On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I googled die cut, and it was all industrial. What do you have, Kat?

So cool. What's it for?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Snow has been shovelled, essentials obtained and an Entenmann's Singles peach pie is in my posession.

Now I'm curious about the die cut. How does it work?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Cool palm trees.

I have no pie. I do, however, have a chocolate pudding cake in the oven.

Oooh, die cuts! The Teachers' Center in LC (funded partially by the school system & the teachers' unions, it has all sorts of resources for teachers, including displays and toys and "kits" for curricula like geography or places or science, FOR FREE!) had a massive die cut set.

I'd play for hours on them when mom went there to work. For her classroom, of course. t /guilt

It was so fucking cool. Hundreds and hundred and maybe even a thousand different cuts. Awesome.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Eve: So beautiful and also amusing!

Pie: We just ate Boboli Pizza Pie. I would like a more traditional cherry pie actually. Love cherry pie.

Johnny Carson: I love the little Carson-isms that Jon Stewart tosses in on an almost nightly basis. My junior high (7-9 grades) had a split schedule, and for 7 and 8, I was on the late shift. This meant I went to school at noon (until 5pm), and I got to stay up until 1am watching the Tonight Show. This would be...1973-74. So I watched a lot of classic Johnny Carson in his heydey. Like Jon Stewart (his true heir) he had an incredibly light touch and could milk a laugh out of the slightest wiggle of his eyebrows.

Guess Who I Saw?: Answer Betsy and Consuela at Amoeba Records. Betsy scored The Prisoner, Consuela Stargate (the movie) and Bullwinkle. I showed them my Orgy of The Dead.

You know what's good? Living in a city where you can just run into Betsy and Consuela.

Always Anti-fascist!

Like "Mmm, that's good----." Score! I thought I remembered that from some place. Feeling smart and hip now. Love this.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

That card is awesome, Kat.

Franny woke from her nap and wanted to wear her cowgirl boots (they are pink and two sizes too big for her). So Daddy insisted that we put the blue jean diaper cover on her. Too cute. I really must take photos this time.

Jesse, I am an utter failure at pie crusts. I should make ita show me how to do it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am a believer that pie crust is a combination of practice and temperment. Is that the word? My mother will never be able to not over-work a crust.

I wish I had pie now. Pizza, cherry, pork, whatever. I need to eat some dinner, I guess.

Awww. How old is Franny now?
