Wow. Unbelievable blog I just discovered. And this post felt like a hard punch to the soul.

RK, you and I seem to be in "great minds think alike" mode today. I just posted a link from the same blog here!

I love that blog. I read it every day, and I comment on a lot of his posts. That post brought tears to my eyes when I saw it originally, and again just now. A lot of his posts do, actually. He just has a way of commenting on situations that others might overlook as a small part of a long day, and making them the reader's whole world for as long as it takes to read a post.

An excellent blog post, and an excellent point. That is one word that should be stricken from modern slang.

Good luck with that. It's not just young people who do it. My 60something year old grandfather throws the R word around a lot. I had never heard someone that much older than me say it before, but it does happen.

Wow, I wish I wrote that well.

The definition of "retard" is to hinder or to hold someone back. I think your life is about to become retarded. -- Grissom, CSI





That. Is. All.

Very poignant.
