I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

ISTG. I had six hours to do stuff today including write a cover letter, and have used up five of them doing nothing! This is why I'm no good at staycation -- I am way too good at procrastinating.

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

My tasks today are to unpack suitcases (ugh), go through mail (not ugh, but boring), and work on putting together a scrapbook of my France trip (fun!) I think I'll do the mail first, just to get it out of the way and have something done. I've made a rule that I can't start working on scrapbook stuff until all my suitcases are unpacked.

information libertarian

Bow before my librarian-fu: The patron approached wanting to know the name of a "country singer who died recently of throat cancer." Said singer had a song about falling out of bed and everybody laughing. He played the guitar and wore glasses.

The correct answer? Robin Gibb. (No, I never found out what the song about falling out of bed might have been.)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

That is mighty mighty librarian-fu, flea.

Ann, that's a ferret.

The correct answer? Robin Gibb. (No, I never found out what the song about falling out of bed might have been.)

The song was almost certainly "I Started a Joke." Although falling out of bed, hurting his head was from a different part of the song than when he started to cry, which started the whole world laughing.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Unless the country is Australia.
