My favorite thing to do...

...is give hearts to people I dis...agree with. It's like a secret mental hug and I don't have to swallow my pride.

This young man gives me hope.

Years ago, I was a financial donor to a Chicago-based graffiti artist group. I don't remember the name. They helped kids get off the street, changed their lives, etc. Some truly great artists. I was struck by how often these young people had such positive outlooks, despite the rough lives they had. Inspirational.

I 'friended' Gamma Galleries after he painted the Sandy Hook Tribute Wall. The painting took my breath away. A more powerful message than any news story. Anyway, I get these FB updates from GG that often make me look at the day in a better light. Whether or not you like this young man's work, he's got one helluva soul.

My coworker just assaulted my brain...

...with more than 5 minutes of yammering about the phlegm that he has been expelling over the weekend. Jesus.

Some people can't grasp the blank stare of bewilderment.

Had to share this with you people. I knew you'd understand and comfort me.

"Hug me, you sucky awesome party"

That headline is one of the many reasons I have an enormous, secret crush on Josh Marshall. It's okay, I'm married and have never felt the urge to stalk anyone.

It's too short to post an excerpt. It's one of Josh's train of thought posts.
