Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Well, I peeled some paint today, but didn't start applying the stripper. Got the stripper, tape and tarp and implements, need to hit up the dollar store for saran wrap and cheap sheets.

Ran ALL my errands today. Ooof. Laundered, visited with neighbor cat (she's such a sweet, crazy thing. I wish the meet'n'greet had gone better, then I would have her over here, since she's starving for attention. She cries when I leave after an hour,) swam, washed the produce.

Tomorrow I need to see about some plants and planting, pickle cukes, slice up some salami for a work thing, and hopefully get a start on the great stairrail stripping of 2010.

And more laundry.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Okay, I've Googled and I still don't know. Someone please explain to me 1) what the big horking deal is with LeBron James lately, and 2) besides a basketball player, which I gathered, who the hell is LeBron James?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

The big deal with him lately is that he was deciding which team to play for next year, and this became a huge deal, like spread out over weeks of speculation.

Why, he's LeBron James. And LeBron James is LeBron James, who is our prophesied LeBron James.

Not to be confused with marklars.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Did he say something bad about the team and city he's leaving, or are people just feeling betrayed because he won't be hanging out at their place for barbecues in their fantasy lives?

Because books.

Well, he was Cleveland's star. Without him, the team is pretty lost. And he grew up in Akron, so he's sort of deserting the hometown.

I know way more about this than I should.

And he went to Florida because there's no income tax. So, as long as he doesn't buy an expensive house and get hit with their property taxes, he should be fine. @@

And he became friends with two guys on the Miami team during the Olympics.

In other news, the vitamix makes awesome Bellinis and amazing smoothies. Things are SCARY smooth -- like I blended chicken, brown rice, fruit with skin and it was completely entirely integrated and chunkless.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

The Heat can potentially get him a ring too. That matters. I say from the painful depth of my Suns-loving broken soul.

Next year, P and I are going to try and be Blazers fans! It's very exciting. I think her man wants to marry me. She's never shown an interest and now I have her willing to both watch and even go to games.
