You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

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

We* were late putting flea stuff on our dogs, which we finally did early in the week. Now they are fine and our house has fleas. I washed all their bedding last night, but we have to treat the cats and spray and mop everywhere.

  • by "we" I mean my spouse, who does not get bitten to shreds by fleas so considers them a minor issue rather than the evil scourge that I do.

Ugh Scrappy, the arrival of the fleas is the worst thing about Spring

[Note: by "fleas" I mean the pests, not our glorious flea, who would in fact be most welcome to drop by for a visit any time of year]

I am now in quaint and beautiful Eureka Springs, a little oasis of liberal artists, craftsmen, and B&B owners in the Ozarks surrounded by giant statues of Jesus and billboards for White Pride Radio.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Can someone translate a Spanish email my sister got from a customer? Apparently Google Translate is failing her.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I think I left a library book at the hotel in Chicago last week (OH GOD SORRY FLEA) but just realized it today (in my defense, it's been a crazy weird week). So I called them, but the Lost and Found Manager (surely that's not the person's only job?) is only in from 9 to 5, so I'll call back tomorrow.

I have NEVER, in my life, misplaced a library book, much less left it in another city. I am mortified.

That sounds lovely, Matt.

And that's an oops, Steph, but perhaps the hotel has already mailed it back to the library? That's what I would do if a customer left a library book at my hotel, what with their habit of stamping Library Book and the address on them.

They may have, but I'm going to call tomorrow to be sure.

My garbage can is full. I have enough filled garbage bags of random stuff to fill it up again. I see a vicious circle in my future if I don't find an unsuspecting dumpster to trespass on.

Buzzfeed has an article about "old people" joining Facebook because they want to use Tinder, which requires a Facebook login. The oldest person mentioned in the article is 35.

I can't hear you; speak directly into my tin ear horn!

(Also, I totally want to see Civil War again, so let me know when you want to go [if you want company].)
