Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm glad there are people around here still willing to celebrate the holidays.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Do you think there's a place where people who appeared naked and dirty on Real Sex can go and anonymously complain about the choices they made in public fifteen years ago?

I'm transfixed. And I can't imagine HBO making shows like this anymore, but I'm new to the station.

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 really shouldn't feel uncomfortable about talking to Dad about wanting some of Mom's ashes, should I? And yet, I do. I don't know how to have that conversation with him.

I can see it feeling awkward to bring up but I think your dad will totally understand even be very supportive of you.

Now tagless for your comfort.

ita, they had to put a PICC line in for my nephew today. YIKES! Sinking a central line into a 1 lb 14 oz body. I can only shudder. It went ok, though. He's going to get medicated for a slight heart murmur. They said regular IVs wear out on those teeny veins too quickly.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I know what you mean about Real Sex, ita. The first episode I saw was about sex dolls and had a man on it who treated his doll like she was the Perfect Woman and was not to be sullied by sex. I would compare him to Lars of Lars and the Real Girl except this guy was very much aware that his doll was not alive and he felt she was all the more perfect for that.

Yikes is right, Cash! Sending much ~ma to that tiny little boy.

Was Real Sex that long ago? I was once at dinner when an ex starting telling a story that began, "One night, your daughter and I were watching Real Sex..." to my chagrin. I tried to explain that maybe this wasn't the story we told to my mother and your wife. Certainly not until the second bottle of wine.

It is just past 9. I went to work at 8. I just finished working in between dinner, swim, dentist appointment, more work...

I am so done.

Real Sex was HBO right, not MTV?

Thanks, Burrell. He's teeny but so feisty! Breathing 100% on his own.
