Yesterday, my life's like, 'Uh-oh, pop quiz!' Today it's like, 'rain of toads.'

Among Sephardic Jews, it's a tradition to eat cheese at Chanukah. [link]

I've seen some recipes for various sorts of Chanukah cheese things, but never actually tried them.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

It's nothing-ma and better signage-ma to you, msbelle.

I have to go to work today, until 1:00. I expect it to be a complete waste of several hours, but at least I have the internets.

Due to the slowing economy, we could only afford to produce the prime-numbered panels. You should be able to infer the missing parts of the story easily enough. We apologize for the inconvenience.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

We have gray, mildly chilly weather here in Carrboro. Weatherwise, things look ok for me for holiday traveling. But my sister's planning on bringing her brood down from the Detroit area on Friday, to meet Dad and me in Charleston, WV, and her weather's look less pleasant. I'm thinking that if things are as bad as predicted, I should ask her to consider staying home.
