Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm flopped out on the couch with a cold, so my one beer is likely to go unfinished. As is any idea of NYE plans, which I'm actually totes okay with.

I'm drinking a gin toddy, all Christmas Carol-like.
In the last week I've exposed both of my children to the Firefly pilot.
Emmett's take: "There's only 13 episodes? Why?! This is good!"
Matilda's take: "Is that her [Inara's] boyfriend? [JZ tries to find an appropriate way to discuss a Companion]
Matilda: "So she has a lot of boyfriends?"
(Also, lesson learned. Matilda is not ready to watch Firefly.)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I had a glass of wine at dinner, but forgot to post. And then made sure kids were packed for quick NYE visit to HMB.
And then checked heads for lice. I have become the mom who checks her kids' heads for lice 2X a week. Because there's an outbreak every year, and it usually hits our house, and I'm tired of it. I do wonder if the cure is worse than the disease sometimes (usually the times when I decide we need to do a thorough combing instead of just a casual check).

I had a maple pecan porter. It was, as ever, not quite mapley enough.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
That sounds fabulous, though.

The answer to this problem is, I suspect, on your shelf next to the pancake mix.

As a kid, down on Olvera Street, my Dad used to buy me maple sugar candy, that was pure molded maple sugar in the form of maple donkeys and maple men & women and maple rabbits and maple ducks. Can't get much maplier than that. Don't know if anyone but a little kid can stand something that sweet.
