Ugh. The sandwich I had for lunch is not sitting well with me. I wish I'd gotten something else.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

For 24 fans.... Over the weekend, I was in line at the service counter at my nearby Gelson's, and President Logan and his wife got in line behind me.

I recommend most always pretending you're not a panda.
Given what Homer Simpson found out when he was pretending to be a panda, this is sound advice.
