Good, touchdown celebrations are stupid anyway
Outrage! What nerve the National Football League has to rob us of yet another super-awesome-fun-wicked football tradition! The NFL just won't be the same without players having the freedom to dunk the ball over the goal posts following a touchdown. Wait, yes it will. I'll admit that the NFL's rulebook has grown obese. I'll admit that the "No Fun League" has become overwrought...

AA Q&A: Trey Wingo
Compared to some of his cohorts at ESPN, it sometimes seems as though Trey Wingo flies under the radar. He's not bombastic or silly, and he doesn't really bring the hubris. That, in our opinion, is a good thing. And that's why it's usually a joy to watch Wingo do his thing on NFL Live. This week, Awful Announcing caught up with Wingo for 10 questions. ...

On a serious note, quite a few of the older navy ships have been recomissioned in the Australian navy, and I believe a number again with some of the asian countries. I think India picked up a good few of them.
But I suspect we'll see it bought by some private entity with too much money, and it will be made to turn cheap tricks.
How about an "anything goes" party boat that can sail out to international waters?

One of our plumbers worked on the previous Ark Royal as a fitter on the catapults. He told some tales...
Scroll down the Wiki page and compare her to the Nimitz. We are not even playing the same game!
* Found one source: http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/cvf/ "No catapult or arresters will be fitted in the initial build but the carrier will be built to accommodate a future back-fit. The carrier will be fitted with a steam catapult or electromagnetic launch system and arrester gear, if the option to convert the carrier to the conventional take-off and landing (CTOL) variant proceeds."

Scott Rigell of Virginia is asking colleagues to sign a letter to Obama that urges him to reconvene Congress and seek approval for any military action.Rigell says that engaging the U.S. military in Syria in the absence of a direct threat to the United States and without prior congressional authorization would violate the constitutional separation of powers.Several Republican and Democratic lawmakers are similarly invoking the War Powers Resolution. The U.S. appears likely to use force in response to alleged chemical weapons attacks by Syria's Bashar Assad regime.The 1973 resolution demands Congress' authorization within 60 days of strikes. Presidents of both parties have largely disregarded it.

Nov. 12 (Bloomberg) -- A former campaign adviser to President Barack Obama urged that Energy Secretary Steven Chu be replaced and warned of Republican attacks over "inside" deals including Solyndra LLC that went to Obama supporters.
In a February e-mail circulated among administration officials, Dan Carol, who was an issues adviser in Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, wrote that Obama's clean-energy agenda was stalled because of ineffective management.
Carol's proposal to oust Chu was among e-mails the administration gave yesterday to a House Energy and Commerce panel investigating Solyndra, the solar-panel maker that filed for bankruptcy in September, two years after receiving a $535 million U.S. loan guarantee. The Republican-led panel issued a subpoena Nov. 3 for White House documents on the company.
Carol warned in the Feb. 25, 2011, e-mail of "attacks that are surely coming over Solyndra and other inside DOE deals that have gone to Obama donors and have underperformed." He didn't name other examples.
Carol recommended that Chu, who won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1997, be made the department's chief scientist.
"Secretary Chu is a wonderful and brilliant man, but he is not perfect for the other critical DOE mission: deploying existing technologies at scale and creating jobs," Carol wrote. "Someone else should do that and lead a new team."
Meeting With Bankers
The department needed "someone comfortable meeting with bankers (Chu is not) and who gets deployment from the bottom up," Carol said.
Peter Rouse, an adviser to Obama, wrote to another White House official, Nancy-Ann Deparle, on March 14, 2011, in response to Carol's proposal.
"I'm not that interested in Dan's criticism of Secretary Chu, but what do you think of Dan's general assessment of the need for greater focus on our energy policy agenda?" Rouse wrote.
Asked about Carol's reference to deals to other Obama donors, Eric Schultz, a White House spokesman, said in an e-mail yesterday that Carol was "predicting a partisan line of attack on the DOE loan guarantee program."
Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton, a Michigan Republican, and Representative Cliff Stearns, a Florida Republican who leads the investigations panel, have said they needed internal White House documents to judge whether the White House pushed the Solyndra guarantee to benefit a political donor.
'Holding the Bag'
The e-mails provided yesterday and thousands of pages of communications previously released "do not contain evidence of favoritism to political supporters or any wrongdoing by the White House in connection with the Solyndra loan guarantee," White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler said in a letter to the committee.
The new e-mails "included a limited number of self-selected documents," Upton and Stearns said in a statement yesterday. "We're hoping this is the beginning of an effort to finally make public these missing pieces of a process that left us all holding the bag for over 500 million dollars."
Solyndra's investors include a family foundation founded by Oklahoma billionaire George Kaiser, a campaign fundraiser for Obama.
Kaiser told the energy committee's staff in a two-hour interview on Nov. 8 that he didn't lobby on behalf of the company, according to Democratic Representatives Henry Waxman of California and Diana DeGette of Colorado, both members of the House energy panel.
185,000 Documents
The committee has received more than 185,000 e-mails and other communications among officials at the White House and in federal agencies involved in the guarantee, according to an administration official who briefed reporters yesterday and declined to be identified discussing the e-mails released to Congress.
The e-mails added to evidence that White House officials were interested in promoting the guarantee to the Fremont, California, solar-panel maker, which was the first clean-energy company to receive a loan guarantee.
In an Aug. 19, 2009, e-mail, Aditya Kumar, an aide to White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, said Emanuel wanted Obama to attend the groundbreaking ceremony for a plant Solyndra built with the federal aid.
Chu ended up going instead, and Vice President Joe Biden gave a speech via a video feed.

