It's been an hour and they haven't kicked in yet.

One of the nice bits about being 2 to 3 decades younger than most of the pro-life religious conservatives is the thought that I'll be alive long enough to leave a portion of my estate to funding an abortion clinic named in their honor.

I like to think that with a large enough endowment, the clinic would grow to prominence and that by association, the names of those politicians would in time be associated with something that appalled them.

I'm thinking about it right now.
Thinking. Smiling.

The blamehound notion remained as a conversational shared reference for a decade until I got my dog.

Only my dog is a blamehound in the sense that he detects them and points his muzzle toward the person who farted in an accusatory and startled fashion.

My dog fartles easily.

My brother once told me that he hadn't farted even once since he got a dog. We laughed at the idea of a blamehound, a special breed bred with fart-blame absorption characteristics as a guiding principle.

When someone from an organization that seeks to "evangelize, equip and empower the next generation of Christlike men" says "The only people I want to see shot are the bad guys" I can't be the only person wondering if, in his eyes, I'll be one of them.

Stop making plans.
Start living the rest of the only existence the evidence suggests we'll experience.

Tolerate less shit at work. You owe zero to the arseholes of this world.
Hug your loved ones more and cherish your time with them. Tomorrow is promised to none of us.

I'm putting down my phone now.
Why not do the same for a few hours?
