I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I've read the G-string Murders and liked it very.uch! Have not read her autobiography - I have been fascinated you GRL for a long time but have somehow shied away from reading that.

Timing the market is impossible to do reliably, they say.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, apparently.

I made it to the mid-season finale of B99, but I don't think I'll actually catch up before Will Shortz is on tonight's episode! Which issue makes me feel more like Amy than I ever have.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Quiet Sunday here. (well, as quiet as it could be with Mr. S around...)

Our wings are not tired.

Off shortly to a wake. Guy we used to work with got pancreatic cancer. Found out then was gone within a month. DH visited him in the hospital a couple days before he was gone. Funeral mass is tomorrow.

I went for a drive and went out to the lake. There are several places to pull over and look out over the lake and listen to the silence. Other cars pulled over at various distances on both sides of the road and turned off their engines. No one got out of their cars. No movement and no sound but the wind for twenty minutes. It was like a scene out of a Sergio Leone movie or French mystery. The occasional car drove past, the drivers staring at us.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

We are firmly in the toddler eating stage where everything I give her that isn't fruit or cheese is icky.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I so misread "toddler eating stage" at first

fruit and cheese is practically a balanced diet, she'll be fine - as long as you don't eat her!

I do threaten to eat her cheeks at least once a day.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Heck, if I do fruit and cheese all day, I consider myself to be doing pretty well at age 47!
