Sometimes you bring a tear to my eye and I just want to give you a hug. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who sees this stuff.

After watching the twitter stream, that's pretty spot on.

I thought that it was fake at first, but there are a few tweets from several months ago. Nothing useful or interesting but the time stamps would indicate that they've been around for a while.
Real or a hack, I'm not sure why it would be surprising if he did. It's not like twitter or computers are some resource reserved only for some high priesthood.

M A V I C is getting all misty and noodle-soft on us. I just re-arranged the furniture so he can have a fainting couch, for when he gets emotional.

Don't forget to lengthen the legs to a few feet so he can look down on us commoners from above.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I'm more than broke this holiday season. When most doctors hear about the birth of my kid (he's 6mo old today) they are surprised both my wife and the kid made it. After a hospital transfer, the doctors at the second place were quite astonished my wife and kid were still stable... they had already been planning for that not to be the case. So I ended up pretty much paying for two births and extra emergency treatment. The hospitals look at it like there were two births since they went through all the work, but of course the insurance co is like "there's only one baby." All I'm getting this holiday season are more bills. I can't believe they have a year to send out all the bills.

This story is new to me, hope my noodle joke wasn't in poor taste. I vote we sell off the Fainting Couch, and start up a M A V I C bill-slaying fund.

I hadn't mentioned it here before. This holiday will be one focusing on what's important - that my wife and son are here, alive and well.
