My mother ruined lamb for me by

overcooking the hell out of it. Turns out that I like it when not cooked to gray. But I still have to get past the fact I can smell it and it smells kinda like the overcooked version. Lamb is delicious but tricky for me.

Did you all know that polar bears and grizzly bears are hybridizing?!

Yep. It's a little freaky. But evolution is happy to dance with anyone it can.

I like all the meats except frog legs. My taste in cheeses is pedestrian. I only like mild nonmoldy cheese. Except blue cheese. That's good.

Lifetime limits are a horrible cheat. My current insurance has a million dollar lifetime cap. Hopefully that'll take me through to retirement and Medicaid. Or Medicare. I get them mixed up.

Is there a lot waiting for the other shoe involved?

I think part of my brain was looking for a punch line along this line most of the afternoon.

I'm digging this show though. It's like Our Town meets The Marriage of Bette and Boo.

Did you all know that polar bears and grizzly bears are hybridizing?!

I did! I once came across this fringe theory of evolution that claimed natural selection was a less significant driver than hybridisation. (And also that ankylosaurs were really mammals and the ancestors of armadillos.) One of the odder theories invoking actual science I've come across.

I like lamb, although I can fill up on it really fast. The one time I had goat it was ok, although nothing for which I'd go out of my way. There are very few cheeses I've tried that I haven't liked, except for mild cheddar. (Seriously, what's the point? Put that stuff back in the cave for another year or four until its good and crumbly.)

I am awake and at the airport. This is so wrongly early in the morning I can't even handle coffee.

Also someone turned on the tv here in the gate area and its talking about slaughter numbers and corn prices.

Calli is me with regards to cheese. Good cheddar should bite back a little.

What the hell time is it in Sioux City? Waaay tooo early.

I was surprised to find out about pre-existing conditions a few years back, since MA didn't allow insurance companies to use them. I was living in a protected world and didn't even know it.

Theo, I left the hotel at 515, my flight was at 630. I'm now at ohare for a few hours, wishing the "nap pods" business was already running (apparently it exists in Philly and Atlanta)

Timelies all!

I like lamb, though I tend to have it in forms that are mixed with something else. Never had goat. Have had a few buffalo burgers. Tried escargot in Paris. Kinda like chewing rubber bands.(The garlic sauce they were in was nice, though.)
