Announcement: I found a new cocktail to make at home, involving both bourbon and tequila.
Recipe, please?
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

But I maintain those people are missing out on the awesomeness of motorsports.
You can have all of mine--I grew up in Indy and don't need it.
Luckily, irksome friend eventually showed up, we checked out a new bar with fab cocktails and, shockingly, quiet! on a Saturday night! Then went dancing, where I managed to avoid making out with the ex, but ended up feeling very old when we agreed that managing to stay until 1AM was totally sufficient.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh man! I'm listening to Liane Hansen's last day on Weekend Edition Sunday. Sad.

Super sad. But it's been a Liane going off the air fest for a few weeks (months?) now. This has more impact in my life than Oprah going off the air.
It's overcast this morning, which is good. But yoiks. Chilly too.

Yeah, I haven't listened to much WESun lately, but it has been a retirement-fest for months. I actually figured I had missed her last day, since who wants to work on the long weekend??

Now tagless for your comfort.
Memorial Day usually has a bit more solemnity topped off with grill food.
Noah's anime eyes are KILLER. How does that kid not have a pony yet?

It's snowing in the mountains again. It's supposed to be in the 80s by Thursday. I am not enjoying this.

Noah doesn't want a pony. He wants an AT AT Walker.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What's magic about dump trucks? Yesterday I caught a toddler trying to drag his mother down a side corridor towards one as she insisted she could "see it just fine from here!" But he was fixated.
