Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Burrell, my sympathies to you and C and your family. May it be an easy and peaceful passing.

And, as it turns out, I'm asking the same thing, for my DH's grandmother. Following a couple of weeks of declining health, she apparently took a drastic turn for the worst last night. We're driving out to OKC tonight to be with her. (M was supposed to leave on Sunday for a month-long research trip in the UK and Ireland, but now that's all up in the air.)

It's not entirely unexpected, but until recently we had reason to hope she had a few more good years left. This is going to be really hard on M and his mom, following so closely after M's brother's death, which was less than a year ago. God, this family needs some happy news in the worst way.

Anyway, some ~ma for strength, peace, and clarity would be much appreciated. Thanks, y'all.

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

We're driving out to OKC tonight to be with her

Be sure to check the road conditions before you leave. Last I heard there was a major detour off I-40 for a flooded section east of Little Rock, with lots of backed-up truck traffic.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, Kate. Best thoughts to all of you as well.

not your mom's socks.

Burell, much ~ma to your MiL and to you and your family. Kate, much ~ma to M's grandmother and to your family.

I love the pants infographic.

While ita's in the jury pen, we should think of things for her to draw.

Also, I want an infographic for the following: Is _____ a secret Buffista? because I have my suspicions about a person I just met. Hiya, we just met, if you're out there.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Burrell and Kate, so much ~ma for your respective family members. Good thoughts are headed your way.
