I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

Some delicious tomato sauce I made by roasting everything and blending it, mozzarella, pepperoni.

Mmmmmm.

My pizza is in the oven. Five more minutes. C'mon crust! Crisp up!

I had an early dinner with my folks at their new place. It felt uncomfortably like high school going into the dining room, because 2/3 of the seats have nametags and my folks have clearly not been sharing a table with anyone. They eat alone at a small table in the corner, which makes me sad. How will they meet people if they don't make an effort?

I think I have met more of their neighbors than they have!

Mom was ... a little better, maybe. Less frantic, still irrational, but somewhat willing to be redirected. At one point said she was willing to stay for two months and then immediately switched to one month and then said she wanted to move immediately. Sigh.

This is going to be a long thing. Bah.

And my wine is old and oxidized. I may have to break out the Glenlivet.

Do it! It's past time.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

My skating coach has retired--it happened while I was away. He had talked about doing it someday, but I had no idea he meant NOW. I didn't get to say goodbye, although I have his email so I can write him. I am bummed--there are other coaches at the rink, but he was my coach ever since I started, so it'll take getting used to a new person.

That's what I figured.

Mostly I just try to make sure the presents aren't too difficult to open.

Bob Costas just made an anti-handgun commentary on the outro of the halftime report on an NFL broadcast. Wow.

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

I have a spice grinder like this one that I use mostly for cloves and cumin. I used to have an electric blade coffee grinder but the motor died and I replaced it with the manual one.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Is that the one where Loehmann's used to be?

Yes? North-East corner.

For those who may not know, an NFL player shot himself to death yesterday outside the Chiefs stadium (after shooting his girlfriend at home).

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

Wow.

ION I have joined a health club. It's only a block away so really convenient.
