NOra (heh, my phone did that but I'm gonna leave it) currently the south has colder temps than we do, so don't go counting chickens, etc
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'd say not tragic, but still sad. A life completed, for sure.

Because books.
I wrote a piece this summer about him, when he was first in the hospital. Definitely a life of achievement.

which part of the south? New Orleans is in the mid 60s-high 70s this week.
Conversely, though, there were a few weeks up there this past summer that you all were hitting higher temps than us consistently. I remember this because I was planning a visit shortly after all that nonsense, so I was paying close attention to the weather.
It don't matter though, I love the weather here. If it gets cold (like 40s-50s) it's still better than below freezing and sub zero and snow and slush and ice.

I agree with this. The world was a better place with him in it.
I'm catching up on an episode of Scandal from October. The one where the politician is accused of killing his mistress, but his wife did it instead. It would have been a better episode if that twist hadn't been done a million times before.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
RIP, Nelson Mandela. What a life, what a legacy.

Theodosia, that's funny about Jim Cantore! It's true. He's like the warning harbinger of bad weather.

My Arkansas cousins are bracing for Icepocalypse, apparently.
I made air-popped popcorn! With the ancient but barely-used popper I inherited. I think I like the pan better.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
My one true popcorn is Alton Brown's homemade microwave popcorn.
Oh god the new microwave doesn't get here until next week.
