There was an article somewhere recently, maybe the NYT, that talked about how his handlers were worried that if he gave up smoking it would affect his great voice.

So, he said he's going to quit, apparently. On Wait Wait, they pointed out that this might not be the optimal time, what with the stress and all.

Huh. I thought I'd come back to find the hordes had descended upon the thread to kill it off.

seriously.

Where's Kat when we need her?

seriously.

Seriously.

I am baking oatmeal-maple-wheat-pecan-raisin bread, and it smells awesome.

There are things I should be doing but instead I'm just poking about the internet and reading fic. What a chore.

Isn't Kat on a boat near Hawaii about now?

Just my little ounce of sunshine to add. It got up to freezing here today!

I decided to put off errands until tomorrow, when it is supposed to hit the 20s. So instead I cleaned and cleaned and put together a lamp and hauled a bunch of things to the dumpster.

There's still plenty of cleaning to do, but I think I may stop for a while and have a vodka gimlet.

So, you know what I need and don't have? A ladle. Makes the whole serving-soup thing much more difficult.

Very good choice, shrift. I'm mostly done with cleaning, except for last minute stuff. As soon as the thread is dead, I think I may go nap.

Aren't you also the one short on spoons?

Ha! I am!