It's Just a Swollen Lymphnode
Posted on | September 5, 2014 | 22 Comments
So… rationally, I believe I'm okay. Irrationally, I am thinking through a plan of action in the off chance that Dr. Google is correct and I should avoid going into any light of any kind, ever.
On Tuesday, I spent the day on a military base with 40 of my favorite people. During the morning, I went to pull my hair up off my neck and felt something strange. I rubbed on it, pushed it, pulled it, and did everything short of try to pop it like a pimple and when I realized it was out of place, I began asking everyone else to do the same. It was decidedly a lump, though some called it a horn of pure meanness, and I decided I'd call my doctor the next day. While waiting for my 2:30 appointment on Wednesday, I googled possible scenarios… you know "Death and lumps," and "swollen lymph nodes that equal total annihilation of life." Just reasonable stuff. I became convinced that I had about six hours left to live which would just get me in to the doctor in time for her to sadly announce that if only I'd gotten there sooner there would have been a course of treatment.
In all seriousness, I wasn't that worried. It was just a swollen lymph node. They're pretty common when you're sick.
Only I wasn't sick.
So I went in and my doctor ran her hand over my neck and I saw the surprise in her eyes as she felt it again. And again. And a third time.
Then she sat down and asked me a string of questions about how long it had been there, if it hurt, and if there were anything I'd done that could have caused it.
With an apologetic smile, she told me she was sending me for an ultrasound.
"It's non-invasive," she smiled. "It'll just give us a look at what's going on, just in case. I don't want you to worry, but I had a woman come in once with swollen lymphnodes and it was lymphoma."
You know it's a party when the doctor talks cancer.
So I went the next day for my ultrasound, still convinced it was nothing or everything, depending on the moment. The technician was kind and when I left, gave me the impression that everything was probably fine… though she didn't give me results. I felt good. I felt like I had worried for nothing and went home and snuggled my child without a care in the world.
This morning, I felt better than I had all week. I was all smiles and jokes… I was going to live and that's pretty great, right?
My phone rang at 9:00 am.
My doctor's office was referring me to a general surgeon.
"The ultrasound showed enlargement… and things…" the nurse sort of stuttered as if she didn't really know what the ultrasound showed, she was just reading a message left by the physician. "If you don't hear from the surgeon by Tuesday, call us back, though, and we'll get you in."
And just like that, everything fell apart.
Rationally, I know I'm fine.
If only I lived in a rational world.
Being in Love
Posted on | August 28, 2014 | 4 Comments
Should I go the Woody Allen route and announce that "Love is too weak a word for what I feel — I luuurve you, you know, I loave you, I luff you, two F's, yes I have to invent, of course I do, don't you think I do?" Maybe the sappy (and incorrect) "Love means never having to say you're sorry" from Love Story? Or perhaps echo the old stand by Pride and Predjudice with the gloriously unrealistic Mr. Darcy's startling proclamation that Elizabeth has "bewitched him body and soul" and he loves her. Books and movies seem to focus entirely too much time on the falling in love and not enough just on the BEING in love, you know? But love isn't just about the falling; in fact… I dare say that's not even the best part. The best part comes after the fall, when you're knee deep in the mud and muck of BEING in love. Me? I'm full on in love… the REAL kind. Where the movie leaves off and you think they just ride off into the sunset forever but really they go home and someone has to do the dishes after dinner and someone else forgot to pick up milk at the store. Being in love is the day to day drudgery and gloriousness that comes long after the butterflies of a first date… it's the moments that still take your breath away even in the midst of all the moments when you're too busy to notice just how good you have it.
Of course, BEING in love isn't the stuff of movies…. Falling in love is more delirious; more suited for romance. Falling in love is an epic anthem played by a symphony while you run through a field of daffodils clutching your beloved's hand. Falling in love is… decidedly easy, if we're being honest. But BEING in love? Being in love is a horse of a different color.
Being in love is rolling your eyes because he forgot to pick up yellow table cloths at the dollar store, but loving him for spending $23 there anyway on random things for your son's birthday party. Being in love is sometimes getting up early enough to make breakfast and sometimes shrugging and saying "no" because you don't have to DO things to love someone. You don't have to cook or clean or anything else… but sometimes you do. Sometimes I do. But I do it not because it's my duty or my job to please him. I do it not because a woman is SUPPOSED to do those things for a man… I do it because it makes him happy. And making him happy makes me so happy that it really feels like a selfish act.
Sometimes we fight. Sometimes I get so mad at him that I think my head will fly off my neck, orbit the Earth and then explode in a mushroom cloud of anger at his door step. Sometimes I hurt his feelings and sometimes he hurts mine. But when that happens, our love means saying sorry… and BEING sorry. Because it hurts to hurt the person you love.
Sometimes he drives me bat shit crazy… But sometimes? He brings me the centerpiece off a work lunch table. Sometimes he calls just to say "hi." Sometimes he grabs my hand and wraps his fingers into mine with a ferocious gentleness that makes me smile so big my cheeks nearly split. Sometimes he is mostly perfect. Sometimes I am nearly there myself. And sometimes… maybe more of the time… we are both individual disasters.
But we love each other. And although we are totally imperfect individuals, I think we're totally perfect together. Because when we're together we work hard at being more for each other… more than just two imperfect people. I guess… if falling in love is Drew Barrymore standing on the pitcher's mound while Michael Vartan walks purposely toward her for a kiss, being in love is the couple they don't show. The one sitting in the stands with their two kids fighting over who gets which end of the hotdog while they, the parents take that one moment to glance up at each other and the father presses his knee slightly against hers… and she knows.
He loves her. She loves him.
And that is all that matters.
Never Underestimate the Importance of Mascara
Posted on | August 27, 2014 | 4 Comments
I have a confession to make…
If I don't wear mascara, I look like a rabid albino monkey.
There. I said it. ::breathes sigh of relief:: I mean, I hate that it's true. I hate that having reddish blonde eye lashes means my eyes sort of sink back into my head without artificial accents, but it's the truth. And it's awful. Especially on days like today, when I can't find my make up bag to save my ever loving life.
I know that I had it yesterday.
I know that I had eye lashes on my face yesterday, which means that I screwed my mouth sideways and squinted into a mirror and put the mascara on just so, and gave myself those lashes.
So where is it today?
Who knows.
And that's sort of how my morning has gone. It's been one missing thing after another. At one point, I couldn't even find J because he was hiding under the dining room table. It took him making a ghostly "whoooooooo" sound for me to even locate him and that, my friends, is just sad. He's five. He's not exactly an expert hider. Traditional games of hide and seek usually take only a few minutes because he will do something like crawl under the covers of the bed, creating a lump of covers and then announce "YOU'LL NEVER FIND ME HERE!" as though I a) can't see; and b) can't hear.
So it was a morning of losing things…my mind, my mascara, my child. And when I finally got to work it felt like such an epic achievement that I wanted to just reward myself by turning around and going home again. Instead, I made a pot of coffee, basically mainlined the entire thing, and found myself seated at my desk and somewhat caffeinated enough to work. On my first trip to the bathroom, I stepped out of the stall and did a Dowager Countess of Grantham double take. Honestly. If I hadn't just peed, it would have scared the pee out of me. I actually didn't even recognize my own reflection. THAT'S how important mascara is, people.
Sigh. My mind is gone. My coffee is now gone. My mascara is gone and thus my eyes are gone.
I look like a rabid, albino monkey… and it's only Wednesday.
Please send make up. STAT.
I'm Not Quite a Baller

