What, no meal first?
Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Refueling!
lisah, that's neat exposure and a fab picture!
Survived telecommuting. Cat report: Loki would like to spend the whole day sleeping on me. Devi will wander through, look surprised to see me, drive by pets and retire to her cube. Mister Kitty wanders down 3 or 4 times a day, does a circuit of the first floor, then goes back upstairs. I think at least one trip was to alert me his bowl was empty. That was the one he actually jumped up next to me and poked me.
I kinda didn't get much done but reading.
New swimsuit arrived. It's nice and snug. I always forget HOW snug they are when brand new, rather than 8 months old. But everything stays put and that's all I really ask.

You are showing great restraint.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Kid with vuvella thing across the street - may need to relocate" and of course it totally looks like the kid across the street has a misspelled vulva.
On the subject of "kids say the darndest things" one of the girls at Matilda's school, McKenzie, has latched onto Emmett as her buddy. When he arrived yesterday, McKenzie and Matilda got worked up into a froth of pre-K wackiness, jumping and yelping at him like a pack of frenzied pomeranians.
It culminated when McKenzie (not quite 4) pointed her finger at Emmett and declaimed: "Your poop has talent!"
Which both mystified and bemused us.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Goddamn I miss Fujita. He's here discussing the NFL/player discussion, but he makes a really good argument for collective bargaining. "They need to treat us like we're partners." [link]

My mother once declared, firmly and with conviction, that Danny Thomas was a lesbian.

Was she four years old at the time?

Ooh, I meant to tell other swimmers this: I got a catalog along with the suit, and it had all sort of swimming things. Which was fascinating, but I found out there is a lap counter thing that you wear like a ring, so you can just hit the button with your thumb. And it keeps split times. It's $32, but maybe next time my family asks what I want for a gift...
Also, there are all sorts of swimming things I've never heard of nor have they occurred to me.

um ... since she was over 20 when I was born and I'm old enough to remember this, I'd say NO. My mother liked to refer to herself as Mrs. Malaprop - thought it was cute when she got stuff wrong.
