Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The delivery window for the furniture is 11-2.

I don't know who gets their furniture in the beginning of the delivery window, or their cable appointment or whatever, but it's never me.

Once, I had to bolt down the street because the Sears delivery truck was 20 minutes early.

I can still do the splits. In many different iterations. I can't do standing splits so well anymore, but yes. Splits.

And I do them in yoga. And occasionally in my classroom as it freaks my students out.

Home from wisdom teeth pulling. He is still kinda loopy and fun. I ran to the store to get his Rx and as I was walking in from the garage I got a text from him asking where I went. Poor noodle. He has a big camping/training trip this weekend for ARP. His sargent also just had his wisdom teeth pulled so they will be quite the pair.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

And occasionally in my classroom as it freaks my students out.

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

Never could do the splits, despite being fairly flexible.

IEEE used LotusNotes until...last year? or the year before. It all blurs together. Now we use Gmail.

Bar in a bookstore! Oh, my gosh. I can't leave without a big stack of books when I'm SOBER.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Glad CJ's okay. Was it all four or just two this time?

I was getting Matilda ready to take her to Boys and Girls Club for her first day of camp, and I saw some purple chalk dust on her bicep. I tried to wipe it off. It didn't come off.

"Is that a bruise?" "I guess. It doesn't hurt." "How did you get it?" "I don't know! It didn't hurt so I didn't notice it!"

And in my head, I've got the paranoid parent dialogue about Mandated Reporters, the dreaded upper arm bruise and her first day at a new camp where they don't really know me. Great.

All 4. It cost SO much less than I had expected. He really should have had them pulled a while ago. But there were no complications, so it is all good. I'm more worried about how he will do over the weekend.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

So, do you say 'a split' or 'the splits'? The splits sounds so weird to me, but I am sure it is a regional thing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well, the Banana Splits have a song called "Doin' the Banana Split," FWIW. Which I suppose is nothing.
