But that response was awesome! Almost made me cry when she talked about her father.

Good Christ, I knew about the weird ear hair and nose hair and other weird shit that comes with age, but this increased sensitivity to stories is for the birds.

But I know it's coming. The whole easy to cry thing though. I usually don't cry. I get that almost cry, giant, uncomfortable, painful rock in the throat. And then two tears that makes my nose run for ten minutes. Apparently, I'm still holding on to my machismo.

Dance and age. Like a fine wine or (my favorite) a 15 or 20-year old, single malt Scotch.

Between temperatures in the single digits, power outages, and frozen water pipes (for THREE effing days), I'm a little off my game.

Thank god for the Glenmorangie. It's the only think keeping me sane.

I'll get on it.

20.4 million? Try 46.8 million.

Abrams did okay, but still well below those numbers.(She did do slightly better than Trump on MSNBC, but much worse on Fox News -no surprise there.
