And continuing the me me me burbling: I scheduled the consultation for my next tattoo! Saturday Dec. 7, at 7pm. Which means Pete has a little bit over a week to finish working out the design.

(Pete is not enthusiastic about my plans for more tattoos, but has come to accept that I get to decorate my body the way I want. And I want the Addams Family motto inked on my arm.)

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

If you start making historical accuracy a goal, where do you stop?

I do draw the line at inviting people to dinner and then giving them fatal infectious diseases so I can take their land.

Pfft, slacker. That's the only fun part of Thanksgiving. That, and throwing dinner rolls at people when they ask you to pass the bread.

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

This is why some people prefer sweet potato rolls.

Trust me, my dad would still lob those to you overhand.

Aaugh, I have to make two things of sausage stuffing tonight. I need to remember that.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Did you know that you can get away with saying "Well, we can't replicate it, so we won't fix it" for as long as six months?

This is the kind of thinking that gave us healthcare.gov, which I've found to be not only dysfunctional, but dysfunctional in ways I've never seen before. For example, it keeps sending me back to the beginning and when I go back through again, it remembers some things I entered before, but not all of them. There's no rhyme or reason to what it forgets. It remembers my SSN, but forgets whether I have dependents.

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

If you start making historical accuracy a goal, where do you stop?

For me the answer is: with the invention of the flush toilet.

hip deep in pie

I don't know if there will be pie at my Thanksgiving tomorrow.

This somehow seems Unamerican, said the person who celebrated Thanksgiving six weeks ago.

Apparently she was planning to serve fish until the other aunt rebelled.

Aggghhh! She must be stopped!

We are having a big rain/windstorm. I expect to lose power sometime tonight.
