Connor's prom photo turned out pretty well considering he was cold-sweat-shaking-throwing-up sick. They look lovely

A great raconteur passed today. He was part of the original Outlaws of Comedy with Bill Hicks and Sam Kinison. I was fortunate enough to see his last show with +Dorian McCann here in Houston in January. He killed. He was sick and undergoing cancer treatment and he was brilliant. .

Thanks to Dorian, I have this stuck in my head and have now made it my ringtone. 

We are the source of healing and happiness. Our generosity and concern pacify every negative situation. As we send out kindness, we grow accustomed to being strong and kind. In this way, our positive feelings are constantly renewed and can never be exhausted.

Perhaps you know the story about the man who arrived in heaven and when asked by God where he wanted to go replied that he wanted to see both heaven and hell. First, he went to hell. There was a large table with all the inhabitants of hell sitting around it. The center of the table was full of delicious food. Each person had two very long chopsticks. They could reach the food but they could not get it into their mouths because their chopsticks were too long. They were miserable. No one was eating and everyone went hungry. Next he was taken to visit heaven. All the inhabitants of heaven were also sitting around a big table full of delicious food but they were happy. They too had very long chopsticks but they were eating and enjoying themselves. They used the chopsticks to feed each other across the table. The people in heaven had discovered that it was in their interest to collaborate unselfishly.(p.69)

(I don't think I have yet seen it, but I am sure it exists) If a vegetarian or a vegan comments on your food posts with something about how much better their vegan option would be, that would be a real douchebag move.

People should keep that in mind when they comment on veg or vegan people's food posts with "That would be better with charred animal flesh". Yes, you eat meat. That is fine. You are also a douchebag. That is not. Just stop being that asshole.

Going to need to check with Connor and see if this is accurate. **snort**

*I might be exaggerating.
