I love the idea of the little man crying upon attempted removal of sand from his mouth.
I have about slept today away. Shame.

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

Take the Independence Day quiz!
I got a perfect score, but some of those questions at the end involved some serious guessing.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I also got a perfect score! Though a few of them I wasn't really certain of my answers, and one was almost a total guess.

Damn, George Carlin has died.

Ooh, I only got 25. I missed the one about the last ratified amendment, and I don't know what I was thinking and clicked the wrong number of impeached presidents (clearly silly). Had no idea on the number of amendments proposed and not passed, or whatever that question was. Nor did I know which president was born in Texas, other than "not Bush". I forget which other question I missed.

Ow. George was my father's age. He will be missed.
Cool fixture in a cool store.
Tomorrow is Monday. You guys have until 6 am to make it not a work day without in any way jeopardising my ability to pay my rent.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
28 out of 30. I missed the year the last amendment was ratified and the president born in Texas.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
This is from way back but I wanted to say that Emmett's baseball tournament story was awesome - very proud of him. That's the kind of baseball story I like.
Thanks, Stephanie. He's been extra good at the big brother gig all weekend too. Which is good because it does let me see him away from baseball where so much of our time together is.
He had a practice game today and every time he came to bat his front foot would step out as the pitcher released the ball. It's something I'll have to UnTeach his body, because now his body wans to get away. But he wasn't having a panic attack up there either.
I love George Carlin. I've been watching since he was on the Flip Wilson show. That's a hard one for me to take. He stayed funny for a much longer time than any of his peers.

Skipping (yeah, even the few Sunday-of-a-F2F posts, sigh) to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Steph L's birthday.
Happy birthday, Teppy! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

Hippo Birdies, Steph!
Too bad about George Carlin, who secured a prominent place in media history without ever starring in a movie or having his own TV show that I know of, and did so much to provoke discussion about the First Amendment while being truly, truly funny.
