Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, pretty, Beverly! I bought some anti-bug flowers to go in one of my pots, so we'll see how that goes.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Both attempts highly successful! Today is all coming up -t so far.

Good luck with the teeny monster slaying, Bev. I'm picturing Fear, Itself.

I was amused that the very title you mentioned was up next, Jesse. Sadly, my DVR can't tell me if I've seen it before. I think I have.

Honestly, I'm sure it's for sweeps. How many Hitler topics can we get out of this science show??

Does sweeps matter for PBS? I guess everyone wants ratings.

-t, you inspired me, and I ran nearly 6 miles today. My fastest average pace in a while, too--it didn't hurt that all the hills were in the first 2/3 of the run, and the last 2 miles was all flat with a gradual downhill.

The dog, however, is very tired. I am going to have to dial back on her running, I think. She is, after all, 9.

I'm all dressed to go running. Anyyyyyyy minute now I'm going to leave the house and go run. Any minute. Real soon. Yup. Once I decide where to go. Yeah, totally cool...uh....

Oh yeah, I guess it doesn't! I should know these things. I do know that they put Downton and Sherlock both together in January, because that's when they get the best ratings.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Kids are at a double play date and I should be writing. shhh! just warming up the computer first.

Try explaining one that involves this work product:

Cultural anthropologist? I would love to read the article too btw, so I may be broken.

Kate, I'm thisclose to volunteering as webmaster for the chorus I sang with briefly, and I don't know anything about websites! But I do know that theirs is terrible.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Don't do it, Jesse! I mean, maybe it would be fine, but mine has taken more of my time than I'd expected. It doesn't help that this has been a very busy year for us (four major concerts instead of two, which means twice as many music files to put up on the site, and updating more often), plus we redesigned the site in the fall and it went live over Christmas, when of course I wasn't checking my email every day. Also, our hosting company isn't that great, but we have to stick with them because they barely charge us anything. But if your choir is less active (or ambitious) than mine, it might not be so much work.
