    Sorry for your loss. I know how much you loved her.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    <Moe Szslak holding phone> "Amanda Huggenkiss?? I'm looking for Amanda Huggenkiss !!" <Barney Gumble> "Don't look at ME !!"

    Van Page Brown @HoosierDaddy, In Memoriam

    One of the genuinely good ones. He will be missed. Sincere condolences to his family.

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Sold my Civic w/ 5 speed manual before we moved in 2019 and I really miss shifting. Especially on those rare (out here) ice and snow days. I have more control with a manual when things are slippery.

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Hydrate, son. Best way to fight it. And steer clear of any "hair of the dog" inclinations. That'll only defeat the purpose of drinking water.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Catholic parochial schools exposed me to the Ginn & Co. "Faith and Freedom" series. The unabashed attempts at indoctrination were obvious: one I remember in particular were in a story about a French colonial girl that was always referencing the "savage Iroquois." Later realized that this had...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    When we moved from the Midwest to the PNW three years ago I trimmed my library considerably. Almost 2/3 of it ended up at Goodwill, likely before ending up in a landfill. Most of what got ditched were old textbooks, casebooks, hornbooks and law reporter sets. Either outdated or case opinions...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    A tough call, but I'd say that if there ever was a "Wise Beyond Their Years" contest between Annie and Kayo, the younger Kayo would give Annie a run for her money. Kayo, in my opinion, is allowed the luxury of actually being a kid more than Annie. It isn't much of a home- but he has a home...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Shadow himself seems to be relegated to Sunday gag lines. Not sure that he's capable of much beyond comic relief in the grand scheme, but it actually might be funnier watching him go through Army basic training than Harold. His lack of impulse control could be a drill sergeant's dream/ nightmare.

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Seems like we go for many months without any update on Lillums (or her battle axe mom, Lena). In the meantime, for some reason Harold always draws these drop- dead gorgeous women. Him getting a 1-A notice would be, as previously noted, such a delicious turn of fate.

    Paul Douglas: I'd imagine that he'd be one of your heroes, Lizzie.

    When I grow up I'm going to be a.....................

    Since I knew at an early age that I could never grow up to become a steam locomotive engineer, the default wish was to become a trial lawyer. I was four, I think, the first time that my grandfather took me to court to watch a trial. (Had he applied himself I have no doubt that he could have...

    Did I miss something? No Harold Teen today?

    Annie must be an embryonic incarnation of one of those "School of Hard Knocks, University of Life" types we hear so much about.

    Situation Hopeless But Not Serious when Shadow Smart is the voice of reason in the room. Especially regarding relationships with women.

    Your Most Disturbing Realizations

    The straw that broke it with my sister was when (six years ago) she told my wife that (after our marriage of over three decades) that she only "put up" with her because she loved me. I don't need or want that kind of "love." From anyone. The break was bound to come sooner or later. She & her...

    You know you are getting old when:

    My 50th reunion from high (preparatory) school is this month. Would have liked to attend, but it's a cross country flight, at least 3 nights hotel, a car rental... and a wife who hates "trying to relive old times" events. They hold them every 5 years as large multi- class "hooray for everybody"...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    He "fell during police questioning." That always arouses suspicion, especially when this poor fool ends up dying as result of said "fall." I looked up the backstory. It seems that he was taken into custody after he allegedly assaulted a cop who responded to the scene. Since part of the story...

    "You just let him drown?" Sure hope so. Colonel Annie ought to play that for at least an Army Commendation Medal.
