1. Wow. You remain in our prayers.

   1. Same here. Is she getting a fever again?

      1. Not a bad one, but the spots came back as bad or worse than the first time. She came home from her second day back at school covered in them. Surprise!

         1. It's not just a suburb of Phoenix!

   2. Dido this.

2. 2015 Guest DJs unveiled!!

3. I often feel guilty that we're still renting an apartment, and my kids don't have their own yard to play in, and sometimes their being children gets a little too loud for the neighbors, and stuff like that. But then when I wake up and the furnace has stopped working, it's kind of nice to just make a call and know I won't be out any money to have it taken care of.

   1. One of the great advantages to my job is living in a parsonage. I have a nice house and I'm not responsible for maintaining it.

4. This image (from here) seems to fit the ethos around here:
   

   1. I'd buy the hell out of the 'figuratively' one.

      1. literally?

         1. I typed that out originally.

   2. I'd have to Sharpie in a comma on the bottom right one.

      Or would I?

      1. I would.

      2. Chicago says you wouldn't have to.

         Use commas with too only when you want to emphasize an abrupt change of thought:

         He didn’t know at first what hit him, but then, too, he hadn’t ever walked in a field strewn with garden rakes.

         In most other cases, commas with this short adverb are unnecessary (an exception being sentences that begin with too—in the sense of also—a construction some writers would avoid as being too awkward).

5. I learned today that Nick Punto has only been hit by a pitch three times in his career.

   That doesn't sound very gritty.

   1. That is surprising. Just looked it up and his last HBP came in 2010.

   2. That's about as many times as he's been thrown out overrunning bases in post season games.

      1. Seems like he's been thrown out more.

      2. Where were the head first slides when we needed them?

         1. At first base, of course, where you're allowed to overrun the base.

6. Cool images of Frozen Minnehaha Falls.

7. An interesting piece on what is a "craft" brewery? (and what is not)

   1. They should have revised the definition to include "except Minhas, because ugh."

8. I don't think this has been posted here, but the Parks and Recreation law firm has gained a few new partners.

   1. I was laughing so hard at

      Actual Spoiler	SelectShow
      Amy Poehler's Megan Mullally impression. Just amazing. I wonder how hard it was for Nick Offerman (the real life Mr. Mullally) to keep a straight face during that scene.

      1. Linds and I turned to each other and said the same thing.

         Actual Spoiler	SelectShow
         Uncanny.

   2. I laughed pretty hard at that. I didnt want to spoil anything last night.

9. I don't think we have any citizens in the area of this restaurant, but if anyone ever is, please check it out for me. The owners are great friends of ours, and today was a pretty big day for them.

   1. Well, we do have citizen brothers in the area. I'll pass it along.

      1. friends o' citizens here, and dido'd.

         1. Awesome. I hope to hear back good things.

            They sold out today, which is really cool to see. .

   2. I had lamb ribs in KC and they are awesome!

      1. I've done lamb riblets (breast) on the grill a few times. Awesome and relatively inexpensive. Well, relative to lamb chops, anyway.
