April 16, 201313 yr I read in this morning's paper (a physical one that was left behind at the Peter Pan Diner) that we have won a Pulitzer prize. Thus, we relinquish our crown as the Susan Lucci of newspapers!It was for a story that I had exactly nothing to do with, but it was one of the coolest stories ever. So it's all good. Congratulations are in order for Sally Kestin and John Maines! Edited April 16, 201313 yr by CarlSeibert
April 16, 201313 yr Congrats to the writers and the paper, Carl ... does this mean you all get t wear those colorful, flower printed skirts, or is this some other Purlitzer?
April 16, 201313 yr A-line? A-train? THAT Pulitzer is no longer with us, so no matter how cute the boss would look in bright colors..... Maines doesn't write, actually. He works with databases. This was the story where we measured the distance between Turnpike toll booths, worked our way back through Sunpass records, and documented that a whole bunch of cops were in the habit of driving 100 to 120 MPH in their police cars when they were off-duty. Maines crunched the data. Don't actually know who came up with the idea, which was truly inspired.
April 16, 201313 yr Great idea for a story, Carl, and good execution of data mining. Sorry you don't get to wear the dress.
April 16, 201313 yr Got the ECP prototype. It is very nice indeed! Not to mention how great it looks with the Electrocompaniet. Sweet!
April 16, 201313 yr Went to couple more museums. As we expected, the National Museum of Natural History was a big hit with our daughter - she loves dinosaurs.
April 17, 201313 yr Got the ECP prototype. It is very nice indeed! Indeed awesome Shelly. I second your stack, with an ECP-inspired one of my own. Ryan's old modded Adcom GCD-750 driving the DSHA-1. Actually glad I got the standard amp, as the custom mods on the Adcom result in lower output. But the music is oh-so-SWEET!
April 17, 201313 yr Found (smelled) a dead opposum under the deck in the back yard and Tim removed it. Fuck, it smelled awful! I could smell it in the house. Nice setup Todd! Edited April 17, 201313 yr by shellylh

Congratulations are in order for Sally Kestin and John Maines! Cool. As for me, I worked out this morning, did the general job, then covered an evening group for a co-worker where I witnessed a mother telling her son (the son is the one in treatment) that if she had to give up alcohol to have a relationship with her son, she'd choose the booze. She didn't even blink. I've worked in this field for 14 years, have heard most everything, and rarely have a personal reaction, but she was so fucking cold and cruel, I was almost willing to lose my job to just punch her out. I'm still pissed.
April 17, 201313 yr I don't know how you do your job and stay sane, Vicki. Edited April 17, 201313 yr by Salt Peanuts
April 17, 201313 yr Yeah, I was reminded today that my mom said an awful lot of mean things. My security question on an ancient account I was trying to access was, "Why do you hate your mother?" :\ I couldn't remember.
April 17, 201313 yr Vicki, just awful. I've heard some awful things parents have said and done to their kids, and that's up there ... and to see it happening live and in person ... ugh!
April 17, 201313 yr Cool.

I'm still pissed. My god.
April 17, 201313 yr I'm surprised that she showed up at all. Maybe it was another chance to do some more hurt. (
April 17, 201313 yr Dang, that's terrible. In other news, there are four B-25s and some other WWII fighters flying around outside right now and the sound is glorious.