A couple of months ago, another attorney in town sent me an email, asking if I'd participate in a charity flag football game to raise money for Alzheimer's research. Of course I said yes, because how do you even say no to that? Plus, I'd played flag football in the past… in high school and even in college. I knew what I was doing. I would just put on my running clothes and run around while people throw me a ball on occasion, right?
Um… no. See also: Dear God what was I thinking.
First of all, I'm old now. The last time I played a team sport other than beer pong or corn hole, I was in my VERY early twenties. So even though I fancy myself to be in pretty decent shape, my shape tends more toward round than lean. Last night was the first practice I could attend. I got out there in my workout outfit, strapped my flags around my waist and thought "Yeah. I've got this." I can catch. I can throw a little. I can run. That's football, right?
And then practice started.
Honest to God, I couldn't even do half of the "warm up" stretches because they looked like something out of a Crossfitter's Guide to Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse. They were all spider monkeying around and raising legs to shoulders. The only way my legs will ever reach my shoulder is if I amputate one and have to carry it some place.
Things didn't improve once we started the actual drills.
I got hit in the nipples more times than a hooker in a dunk booth.
The very first time a pass came my way (from our head coach who, oh by the way PLAYED COLLEGE FOOTBALL), I thought my entire boob was going to swell up, jump off my chest and say "Eff this, I'm out of here."
It was like an hour long session of how many times can a football bounce off Law Momma. I think I caught the ball all of twice in a one hour practice.
The game is promo-ed as Blondes vs. Brunettes so it sounded fun. But if I was thinking it would just be a cute way to get a little exercise, raise a little money for charity, and maybe meet some new friends… I WAS WRONG. Some of these girls can ball. (And some of them need better sports bras…I'm looking at you, bouncy blonde.) And there are actual plays and stuff. Like we're some kind of athletes.
It's all very stressful. And will be played during halftime of a college football game here in Macon. With people watching.
I'm not quite sure what I got myself into with this….. BUT… if you'd like to donate to a worthy cause and support me making an ass out of myself, I'm happy to have the help! Click HERE to donate to my shame and I promise to name one of my (many) bruises in your honor.
The Truth Can Hurt
Posted on | August 25, 2014 | 1 Comment
When I first started this blog, J was just shy of five months old. He didn't speak. He didn't have verbalized thoughts and emotions. He didn't know or care what I wrote here about him and about our lives together.
On Friday, my little five month old turned five years old.
A whole hand.
A jazz hand, as Jana's boy said.
And at five, he cares entirely too much about what I write about him and say about him. He cares so much about what people think of him, how he is perceived, how he can make sure he isn't embarrassed. And I wish I could say that I have no idea where he got all of that, but I know it was passed down to him in the blood we share.
You guys… it breaks me. It cuts and shatters my heart that he cares so very, very much about such silly, silly things.
For his birthday, one of my co-workers gave him a Batman costume and he LOVES it. He put it on yesterday afternoon and came running in to where Banks and I were sitting to show it off. Unfortunately, I was just about to head to the grocery store and he really didn't want to take off the costume. So, I told him he could wear it.
Because OBVIOUSLY he could wear it.
It was awesome and adorable.
He happily climbed into the car and buckled in and we drove to Publix. When we got there, he happily got out of the car and proudly walked across the parking lot, dressed as Batman.
The first couple coming out of the store smiled at him and the guy said "Alright, yeah! Batman!"
And my son visibly crumbled.
The guy said nothing wrong but all of a sudden, J was fully aware of what he was wearing and that no one else was wearing it. It was like this stranger handed him the forbidden fruit and suddenly J believed there was something wrong with him… just the way he was.
We cut the trip short because he was on the verge of tears, asking me why I'd let him wear that out in public, why I'd let him be embarrassed like that.
And he's five.
As I tucked him back into his carseat and we headed home, I realized that my son is not just mine, he is also his. And what I choose to write about MY son, is also and always about HIM, too.
I will often be a source of embarrassment for my child without meaning to be. I will probably be a source of embarrassment for him because I'm full on trying to be.
But I will never let this space become an embarrassment for my son.
He's five…. not five months and from here on out, the words I say may be used against him, even when I don't mean them to be. I want to be real and honest and tell you about what we struggle with in my house… but it's also his house. And sometimes even when we wish it wouldn't…
Sometimes the truth hurts.
So there will be bouts of silence here while we struggle to come to grips with our new reality of reading and school and life with each other and Banks. There will be bouts of silence when I long to write about how we are struggling… but his life is now more than just mine to share… and it's up to him, not me, what face he chooses to show the world.
My Eyes Are Open
Posted on | August 14, 2014 | 4 Comments
This morning, my son made himself toast with butter for breakfast. He made it all by himself and my GOD I want to be thinking of that milestone and celebrating that milestone and being the mom who is so caught up in the amazing intricacies of my son's life that I can't be bothered with the world outside.
But I am bothered by the world outside.
And honestly, if you're not? If you're not bothered by the world outside the four walls of your space then maybe you and I should have a little talk.
Last week, the Leadership class that I'm a part of had a "Race Relations" day. We did a lot of listening about the history of racial tension in our own town and a lot of talking about things that maybe don't get talked about enough. Things like "Driving While Black." Things like the clash within the Black community over Rap and Hip Hop culture. Things like knowing people aren't somehow thinking less of you because your skin pigment is different than theirs.
At one point, one of the young black men in my class stood and asked an honest question. He asked how many of us, how many of us on the other side of the room… the white side of the room, hear a joke with the "n" word in it and laugh. And how many of us say to the joke teller it is wrong.
My gut reaction was one of denial. I NEVER laugh at those jokes, I announced, horrified that someone would ever do so. But as the week has passed, I've thought of the times some of the older generation in my family have said that word. I thought of the times I'd held my tongue because of the "respect your elders" that has been drilled into me. I thought about the times I'd turned a blind eye and blind ear to the racial comments, racist undertones, and just plain wrong assumptions that are made around me on a daily basis.
