Please, I can't read your mind and I can't chase you down and get an answer in person every time there's a question about a random half hour. You're making me look stupid to all my supervisors, hurting your colleagues and hurting the patients. Please take some responsibility. PLEASE. And none of it's ever done a damn bit of good.
This tiny crumb of abashment? Probably the most anyone's choked out of him since Chelsea Clinton graduated from middle school.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Noah also prefers iced tea and calls soda gross.
He's right.
