Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

well poop! I just realized that I am actually losing about $1 on the books I have sold via amazon this week. I think they much have increased the commision they charge. I could stop adding on delivery confirmation, I guess and then I'd just about break even.

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

I kind of love today's Groupon for SF: [link]

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

But was he eating green eggs and ham?

I immediately went to "Would he eat them on a train? Would he eat them in the rain?"

ARGH.

Also, listening to Hamlet (the Ethan Hawke version) and we just game across the "Angels and Ministers of Grace, defend us!" Oh the memories!

Workin' on Our Knight Moves

Sir Francis Drake is only one of many to go through that special time in a man's life when he becomes a knight. What are some of the steps in a knighting ceremony?

* The honoree is blindfolded and driven in an ivory carriage to Knight Court.
* He is dressed as his favorite animal and escorted down the aisle by a priest dressed as Sherlock Holmes.
* He recites the Knight's Pledge, which includes vowing to "protect English pies cooling on windowsills and fight any and all invading Dragonhearts."
* The Queen then touches his shoulders with a ceremonial sword and says "Arise, Sir -- you knight you," while smiling into the camera.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I'm having lunch (Farmhouse salad from Potbelly) and watching FNL. Damn this is intense!

Today's Denver Groupon is for a one day, Amazing Race style, all city challenge thing. If I had a better working knowledge of Denver and public transportation there, I'd be up for it. Two person teams, must complete 10 out of a possible 30-40 challenges, with a ton of teams competing.

Suzi, that sounds super fun.

It's okay, perkins. I am listening to Shakespeare so all is good. I love Hamlet so much.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I did that in Chicago a few years ago. It was a blast.
