But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Is that The Bristol with 2 places in KC? That's where Maria and I had their amazing Sunday brunch. Which is well worth it.

That's the one, Strix. Their food is awesome.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good going, Strix!

I just re-joined OK Cupid for the first time in years. I've been trying a couple of apps, but they are both the kind where both people have to agree to make the match, and honestly, I just reject everyone up front. So I'm willing to see who comes to me.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Seconding the recommendation for Bristol's. Their crab cakes stand up to anything I had in Maryland.

Our wings are not tired.

Nice, Strix!

But stll, it would be possible to make up for lost time, right?

Absolutely! It is a very good thing to know your neighbors. I always let them know that if someone pulls into the driveway with a moving truck it is not me and to call authorities.

Now I want to sleep in a hammock, and we are dipping into the 60s tonight so it would be totally awesome, hung between a couple palm trees of course so as not to give ND nightmares.

Well, I watched a couple movies on my YouTube.tv today, but now my television is hating me and not working. Something about the resolution with the computer and Logmein, and HDMI, and I don't know, but it isn't happy. Was super chill to watch for so long today though. Son and I watched Life of Pi and Office Space today. Neither of us had seen Pi, and he had never seen Office Space, which clearly had to be remedied.

eta: now he knows where so many memes come from, also totally on board with the printer smash

Office Space is classic!

So I know you're not supposed to, but I've totally spent my way out of my winter doldrums. Among other things, I got this duvet cover, and it's so fun!!

Oh, I love that Jesse! Very fun and the colors are quite appealing.

We just bought a new tv and soundbar. Ours was really past its expiration date. New one is super fancy. I am going to lie to my sister/bookkeeper and tell her we bought datacenter equipment.

I'm watching Master Chef Junior--hey, I wanted to see Ramsey be nice-ish--and seeing these kids aged 9-13 diving into filet mignon with verve and confidence makes me wonder why anyone thinks teenagers older than this don't have the wherewithal to become activists.

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

Apparently the UAE has possibly had a role in White House policy-making. So that's fun.

So it looks like Mueller is... following the money. What a novel concept.

We never see our neighbors in the winter (save for shoveling).

Yup, this. And we haven't had any huge storms where we have to do a whole brigade, so I've barely met the new people. Soon as it gets less awful, we're doing a driveway firepit. But really, we're all just hibernating right now.
