Matt! Scary! Losing control while driving terrifies me, I'm so glad you are all right. 2 weeks before you can get the car fixed is a serious drag.
So, what are people doing this weekend?
Tomorrow I'm planting trees in a meadow. It's a restoration project to reduce flooding in the street that runs past John Muir's grave, my parents have been involved in the whole thing for ages and are running this planting. And it's a tree-planting holiday, so it may well be a mitzvah.
Sunday is the Superbowl and probably beer.
I have jack all in the way of plans. Which feels weird. But I should savour it. Next weekend I have black belt training for, I think, six hours each day.
I'm watching Wednesday's Colbert Report, and I don't think I've ever heard of Jed Babbin before, and now that I have, I wish I could develop hysterical amnesia.
I've never heard of him either, and I still haven't watched that show. Maybe that's a good thing.
Poor shrift. Time to break out that vintage. You've had a strange and offputting day.
Hey lori and Kat, , my mom passes on her good wishes and excitement and my dad just chuckled in this really evil-delight way.
Kat, I will start sending names for reals. hee.
Jed Babbin must be the guy who had my husband sputtering with rage on Wed. night.
I'd like to say for the record that Jon Stewart guesting on a kid's show is fucking BRILLIANT. Saw it--he's extra cute and funny. And very typically himself.

If you want to spare yourself, you could watch it right up until the interview. You can't miss the On Notice segment!

Yeah, I'm gonna open the wine and see about dinner, and hope no more crazy people come into my Friday.

That would be a good bet. He heads a conservative newspaper and website called Human Events, where if you subscribe, you get a free copy of Ann Coulter's book Godless. Everything that came out of his mouth made me want to vomit on him.
Yeah, I remember him now. I think I'd blocked him out.
The On Notice bit was spectaularly funny -
Leather Pants on the Fantasies Board!
