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

Msbelle is Tolkien at night. Pass it on.

I was looking at a Facebook group for people in my home county in Pennsylvania and discovered my favorite high school teacher is A) still alive (cue Big Jake McCandles quote) B) on Facebook, and C)a right winger, declaring Obamacare will bankrupt us and proudly talking about the Smith & Wesson he carries for protection. And he wouldn't sign a Sandy Hook sympathy card if it was going to be used to promote gun control (he signed it, so apparently it met his principles).

Very sad. He taught us the beauty of literature, used Tolkien for extra credit, reveled in the intelligence of his students. But if Hubby's face isn't in the dictionary next to Curmudgeon, it would be Mr. Berryhill's.

Jessica, there are also other choirs that meet in bars. I dunno if there are any in NYC, though I don't know why not, but there was a story on them a while ago: [link]

Also, I'm entirely enamored of the Little Free Libray movement. That might be a next year girl scout project. FUN.

This may be of interest to other Star Wars fans who like crafts. The snowflakes are amazing. [link]

Finally, T. Lo has posted the first in the series on the Miss Universe costumes: [link] WTF, USA?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ah ha ha -- I just learned that many of our top people are going to be on a cruise ("working") for most of December. Here's hoping someone is authorized to sign off on all the year-end things we'll need from them!

On the upside of my job, I might get to go to an event with Allen Leech aka Branson from Downton!!

So tonight walking across the field in the dark after my swim, a 6 ft tree limb came floating toward me, parallel to the ground, about 3 ft up.

My brain stuttered to a halt, completely confused.

...it was a large dark colored dog proudly carrying his really big stick.

I started laughing hysterically once I figured it out, and the owner materialized as I was bent over, catching my breath. Once I explained, he had a major gigglefit too.

There is not a shade of green in existence to describe how envious I am.

Next mission: assume Jesse's identity.
