4 hours of meetings. Almost as long monkeying with a damned pc.
Tired now.
Yeah... That went well.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wait, I thought we were supposed to pet things and call them George?
A shocking confession: Honestly, I don't even know what that means.

I just listened to the whole "Six to Eight Black Men" thing, that was awesome, thanks for linking to it!!
Other random trivia: Did y'all know that the equestrian events for the Olympics are NOT happening in China?!?! They're in Hong Kong, thousands of miles away, because of Chinese quarantine restrictions on the horses being too much of a pain to deal with?? How weird is that?!?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
When we were in the Netherlands a coupel of years ago, we were there in early December, wwhich is when Sinter Klaas and Black Peter (Yeah, that's his name) have their Day. There were wonderful costumed versions of them everywhere. Like this: [link]

Not my picture, but we saw many random versions of this parade. My fave was seeing Black Peters in full satiny regalia and adidas shoes.

Hong Kong IS China.
Didn't they march in separately in the opening ceremonies? That seemed weird.

Honestly, I don't even know what that means.
(Like yesterday's initials, how glad am I not to be alone in this?)
This is where Google took me:
The quote is "I'm gonna love him, and squeeze him and call him George." I comes from the book Of Mice and Men. You also hear it in an early Bugs Bunny cartoon. I also believe that Dot from the Animaniacs said it too.

Are you confusing Hong Kong with Taiwan?
Hong Kong was under lease to Great Britain - you don't remember that big deal when the lease was done?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

They did, sort of like how Puerto Rico marched separately of the US.

Oh yeah, I guess Bugs Bunny is the reference. It rings a faint bell.

But so did Puerto Rico, didn't they? And like American Samoa? There were a couple clearly US territories that get their own teams.
