I'm sorry, Sarameg. This is not the time to have a cold.
Spike: I'm not a monster. Xander: Yes! You are a monster. Vampires are monsters! They make monster movies about them! Spike: Well, yeah. Got me there.

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

OTOH, I got most of the Xmas shopping done for the boys & my brother & already know what I'm getting SIL. Parents are a who knows, I'll just make donations and get mom's booklist.
Probably earliest I've done it.
Am applying bourbon.

Last morning on my trip—we will head to the airport as soon as we are done eating breakfast here. Will be glad to be home, though not glad to head back to work.

I am peeved that I got a coupon offer for really affordable Andrew Christian underwear and then found out that their sizes only go up to a 36 waist.
Dear Andrew Christian, 34-36 is not a Men's Xtra Large in any size scale I've ever seen. Just admit that you don't make clothes for anyone bigger than a Medium.

Matt, that sucks. Although I am happy that I seem to be able to buy clothing for these male college kids with 24-28 inch waists nowadays.
Dana- Book of Mormon is so much more cynical than Bernstein's mass. Although I guess I can see it being familiar with both. The Mass seems so much more earnest in sensibility, while Book of Mormon seems like it is mocking things, and then yet, the holy is still there. I mean, they are both good, and I would not suggest taking a work trip to either...

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Yeah, that's pretty much the biggest point of commonality I can think of.

I'm definitely on the side of Christmas lists. With my family living so far away, it would be really hard for me to keep track of what they want and need. Does my nephew want those socks with robots on them? Of course! And is he a grown man with a (robotics) job who has already bought himself four pair? Very possibly. A list is the only way to know for sure.

I went rogue last night and bought my mother clothes. We'll see how that turns out.

Ok, got the leaves done. 4 40 gallon bags, one 30. And that was only 4 houses and street & there are still leaves on the trees.
Not sure how the rest of my plans for the day are gonna go. I don't think work is happening tomorrow. Definitely not going into office.

Woohoo! Successfully made an andouille corn chowder. The sausage isn't fabulous, but the result is pretty good.
