It's the hardest thing I've ever done.

Ugh, yes, I am sure. Right now Monsieur Roux is unable to get to his feet without some assistance, so there is no greeting at the door. I am happy with a lifting of the head and an acknowledgement from his eyes or even better a wagged tail. The status depends on the diagnosis of the latest bloodwork. Cushings disease, if the medicinally treatable kind (85% of cases) would be the preferred affliction and would offer hope of some recovery.

You owe it to them to help them when the time comes (duh); it's just scary making the decision as to when that is. But they're counting on you for it.

I'm so sorry - it's such a hard thing to go through.

[sniff 2] A month ago I commented that I would not be able to see Marley and Me as I know its sort of the ghost of christmas future, but I wasn;t thinking it would be this year. Ugh.

Both Tim Tebow or Colt McCoy coming up in the draft in two years. If I were the GM of a horribly bad team with no current quarterback prospects, I'm not quite sure I'd want to improve much next year if I could get my hands on one of them the following year.

Pretty much everyone in my extended family is avoiding that movie like the plague. Either too recent memories or a (hopefully distant) future no one wants to look too closely at.

Give the boy a scratch for me and tell him to feel better soon.

I certainly wouldn't tank it for a shot at Tebow. And I would certainly hope no GM is planning to continue to suck on the off chance they get are lucky enough to draft in the right spot and the guy they pick works out (although some of them are probably dumb enough to try).

Apropos of Nothing, I am not a big fan of avatar changes (unless frequent changes are part of the charm of the poster a la Hank), but your new one seems to work for you.

One question, though -- is your firm aware that you are using your headshot from their fancy-schmancy home page as an avatar?

While I appreciate your kind words, know that this avatar switch is merely a temporary change, made in honor of the Gaplet's current onstage role.

FWIW, my law firm headshot does look similar to this, I acknowledge, though I try not wear the lederhosen at work.

Even Matt Millen eventually got fired for trying that strategy.

Egad. I seem to have mistaken Kurt for Jem. (The color should have made me realize my goof.) Apologies.

Probably a gut idea.