And I'd be lying if I said it didn't make me want to weep, not for myself… not for the Black community… but weep for the world I am handing to my son. A world where Ferguson, Missouri exists. A world where members of the White community immediately roll their eyes and say "We don't know the WHOLE story, though do we?" Should the WHOLE story matter, at least in this case? In the grand scheme of things, does it matter if words were exchanged or even if violence was exchanged, when the end result is an 18 year old on his knees with his hands raised, and a police officer still shooting him? Am I handing my son a world where my Black friends are scared to pull over when a police officer is behind them because they just don't know what he or she might do to them? Am I really sending him out into a world where White privilege is so prevalent, so overwhelming, that the White people don't notice it and the Black and Hispanic communities can't avoid it.
I want to focus on the fact that my son made himself toast this morning.
I want desperately to focus on the fact that he made that damn toast.
But what a disservice I would do to my heart, to my brothers and sisters in the Black community, to my brothers and sisters in Ferguson, Missouri and around the world who wake up every day knowing that THEY might be harmed for no reason… for being young… for being black… for being disrespectful or too respectful or maybe just for BEING. What a disservice I would be doing if I focused on toast, while the world around me weeps over or ignores another example of how far we still have to come.
Forty some years ago, a lone Black man stood at a podium and made a speech that should have changed the world. He stood and spoke words that should have stirred hearts for decades, for centuries even.
"But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition."
One hundred years. Will it be that long before another change comes? There is a shameful condition being dramatized right now… today… in Ferguson Missouri. In your town. Maybe even in your neighborhood. And it's been forty years since that speech was made.
It will STILL be here in forty more years, if we turn our eyes away from Ferguson, Missouri, from Trayvon Martin, from the immigrants in Texas, from the poverty and the abject humiliation that so many of our brothers and sisters face every day. We are all one, are we not? One nation, indivisible.
Indivisible. Not Invisible.
Seeing. Not blind.
Open your eyes.
And he's only five…
Posted on | August 13, 2014 | 1 Comment
I've been feeling sad lately… like there's something hovering just outside my line of sight that I can't put my finger on. Something haunting. Something overwhelming. Something that is too much to view all at once and so I find myself catching glimpses here and there of the all-consuming sadness of it.
Over the weekend, Banks and I talked about the sad, about my sad, and where it was coming from. I told him I didn't know, couldn't figure it out… and he smiled. Because it seems he knows me much better than I often know myself. I tried to tell him I had no idea what was going on with me, that I had no reason for the sad that weighed so heavy on me that each breath made me shudder with the sheer heaviness of breathing.
I tried to tell him I didn't know why.
But he knew.
Because next week my baby turns five. And I am devastatingly happy about it. I am devastatingly devastated by it.
For the better part of two weeks, I've found myself looking at old videos and pictures and reminiscing about when he said "Minjan turtles" instead of "ninja turtles." For the better part of two weeks, I've been knee deep in the sadness that comes with the realization that your last or only baby isn't nearly as baby as you'd like to think.
I don't know if there will be another child. I hope and pray there will be some day. I hope and pray that I will go through this sadness again, with another little boy or with a sweet-faced girl. I hope and pray… but I don't know. And this is just five. This is still small. This is only the beginning of the moments that will pass by in blinks and wide-eyed stares. This is only the start of the life that I will live as he grows and changes and learns.
I have been sad for several weeks and I didn't realize why until Banks laid a tender smile across my heart. I have been sad, I am sad… not because I do not want my son to grow up… but because I wonder what I will do, who I will care for, when he does.
It's Okay to Just Be Sad.
Posted on | August 12, 2014 | 2 Comments
There was a day (one of many), back in 1998, when I found myself curled in a ball on the floor of my townhouse bedroom, crying. If you had asked me why, I wouldn't have been able to tell you… though if you'd been there, I wouldn't have been crying.
That's the thing about depression, you know, it's "private." It's "shameful." It's for the weak and broken.
If you'd run into me in public, I would have been vibrant. I would have smiled and laughed and told you all the things you wanted to hear. I would have made you laugh. I would have made you laugh a lot. Because the harder I made you laugh, the less likely you'd think there was anything wrong with me. The more I brought out your smiles, the less likely you were to realize that I wasn't smiling. Even today, I prefer to make people laugh over being honest about what I'm feeling. I still prefer to deflect because it's still not okay to be sad. It's still only okay to be bright and cheerful and smiling.
And most people don't notice that we're only smiling on the outside, we, the people who entertain you.
When I heard the news about Robin Williams, I remembered that afternoon in 1998, when I found myself surrounded by tissues and bottles of pills and thoughts that it would all be so much easier if I could just stop pretending. It would be so much easier if I could admit that the past two years had been awful, had been beyond awful. I was so tired of making everyone laugh… so tired of entertaining and deflecting and putting on a show.
I just wanted to rest.
I just wanted to stop being everything everyone wanted me to be. I just wanted to stop being.
I just wanted to be sad.
But it's not okay to be sad, not in this world. Not in this culture. Being sad gets you rolled eyes and "snap out of it!' Being sad means people will tell you to "turn that smile upside down" and that "happiness is a choice." You hear "you have so much to live for!" and "But look at how good you have it!" But you don't hear the words you need… the "I understand, " the "I'm so sorry." Because happiness isn't a choice, any more than sadness is a choice. It just is. It's just something you are, deep in the bowels of your soul where you don't allow the world.
Deep inside me, there is a sadness. It's always been there.
And sometimes it rears it's head and I do not CHOOSE to acknowledge it. I do not CHOOSE to wallow in the sadness. I just am. Sad.
But I have learned that sadness is best borne with company. It is best kept manageable by expressing it and acknowledging it and saying "Today I am sad but that is today and maybe tomorrow will be better. Maybe." Sadness can not be borne alone. I learned in 1998 that I needed help, that I had to acknowledge to myself that I was struggling and then acknowledge it to those around me. Because sadness can't be pushed down for long. It will explode if you do not let yourself feel it and share the burden of your sad with someone you trust.
I imagine Robin Williams was sad sometimes, too.
I imagine Robin Williams got tired of always being funny, always being told to smile, always being asked to tell a joke.
I imagine that his sadness became too much to bear alone and I wish I could have known him, could have sat beside him and looked in his eyes and told him that I understood. I wish I could have told him that he didn't have to be funny or anything other than just Robin. Just Mr. Williams. Just sad.
Because it's okay to be sad.
It's not wrong.
It's not bad.
It's not something to be ashamed of.
It's just sad.
And we have to make it okay for people to acknowledge their sad or we will lose many more of our brightest "entertainers."

