The morning after I killed myself. Lots of research that most people really want to live, and that getting beyond the suicidal impulse is the main thing. Worth reading.

I know this isn't SportsFilter but, damn I'm beside myself about Aldridge Playing for the Spurs next season. This Grantland write-up has some soothing paragraphs about how he'll fit in, and man it's been such a long summer. Looking forward to a deep playoff run, and a couple more chances to make it down form Austin to SA to catch Duncan play in what will probably be his final season.
