I am the one that doesn't like to pick people up or go to the airport early in the am - I am not a good driver , nor do I work very well in the am - however - if it was the way to get them here ( or home) I woud do it . And I have taken Bart out to SF ( back when It was part bus) so no one has to do it alone.
Wash: I didn't think you were one for rituals and such. Mal: I'm not, but it'll keep the others busy for a while. No reason to concern them with what's to be done.

Yeah, I don't know what's wrong w/ sumi's brother.
Sumi's brother, you are shunned.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
It's time like the holidays that I'm so especially grateful for the family that I have.
Mom was crying because she'd felt too sick to take me out for a birthday dinner. I ran out to get some Chinese food, and we watch Shall We Dance on DVD that she really liked, but I couldn't convince her that I was pretty happy with this birthday. SIGH.

And I join in the sumi-brother-shunning.

This--and also, while I would always get my sister from the airport, I also know she cares enough to try not to take a flight at some ungodly hour, unless it's hugely cheaper. In my family "but it was on sale/x% off!" always wins.

Our wings are not tired.
Some of you know that my ancient past includes taking a taxi home from a hospital stay (tonsillectomy at 13) because...well...someone couldn't be bothered to pick me up at whatever time it was in the morning that I was discharged (sometimes I get into a taxi now, all these years later, and have flashbacks of being scared that if something happened to me on the way home, I wouldn't be able to yell for help. And of having the creepy driver follow me into our empty apartment and watch me break open my piggybank to pay him the cabfare from Berkeley to Alameda).
There's a reason I do things like pick up K-bug from SFO when her flight's been delayed until the wee hours; because the only way to stop childhood crap is to actively choose the opposite when it's your turn to be a caring adult. So it makes me really sad that Sumi's family didn't or couldn't make the effort since she deserves the effort. I'm sorry, Sumi.

(I have to laugh when I remember Claudia's response at my hoping to have my piggybank $ restored: "wasn't my ass in that cab!" You have to admit, that bitch was funny.)

I would like to time travel and dole out both hugs and ass whoopings.