I have been fortunate in my life thus far, to be able to still pick up the phone and speak with mostly coherent grandmothers, both in their 90s. And I wish I could say that I do, in fact, pick up the phone and speak with them on a regular basis.
Because I should, you know?
But life starts spiraling and swirling around me and before I know it, weeks have gone by in a flash and I find I haven't spoken to either in so long that I barely remember the last time we talked. Weeks go by in a flash for me because I'm busy with work and J and, well… life. Weeks just go by so fast.
I remember the eight weeks I spent at home with my new son; those slow, aching weeks of exhaustion and quiet and the almost mindless ticking of the wall clock against the roar of my head. Those days went by so slowly… each minute an agonizing wait for sleep or company or anything to break the monotony of my zombie-like state. And when I remember those days, alone in my house with no one to speak to me about the person I was, the woman I was before the gurgling and kicking baby in my arms… I remember how breathtakingly sad it often felt.
I felt so very alone, there in my house without a reminder of the life I once lived.
And for me, I knew my lonely was short-lived. I knew that at any moment my break from my life would expire and I would tearfully leave my son with someone else as I walked back into my life and the moments of the day would resume their whirl and tumble. I knew my lonely was short-lived.
When I think of my grandmothers, slowly rising from their beds to make their way to the chair where they will spend their day, I ache with shared loneliness. How do they spend their moments? How do their minutes pass? How often do they jump when the phone rings, hoping beyond hope that it's a familiar voice and not a telemarketer or a political ad? I imagine their days move slowly, with little to do but wait for the phone calls… the ones I haven't made in far too long. I imagine they wonder if they'll ever recover from this… if they'll wake up one morning with a spring in their step and find that they are just Doris, just Audrey… no longer Grandma or Granny or Great anything.
I wonder.
Today I talked to my mother for a long while about the decline of my grandmother. I talked to my mother about my Granny… or was it Audrey? I wonder if they're the same person or if deep down my granny knows she's someone else… maybe someone better; maybe just someone different. I wonder who she is in her mind… if it's the same person she sees in her mirror. I talked to my mother, feeling the shame roll over me as I realized how long it's been since I spoke with my grandmother. With either of my grandmothers.
Because my life goes on, you know. My life whirls by in made memories and laughter. But her life is paused… waiting for me to call. Waiting for me to share mine with her, to bring laughter or smiles or anything other than the slow tick of the wall clock, marking the minutes of this day she now calls life, these minutes that painstakingly, slowly pass her by.

