Oh, mother. She called to see if I wanted to do something with them tomorrow. I said sure, but I have this massage at 11. So I wouldn't be over there until 1:30 or 2. That's kind of late, she says. Late for what?? We're going to take my grandmother shopping, I don't need to do that for more than three hours anyway, and that would still get them home in plenty of time for dinner at 6. I mean, seriously.
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Am now in Fon du Lac. (For those of you who are placing pushpins on a map.)
My dad has vision difficulties as a result of recent cataract surgery (and possibly his Parkinson's). His driving made me nervous and made me feel bad for not having my drivers license renewed in time for my trip.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Allyson, I'm so very sorry. If it helps with perspective, I've done the same thing four times, taken in a stray. Twice it's ended in unexpected tragedy, twice it's ended in a long, loving relationship.
In Oliver's case, everyone else is so right. He was warm, he was fed, he was safe from sudden fearful pain and death, and he was even loved enough to be named. He didn't starve, cold and alone, and he wasn't in pain. You did your very very best for him, and it's nobody's fault it just wasn't to be this time. Don't let it steel you against future need, though. Oliver wouldn't want that.
Peace and comfort to you.

Bad news: Safari finally got around to killing the account I had as a former employee of a partner of theirs.
Good news: One of my former co-workers is willing to comp me 2 of the books I need.

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 sorry, Allyson, but I'll agree with the rest - he was lucky to have you as a person.

Allyson you totally did the right thing for him. If there more to be done you would have done, but you did everything that could be done.
