You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Kat - I am completely appalled by the ridiculousness of that parking office. Totally drunk with teeny tiny bureaucratic power.

In other news, IKEA opened their first store in Colorado yesterday. It is maybe 5 miles from where I live and traffic over there has been nuts. In fact, CJ will be doing traffic control from 6am - noon to manage IKEA traffic. Crazy cakes.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I would like to say I can't BELIEVE the parking office, but in my experience university parking offices are rife with an atmosphere that creates this petty tyrant atmosphere. I, too, think you should protest very vocally!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I'm betting a nickel that huge sign that looms over I-25 doesn't hold up against the winter's west winds.

Hah! We will see. The building is quite obvious from a distance without the freeway sign. I'm just surprised they still need traffic control help on Day 3.

I am pretty sure a letter needs to be written to the head of that office, with cc's to the President of the University, any office that serves students with disabilities, any professor on campus with a disability, her Doctors, and possibly any handicap advocacy groups in LA and possibly media.

you know, I'm not super busy right now . . .

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You might want to hide the videos of Grace running around and take some extra-pathetic pictures before you go to the media. Just a thought.....

So this is my last bit on this...

I had a student this year who was admitted to UCLA and also to USC. He is in a wheelchair with MD. He was getting big financial aid packages to both and I kept saying, pick USC. It's not a better school, but it's more manageable in terms of disability services.

AND HOW.

If we lived in a rainier place, I'd want to get batman boots for N & G and ita! Also how cute is the batman dress?

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

I want the Bat boots for me.