In a cyclical turn of events, one of my co-workers has just returned from maternity leave this morning. As I watched her hold back tears as she unpacked a box of framed pictures, I couldn't help but remember when my own maternity leave was over and I found myself robotically re-entering the work force while my child spent time away from me for the first time.
I say cyclical, because just this weekend it occurred to me how old my son is now, with his lanky legs and messy hair. He spends much of his time away from me now, learning math and science and English and… well… life. He is tall and gangly and full of attitude and honestly, he is as far removed from the baby he once was as I ever thought he'd be… though hopefully not as far as he will one day be.
As my co-worker muddled through her last weekend at home with her sweet baby boy, I muddled through a weekend of my own, entering into uncharted territory with J. At nearly five, he is desperate to read, spending every waking minute (that he isn't watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) staring longingly at words on a page. He is so desperate to read.
And you guys… he is getting there. Each sounded out syllable and carefully twisted sound is coming faster now, as he learns that sometimes the "a" is "ah" and sometimes the "a" is "ay." I feel so proud even as each word moves him farther away from the safety of babyhood, from the safety of… well… me. Soon, he won't want to snuggle up with me as I read to him. Soon, he won't want to snuggle up with me at all, opting instead for a flashlight and book the way I did as a child. Soon, I hope, he will be whisked away into the wonderful world of books, where everything is magical and there is no need for me.
Parenting is such a power struggle between what you want for yourself and what you want for your child. Because, for me… I want my son. I want him to need me as much as I need him. But for my son, I want the opposite. For my son, I want freedom and a life well outside my arms. I want him to experience his own life, his own heart… and it feels like reading is just the first step on a long path of moving away.
So I hugged my co-worker this morning as she wiped away stray tears. I hugged her because I understand that longing… that overpowering need to be near the person you love most. I understand feeling that so much of your heart is somewhere else, experiencing something else… being someone else. And it is painful and beautiful all at the same time. I hugged her because she is suddenly the closest thing to my own experience, my own desire to keep my son small and with me, even as I yearn to watch him spread his wings and fly.
So though my heart longs to have him near, like my co-worker, I will satisfy myself with an office, a lifetime, full of pictures. Because more than anything, I want my son to be free. And reading has always been my own freedom… I hope it will one day be his as well.

