Burrell, be gentle with yourself. Plus, you're ability to listen is often exactly what I need rather than advice.
Man, just ascend already.

If you want an entertaining story to cheer yourself up this morning, read this request for advice on what to do with 18 lbs of cheese. It's simply marvelous.
ION, ran the dog this morning, and made a tart crust which is now chilling in the fridge. I think I'll try to make frangipane cream tomorrow and throw some apricots on top. Nom.
Gud, I hope you're doing better today.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Thank you both. It's been a rough summer, but then summer tends to be a bit rough on me. I'm trying to just let go of the anger and frustration since fall is almost here and there's a new school year ahead, and that presents a whole different set of challenges.

What is frangipane? I turns up in British Bake-Off, and I don't know what it is.
ION, as I clean up the house, things end up in odd places. I looked over from my computer to see this looking at me.
After being mildly startled at eyes looking at me, I remembered it was this.
Bought in a short-lived Mexican furniture and art store in town about twenty years ago.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
What is frangipane?
I swear I thought it was a flower, but that can't be right.

It's used a lot in French Pastry...if you've ever had an almond croissant, the almond paste was probably frangipane.

I miss this place. I'm using the Chrome Beta browser on Android now and it seems to do a better job of keeping my place than the old one.
The only thing of note to report vis that a temporary rental car is making driving much much easier. As in "working AC easier."

The alumni group bowling thing was fine. No one there from within a decade of my graduation date, so that was not great. Everyone seemed nice though and I will go to ones in the future. Next one up includes a few other university alum groups.
