life is what you can get away with

sidebar of the people

As you get older, you realize that you have different kinds of friends; friends from work, college, childhood, former romances, and family. These classifications describe division, not quality. In quality, there are only two measures: trust and duration. Kirk is one of my oldest friends, and I trust him implicitly. He has supported Leslee and me through labor and loss.

There are very few things I can say to adequately thank him. I can only hope that I have the opportunity to be as dependable and generous to him as he has been to me and mine.

Thanks Kirks!

Not to sound too much like I'm trying for my martyr card, but there's that saying "friends help friends move, real friends help friends move bodies." I'd prefer to think of that second part as "real friends help friends spend whole weekends doing the Herculean tasks involved in going over a house full of the antique-ish knick knacks (and lead paint) of a lovely old lady who'd lived there for decades while smoking quite a bit, and working towards the goal of having it be a fit place to raise a one year old child." but that really, really doesn't scan.

Politics of the Moment
I really liked this Slate piece on which presidential candidate is which stock?... John Edwards as Krispy Kreme is especially clever.

Toys of the Moment
--Chris Deck's MINI Star Wars models are just small and brilliant and lovely.


Quote of the Moment
"The reason I wear pajamas all the time is along the way I discovered I could get away with it."
Hugh Hefner, on NPR this morning.
Life made a little more sense when I realized that he wasn't the same guy as Howard Hughes, despite the alliteration.