Property rights are the basis of liberty.The denial of property rights means that all people are slaves to the government, lacking even capacity to assert the right to control their own bodies.Governments claiming the right to all assets are totalitarian governments.

Absolutely correct, #1. Arguably, any government claiming authority that trumps property rights in any way is a nascent totalitarian government.One example is our homes. We don´t own them or the land they sit on even after we´ve paid our mortgage. We must all still pay property taxes and we risk losing our homes and the land they sit on if we fail to do so. Allodial titles are, sadly, a thing of the past.A community tax can and should be levied to pay for roads, schools, etc. in lieu of a property tax that carries a perpetual lien against land we think belongs to us.

There are only two indicators to predict the wealth of a nation. Rule of law and property rights. Sadly, we in America seem to have less and less of each.

We get the government we deserve. We prefer security to freedom as we go soft. Prosperity ends up being a cancer.

[QUOTE=bullitt929;4465523]We'll never know, but I think Belichick was gone in any event, because of the uncertainty of Hess and the sale of the team. Kraft offered greater security. Can't bash Belichick for that, even though a lot of people do. Personally, I'm not a Belichick fan because of the cold manner in which he runs the team and the patronizing demeanor that he generally displays. Rex, on the other hand, is disliked by many because of his brash demeanor, almost the polar opposite of Belichick. This chasm of a personality difference further fuels the Patriot/Jet rivalry. Good for the league, good for the media, and good for the fans. It's also great fun to butt heads with Pats fans on this board, and I'm really glad you guys are around.[/QUOTE]
Like hell I can't! That reason is total bullcrap and you know it. Kraft swooped in with a chance to get back at Parcells and offered him total control (what he wouldn't give Parcells thus him leaving them in the first place) behind the Jets back. Bellichick was the coach twice and wasn't the first choice either time. He just got sick of Parcells and got a better deal with the total control he thought he was promised in New York. At that time he didn't exactly have a better track record of winning than Parcells so the Jets didn't trust him. Thing is he acts like he never coached the Jets at any time. His NFL story completely omits any time with the Jets. He hates the JETS and the fans will never forgive him. If he went outside of the AFC east maybe but him screwing the Jets at every turn and sticking their noses in it by running up the score every chance he gets makes the hate stronger. He can't win forever.

Has the 1965 Immigration Act proved to be a good thing or bad thing for America, and has the recent unprecedented flood of immigrants (both legal and illegal) been an overall good thing or bad thing for America? Please fully explain your answer and include economical, cultural, and quality-of-life issues in 25 words or less (just kidding take all the words you want). Please include, if you would, your opinion of the axioms "All cultures are equal" and "Diversity is our (America's) strength."
Punk Rock Fag!
Dear Joto Gabacho:
Better yet, here's a one-word answer: "Yes." No stats, as you'll find numbers to support your position, to which I'll retort with obscure governmental reports, and we'll do our do-si-do until the vacascome home. Sorry, Punk Rock Fag!, but the Mexican is an open-borders, pro-amnesty kind of vato, the type that thinks any sucker willing to cross deserts and rivers or crawl through sewers for the chance of a better life deserves a shot at citizenship (provided they contribute to los Estados Unidos, don't beat their wives, and not feed children Cheetos Flamin' Hot).
That's why I'm thrilled Congress is mulling amnesty for millions. In all fairness, I'm completamente biased on the issue you'll get the straight dope on all other Mexican questions except this one. Blame my papi for the intellectual inconsistency: He came to this country in the trunk of a Chevy (pronounced with a hard "ch" sound, of course) in 1968 as a 17-year-old dirt farmer with a fourth-grade education. Lorenzo Arellano eventually ended his illegal days (though not because of the 1986 amnesty that would've been his friends) and is now a proud, truck-driving citizen who doesn't speak much English, votes absentee in every election and thinks the Guatemalan hordes will ruin this country.
Why wouldn't we want more Lorenzos? If he's not proof of a postmodern American, I don't know what is.
Is it true that there are a lot more Mexicans hooking up with East Indians now? I know a few mixed Mexican-Indian couples and I've heard that in some parts of the country, there are communities full of Mexican Hindus (products of Mexican-East Indian intermarriage). Is it true that this is a rising trend? If so, do you have any advice for young Indian-Americans interested in attracting Mexican girls or guys?
El Otro Tipo de Indio
Dear Other Type of Indian:
I try not to answer questions about interethnic amor (that's more of a Dan Savage thing), but I'll run yours because it allows me to plug Making Ethnic Choices: California's Punjabi Mexican Americans. This fascinating 1994 ethnography by University of California-Irvine anthropology professor Karen Leonard studies Mexican women in the United States who married men from the Punjab region of what's now India and Pakistan during the first half of the 20th century. There are muchos similarities between Mexican and Punjabi cultures a love of flatbreads (tortillas and rotis), spicy cuisine and loud, drum-based music (banda and bhangra, respectively) but Leonard concludes that American immigration policies barring most Asian women from entering this country inspired many of the unions, and that both Mexican and Indian-American communities (never mind the gabachos) discriminated against these families.
Modern-day Mexican-East Indian couples can expect the same resistance from their kin, but I urge both cultures to unite under the beauty of our shared swarthy skins and hatred of American foreign policy. But a warning to East Indian suitors whether you're Muslim, Sikh, Hindu or Jain, whether your family is from Gujarat or Mumbai, Mexicans will call you "hindú."

