  3. The tornado that reshaped lives as it reshaped a landscape. #49miles @indystar #inwx goo.gl/hKmnh
  4. Question hard to say no to: "Daddy, would you read to me?"
  5. “@DanMcFeely: While listening to the race, one must have ice cold watermelon ready. twitter.com/DanMcFeely/sta…” Nice. Special beverage of the day?
  6. Reader of today's tornado story, age 10, asked me to ponder: "Do I really need all these dramatic & scary parts?" goo.gl/hKmnh
  7. The tornado forced people to consider their mortality. Was it the wrath of God or a meteorlogical lottery? goo.gl/hKmnh

  13. @heycori: Your column "On transiency" bit.ly/LQFfm7 was nicely done. And you don't have to be a Buddhist to appreciate it.
  14. If I buy some cheap biker sunglasses does that restore my man card? nice time with my bride, too.
  15. Interesting place though. Scented candles and tents. Grandma trinkets and books on the Rolling Stones. I'm so disoriented.
  16. It's 90 out and I'm trailing behind my wife in the Christmas Tree Shop. #ILostMyManCard
  17. Thot it was you! “@pwilson24: #Indy500 pace car driver Guy Fieri, on first meeting with yours truly: "Like the hair." twitter.com/pwilson24/stat…
  18. You know you're in trouble @ a grad speech when speaker begins "When I was asked to give this speech..." We don't care how you got the gig.
