Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Jesse, can you snag an underwire from a sucky bra and make Frankenbra?

I did a triple take when I read this until I realized I was mis-reading the last word.

Timelies! Had a great weekend in Maine (and avoided the cray-zee-ness that Nora described per Salem). Finally, a weekend this Autumn where the weather was the opposite of suck-ass. Go team foliage (and there was still some pretty left).

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I do not know the different meanings of the dashes. the client had sent us text with two dashes in one place. I think we used an en-dash. I could not care less, but I will make sure it is ok with the client before the day is over.

lunch

I am running out now to get a bagel with cream cheese and tomato and possibly a salad.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm not eating. I'm sitting here, waiting for the revisions that were due at noon. And working on my yuletide signup.

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

They probably wanted an en-dash, then. Unless they wanted a hyphen. Now, if they'd done it twice, in a sort of a bracketing fashion, total em-dash time. I hope there were no spaces around it!

Ah, yes. No lunch. Perhaps I'll sip some more ginger ale, and nibble a day-old neutered California roll.

Our wings are not tired.

Lunch was an avocado sandwich. I have an abundance of them that were blown off the tree. It’s eat them up in the next week or so or toss them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had leftover pizza for brunch, so I'm afraid I'll be in snack mode for any future eating today.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Mmmm, avocados.

I had some roasted chicken, a hunk of cheddar cheese, and a cup of peach yogurt.

But the long walk I had before lunch was better than the food. It's in the upper 60s (F) and sunny here today. Breezy, too. Perfect walking weather.

All my avocado are belonging to Laura. I had them leave those out of my California rolls. The fat is unappealing right now.

I had a cheese stick, a bag of froofroo gourmet potato chips and a minitootsie roll.

I regret the tootsie roll.
