Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Happy New Year, billytea!
Thank you! So far, so good.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Why oh why did I agree to a call with my financial guy this morning? I have no interest in thinking about anything right now!

Remember my father's semi-crazy super-low fat diet? I talked to him about it a few days ago, and he says he's dropped his cholesterol by 40 points since Sept. 1. He's following a 10% total fat diet. My stepmother is following along, my sense is somewhat unwillingly. I did not bring them any pumpkin bread. My father checked the fat levels on the Triscuits he fed my kids.

I had pancakes with maple syrup for breakfast. They were lovely, and that's enough maple sugar for the next few months.

Whew, I left my badge at work, apparently; it was on my desk when I got in (thanks to one of my co-workers I only ever see in the parking lot, hooray for nodding acquaintances!)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I had a McGriddle for breakfast. Those have maple syrup in them. Or maybe "maple" flavor.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I have work to do and zero motivation.

I started the process of rolling over my old-job retirement plan and paid a couple of bills, which seems like more than enough to have accomplished today. I kind of want to go to Target as well, but we'll see.
I talked to him about it a few days ago, and he says he's dropped his cholesterol by 40 points since Sept. 1. He's following a 10% total fat diet.
Wow. I mean, assuming he had a cholesterol problem, that does seem really effective! But also miserable.

I'm actually not too enamored of maple flavor.
How can this be? Maple is my one true flavor. I mean, after cheese and salt. Then maple.
I think I may make maple caramels today.
