she and David were making bear-claw hands and whispering, "raaar!" very softly into each other's ears.
Awwwww.....
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
They are brutal hard work, but so much fun!
Childhood, not children.
Having children of my own, right now, is an abstract idea. Like the horizon after the next horizon that's after the next horizon.

In addition to jet-packs and flying cars, another thing I expected to have as an adult is the office cocktail bar. Remember all those movies and tv shows from the '60s where businessmen had mini-cocktail bars in their offices? I guess the idea goes back a ways....
This executive party desk from the Jan, 1947 ish of Popular Science has all the standard desk stuff on one side, and complete cocktail bar on the other:
THE makers of this postwar “dream desk” imply that it began as a designers’ joke, but its reception at a Chicago exhibit has brought it into actual, though limited, production. All set for work or play, as the drawings indicate, it is made by the Gunn Furniture Co., of Grand Rapids. The price: “Well into four figures.”

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Yay for the Phoenix landing!
So we went to a b-day party on Sunday and the dad there actually worked on the shuttle. I'm not sure what he did, but it involved working inside the cockpit simulator working out bugs so the missions would go smoothly. Whoa. Isaac was SO INTO IT, hanging on his words. He described it as his "dream job" and said it was hard, but he ultimately decided not to go through the astronaut training because he didn't want to leave his family for months at a time, but his good friend is right now on a 5 month or so long mission in space.

Yeah, on the way to work this morning, I almost snarled at a random guy who was smiling, and I told myself, "Whoa, dial it down a notch, there, Psychopants."

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Anyone following the French guy who was going to jump out of a hot air balloon FROM SPACE today? Did that happen? Did he live?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Man, I already feel like I've done enough work for the day. And yet? NSM.
