  1. Open thread says 10/23 but posted on 10/24.
    Hum, well Instapundit didn’t have OT last night either. What is going on.

  2. SHIREHOME, timeslip. This timeline is fraying and ripping apart. I am sitting in a storm waiting for power to go out without me having backup power for the first time in 20 years. Because of ants. Ants. ? I am waiting for a new $1200 controller to arrive because of ants. Tiny, tiny ants.

  3. Neo, you are never behind the times. If anything, you are often ahead of the curve.

    Just finally listened to the song. Very bitter sweet for me. Things are still very raw.

  4. SHIREHOME:

    I don’t know if this is comforting or not, but I think it usually takes a long time, but the sharpness of the loss does fade although there is always some grief.

  5. Thanks. I know that. Time does heal.
    I am leaving next Tue for a Viking River Cruise, one that we were going to take last Ap, until life intruded.

  6. Chases Eagles,

    Tiny little ants found the box covering my sprinkler system’s pressure switch the ideal place to store and nurture their eggs. Ant eggs are not good conductors of electricity. Nearly lost my entire lawn.

  7. Apparently, Neo decided that I needed to hear the message of The One Who Knows tonight, and cry.

    Our son is getting married next year, he’s 32. We also have a married daughter, and a grandson and a granddaughter. Our kids have never been estranged and in fact, our daughter grows closer every year. But our son…as his mother, I have of course always seen and supported the necessity of him finding his own path and literally thank God constantly for the blessing of children, and for their successful lives. But I never anticipated how different it is with a son, and have been a little melancholy lately, realizing that he’s never going to be close the way that we used to be.
    My love for him is being proved in the letting go.
