I mean, I'm sure he was in a PhD program before he went on Big Brother the first time, but he's got to be a professional reality show contestant at this point, after two seasons of BB and now this.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Having been in a PhD program... well, I'd probably still pick that over two seasons of Big Brother, but then I have an abhorrence of being on television.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I just got back from Madison, and gosh darnit, I am just wiped out from the driving and the moving and sorting and packing stuff. I'm glad my sister drove from Clintonville to Madison, or I'd be even more wiped out.
I am obviously not a 20 year-old guy anymore.
Also, what would you do if you found a kitten with a hand-grenade? That was the question my youngest son Mason asked my sister.
My sister said something about seeing if the pin was still in the grenade and then finding the kitten's mommy.
Both my sons are obsessed with kittens. And explosives and guns and bazookas....

Throw the grenade, not the kitten.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
How angry is the kitten?

I passed that question on to my sister. Sadly, we got back to Madison to find Mason has the flu, so he might not be up for answering the query.

Have online comment sections become 'a joke'?
In the early days of the Internet, there was hope that the unprecedented tool for global communication would lead to thoughtful sharing and discussion on its most popular sites.
A decade and a half later, the very idea is laughable, says Gawker Media founder Nick Denton.
...Don't read the comments?

I read the comments section of the Salt Lake Tribune--and post there!--because it gives me hope for the intelligence of Utah. The Trib is the "liberal" paper, and the prevalence of a more liberal view is what allows a smallish market like Salt Lake to support two daily newspapers. The other paper, the Deseret News, is owned by the LDS Church--or their business arm, in interests of being fair to the church's own declarations--and is known for a filtered, to put it kindly, worldview.
The DNews comments section is heavily moderated, and the Trib's is as well, though not nearly to the same degree. The pack of wolves on the Trib resent both the moderation and the recent change to allow only Likes on posts. It was nice to be able to Dislike some posts into oblivion, but there is value in seeing the vitriol, and the moderators will yank a post--or a poster--if they get truly awful.

Gee, this freaky warm weather just keeps on going. Today for our drive back it was sunny and 70 F out, which was weird as we were driving past frozen rivers and lakes and seeing snow in the ditch.
And we're supposed to get 73 in Chicago on Wednesday.
After belief in global warming declined for several years (due to much less media coverage), it's been on the rise recently due to all the weird weather in the last year or two.
