Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Is the creationism and peanut butter anything like Kirk Cameron and the banana?

I hope things with Grace improve fast, Kat. I could wish the same for your classroom, and well, I do. But I don't know how much that's going to help.

Zen, good on cicadas and not crazy stalkers.

I don't think I ever had a towel. I haven't been able to find it for a while, at least.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It displays the same breathtaking lack of understanding of either life sciences or logical thought. Rather more astounding in the lack of biological understanding, but I give the bananas the edge in the lack of logical thought and general WTFery.

I would just like to say at this point that if the fact that the match between the number of ridges on the outer surface of a banana and the number of joints in our fingers is evidence of intelligent design, then pineapples are evidence of a cruel and vengeful god.

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

It's like the people who can actually convince themselves that Obama is going to impose Sharia law. Based on what evidence exactly? How many Sharia-based laws has he tried to pass in the past 4 years?!? NONE!

It's sort of like how he's trying to take away all of our guns with his absolutely zero attempts at or mentions of gun control. So, you know, FACTS.

then pineapples are evidence of a cruel and vengeful god.

They are delicious and will magically make your skin soft, smooth and pretty. With sugars and acid though. Not god or magic.

We have swapped twins so now I am in the ER. I forgot a sweater in my haste, so i am freezing. I am also a bad mom for dragging Noah out of bed.

Since I have been here I have also refused to allow them to transfer Grace to Santa Monica by threatening to take her AMA.

Our wings are not tired.

I hope Grace is doing better and that Kat gets some rest.

I only watched a few seconds of the peanut butter thing. After 3 days of watching the convention in Tampa I have depleted my tolerance for stupid.

I have seen many forms of life generated in closed containers. A tour of my refrigerator could scare all the creationism out of him.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh THAT peanut butter video. Yeah, that's been around a while, and sadly, is not a joke. I mean, it's hilarious, but it's not a joke.

It's sort of like how he's trying to take away all of our guns with his absolutely zero attempts at or mentions of gun control. So, you know, FACTS.

He's just lulling us into a false sense of security and then BAM! His second term, it's gonna be all-communist-sharia-gun-control-all-the-time.

I hope Grace gets better quickly.

I'll be heading back to glorious Kernersville tonight. There were a couple who lived hear my dad and helped him out a lot after Mom died. Yesterday one of them passed away, so I'm going to the visitation this evening. It'll be the first time back in Kernersville since I wrapped up Dad's stuff.

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

Coping~ma for Calli and Kat.

I am avoiding any creationism peanut-butter-banana videos. Can't deal.

They are delicious and will magically make your skin soft, smooth and pretty.

Eating them, or smearing them on? contemplating pineapple bath