I found this relevant to the discussion
why not just fix matchmaking to compose teams by language?
Several facts that you're kind of overlooking here, champs:
1. Mexico is part of North America.
2. Mexico's official language is Spanish. English is not even recognized as a language.
If you did not know this, you have my formal recommendation that you retake the 4th grade.
The servers are for North America, Mexico is part of that; Mexicans have every right to speak their national language, stop being stupid and blaming Mexicans for it.
Edit: hey, idiots, Central America is part of North America.
north america= United states, Canada and Mexico
official main language:
u.s: english
canada: english and french
mexico: spanish
No. North America is the entire Northern subcontinent of the Americas.
That means the entirety of Central America (the "tail" down to South America), the Caribbean, and Greenland.
Did you guys seriously think North America is made up of just the 3 countries in NAFTA?

About Mark Grundtisch
Myself, my wife Liz and our 2 daughters live in Buffalo, NY. We first came to Hilton Head when our first daughter was just a baby in the late 90's and immediately knew that this was a special place. We consider ourselves very fortunate to call this our 'part time home'.
Mark Grundtisch purchased this villa in 2011
Why Mark Grundtisch chose Shipyard
Our family fell in love with Hilton Head the first time we visited. There is some much to see and do on Hilton Head and in the surrounding areas. It truly feels like a home away from home. It is a unique place where you can be a 'million miles away' from everything in the afternoon and then dining in a 1st quality restaurant in the evening. It truly is the best of both worlds. Shipyard Plantation and Beachwalk is the perfect spot to get away. So close to the beautiful ocean and the expansive beach and if you like riding bikes (which we do !) you are in heaven.
A place for couples, families and extended families...We sincerely hope the Island never changes its character !
Guestbook comments from the owner
We had a great time during our stay at your beautiful condo in Beachwalk May 5th to May 13th. The condo was very well equipped, very tastefully furnished with high end appliances. Hilton Head's weather didn't disappoint either. It was sunny and mid to upper 80s all week. We enjoyed the deck and made use of the grill a couple evenings. The close proximity to the beach is definitely a plus. We had our youngest daughter and her husband with us. Our son-in-law loves to fish and it was easy for him to walk down to the beach in the evening. We did a fishing charter, Top Shot with Captain Jay Prescott, from Palmetto Bay Marina. We recommend and would do it again. We had a great time. Thanks

The State Department recently released its regular report of human rights abuses around the world and, as expected, listed China as one of the worst offenders. But Beijing fired back with its own report and a long list U.S. violations, including everything from disregard for civilian casualties to treating racial minorities as an underclass.
"Relying on its strong military power, the United States has trespassed on the sovereignty of other countries and violated human rights in other countries," Xinhua quoted the document as saying, released by the State Council, or cabinet.
It cited foreign media reports in detailing the number of civilian deaths in Iraq.
"The document says the United States has a flagrant record of violating the Geneva Convention in systematically abusing prisoners during the Iraqi war and the war in Afghanistan," Xinhua said.

I remember Clarks Desert boots from 30 years ago and how comfortable they were. Nothing has changed, they're as comfy as ever. They felt a little tight out of the box but after a day of wear they have softened and now feel like a part of me. Thinking of ordering a pair of the ankle boots in the classic Wolf colour.

Executive director, International Disaster Volunteers from 2008
Andy Chaggar co-founded International Disaster Volunteers (IDV) in 2008.
He originally qualified as an Electronic Engineer and worked for five years as a semiconductor designer in Munich, Germany. However, in 2004 he was seriously injured and bereaved in the South-East Asian tsunami.
Following his recovery he began his journey as a disaster response volunteer. Before founding IDV he managed house reconstruction in Thailand, obtained a Masters degree in International Development and implemented sanitation projects in Peru.
In 2010 he was named a winner of the Vodafone Foundation's World of Difference International Programme which enabled him to manage IDV's operations in Haiti. In 2012 he was named as a winner of the Vodafone Foundation's Grahame Maher award which allowed him to launch IDV's second deployment of volunteers in the Philippines.
