I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Empty paper rolls are great kiddie props. Robot prosthetics, telescopes, wands you can make things fly out of...cardboard, the gift that gives and gives.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I am not enjoying football so much today.

It's not improving my mood like I hoped.

At least Atlanta is losing. (Sorry, Ginger.)

Really, a Falcons win would be better, since Carolina is right behind us, but I'm pretty much incapable of rooting for the Falcons.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

No kidding. This game is rough.

Although, at least, you appear to have taken out half the Jets' squad.

I'm trying to comfort myself with roast pumpkin seeds, but they are kind of burnt.

Yeah, but the Saints are taking too many hits too. We can't have Colston, Sproles, and Graham all hurt at the same time.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I have a 9:15 pt session tomorrow, but I forgot boss lady isn't in. So either I show up extra early to set the intern on her tasks, then drive back, or reschedule (the point had been to just simply go into work late, instead of having to leave in the middle of the day, but I'd forgotten about the boss lady working Saturday and being out Monday), or still go in late and text intern marching orders.

The last is the easiest on me, but also seems . . . un-put-together. Which I have to admit is true of me at the best of times.

Because books.

She has empty toilet paper rolls on her hands and is pretending to be a robot. My kids are odd.

I was going to say, as a mother of three, that sounds completely normal to me.
