And yet, our life expectancy is four years longer than America's. You might ascribe that to diet, or lifestyle, or better access to health care; but the truth is that we are just that bad-ass.
Well sure, all the family trees with weak constitutions were weeded out by the indigenous fauna in the first generations that colonized the continent! It's like all those Russian centenarians who live on grain and vodka, the winters killed off everyone that didn't have good genes.
Today on a conference call one of my bosses introduced me to the clients as my company's "fabulous" design and art manager. I was briefly tempted to channel Blaine Edwards in response.
Ok, packing is happening tomorrow. B needed me to take his dog out and then we got to chatting and..yeah.
Good job, JZ. I know that's so hard to do but what you did was so important.
(Especially if it's politics. Hello, idiots. Especially that one mayor)
Seriously, people, that mayor!
You guys! I am such the proud mama. Frances, who is actually super shy and has incredible stage fright, gave a very personal performance today at school as part of an after school theater class called My Own Story. Each kid wrote a few autobiographical pieces which then were turned into individual skits or monologues. It was very touching and sweet and moving as each kid basically gave a piece about their own fears and doubts and moments of overcoming them.
I made a video but I know Franny would hate it if I posted it, so I won't do that. But I will most likely post the flyer if I can get it scanned.
Oh, how wonderful! Go Franny!
That's so cool! Good job, Franny!
Thanks, it was such a cool project, and it seems like the kids really bonded.
