Calling him funny Pythonesque names is one of my favorite pastimes.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Our wings are not tired.

I remember acting in a (short) play where one of the lines was "of all the illogical poppycock!" and the other actor had such a hard time delivering it without completely cracking up. It's one of my fondest memories of Kim*.

* Incredibly sadly, Kim went to ASU and her sophomore year was murdered. She was pre-med, straight As, tri-athlete. She was missing for a long time and some time later her bones were found a few miles from her house. [link]

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

ASU, not U of A.

I covered that case. It's a big part of what led to me leaving reporting.

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

I only travel with a stuffed animal if I'm really stressed out and I'm going to visit my parents or sister. Staying with anyone else or in a hotel, or visiting family while unstressy, the stuffed animal stays home.

Cass, yeah, I could only remember the Arizona part. You covered that case?? Fascinating. Kim was one of my best friends in High School.

Benedict Cumberbatch's name is like a cardboard box. All you need to do is apply a little imagination, and you can enjoy hours of free entertainment in a make-believe world with your invisible friend, Wooftykins Flossycack.

Kim's case really makes me wish for a real life Temperance Daesee Brennan, I tell you what.
