(No one is surprised by this statement, are they?)

Not even a little.

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

Flappy is an excellent name for a bat!

Speaking of bats, Franny has to read a book a month for school, each a different genre. The genre for the first month is "animal fiction" so Franny decided to read The Adventures of Sam the Bat. So that's been fun, watching her read it herself.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I've been thinking about getting a dress or two for fall. But everything seems to be above the knee, and that's not going to work for me.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

In fifth or sixth grade I got an assignment to read a book about a foreign country, so I grabbed a novel that was set in Canada. It was terribly boring and I began to panic that I wouldn't finish it in time. Eventually found out that I just needed to read some five page factoid booklet that was mostly pictures and then I was pissed.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

"Soft bat, warm bat, little ball of glee.
Happy bat, sleepy bat, kree kree kree."

And also, Lee, you are to be congratulated on your savvy shopping! Any pictures to share?

Flappy is an excellent name for a bat!

When I was 9 or so, I had an imaginary pet bat named Suspended Annamay. Because I thought that the phrase "suspended animation" shouldn't actually end, but just sort of taper off, and then I realized it was a perfect name for a bat sleeping upside down.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I don't think you actually can have a pet bat. I think when a bat finds you, you are the bat's pets.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I finished an article review and now I don't want to do another damn thing except run through a park barefoot.
