Me: My stoicism is nationally renowned.
Lola: Yah. What nation would that be?

Whenever strangers stop me from taking their pictures, I always assume it’s because they’re wanted so I covertly take their pictures anyway.

I tried to log on to facebook to change my mood to glum. But, the site was down because they were upgrading.
My mood, now glummer, I remembered I had a blog.
And as I logged in, and posted about Joel Siegel, a fellow cancer, dying of cancer a week before his birthday, making me yet glummer still. I kept getting notifications of new comments. At first I thought they were spam, but no!

Somewhere, 3000 miles away, Gertie is brightening my day by commenting on pretty much all my posts from the past week.

So now my mood is officially: Not as glum.

I do so love these intertubes.

Why do you always forget that you are a baaaaaaad judge of character? WHY???

Siegel, who got his start at the network by working for New York affiliate WABC-TV, had battled colon cancer, the station said.

“Joel was an important part of ABC News and we will miss him,” ABC News President David Westin said in a statement. “He was a brilliant reviewer and a great reporter. But much more, he was our dear friend and colleague. Our thoughts and prayers are with Joel’s family.”

His birthday would have been next Saturday.

State prison inmates, particularly blacks, are living longer on average than people on the outside, the government said Sunday.

For black inmates, the rate was 57 percent lower than among the overall black population - 206 versus 484. But white and Hispanic prisoners both had death rates slightly above their counterparts in the overall population.

Me: It’s bad enough you guys killed God.
Fisch: No, no. Jesus died for your sins.
