Thank goodness, Maria.
One cousin and her husband and child are OK, but it's all happening not very far from their house.
I hope they stay safe.
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
It's horrible. Poor Paris.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesus.

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
So do I, Tep.
My heart is breaking. My family is safe, but so many others are not.

Maria, glad your family is safe.
Ugh. It's awful.

In better news, revise my weekend plans to include setting up and staring at my hotass new TV. Is it weird that I'm going to save that until tomorrow afternoon? I can't get over how cheap and light it is.

I've been cleaning out a corner of my office, found a box of genealogy stuff I got from my mother, including pictures of me when very small. "Oh, I have to go show him, he loves seeing old pictures of me."
I think I'm done cleaning for the night.

Death toll in Paris is up to 158. Fuck.

Jesus. I came up to the Y lobby to see people clustered around the tv. Saw a stadium field, thought "oh, just a game and left." Got home and had left the radio on and PRI's The World was on live and suddenly the context of the lobby completely changed.
Glad your family is all accounted for, Maria.
