I love going to Cubs/Brewers games for this reason
That's a good example because almost nothing is of less consequence than a Cubs/Brewers game.

I haven't given any of my money to Exxon since '89, because I still hold a grudge about the way they handled the Valdez spill.
Sometimes not buying boxes is a false economy. If you're packing something like books, identical boxes really speed up the process.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Last night, they announced 11am open at my office. But somehow I feel my boss will be there at like 9:30, so I should get a moveon. I am taking a leisurely morning routine, and then I have to clear the steps (probably just sweeping).
It was so beautiful last night, with the snow all glittery.

3 degrees here. Snow day#2 after a long weekend. Have forgotten what day it is and any motor skills except those required for the rainbow loom.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
