Grateful for the legacy of Rob Reiner. I'm old enough to remember him as "Meathead." I thoroughly enjoyed _This is Spinal Tap_ and _The Princess Bride_, but my favorite of his films is _Stand by Me_. What are you grateful for today? #gratitude

This really warmed my heart:
Lunch lady makes custom 'cafeteria cart' for disabled first grader: 'It has my license plates'
First grader Julian has a form of dwarfism, and his cart helps him navigate the cafeteria and get his lunch with ease.

Got this in my email this morning. It's a solid explanation of why "the r-word" just shouldn't be used... #disability
