Y'all just jealous
Idling away the day looking through my sitemeter, I notice that somebody recently arrived here by googling "jealous of broadmoor neighborhood".
Which says volumes about life in the city right now.
And which reminds me of a story my friend Jeff told me, from back when his partner used to work in the psych ward at San Francisco General. For a long time they had a patient on the ward, a very large black woman who was also very very crazy, who was pregnant with bats. And you couldn't tell the woman anything without her waving her hands and saying, "Y'all just jealous of my BATS!"
A few months later, I asked Jeff how the bat lady was doing, and he said, "Oh, she gave birth to the bats, and now they fly around her head all day and torment her." We weren't sure whether that meant she was getting better or getting worse.
Which, again, says volumes about life in the city right now.

God, I'd forgotten that story.
I miss Blair.

Maitri, I'm guessing it's in reference to stuff like this.
Karl, that's always been a standard catch-phrase around the house. Although I always liked the way Jeff says it.

That's funny but weirdly sad at the same time
