Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

Herding cats for fun

Thanks for sharing that sweet story about Burt Reynolds. I admire those people skills.

I'm old enough to remember when he posed for a beefcake centerfold with his hairy pelt and big delighted grin.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There was a big poster of that picture in my first post-college house, and we used it in the winter to block the fireplace.

TCG is taking ltc into school today and I have successfully resisted the urge to send her in with a note that says, "daddy got me dressed today".

Our wings are not tired.

I heard so many times how sweet, sensitive, and kind he was. Locally people all out despised Loni Anderson for the harm she did to him. Somehow I have never seen the Smokey movies! So not my thing.

"daddy got me dressed today"

Hahaha, trust me, they have seen worse. Is she liking her school?

There is a youngster across the street from me in Otter Lake and I am amused when he whoops and hollers when the school bus appears over the hill about 6:45 in the morning. His little sister has down syndrome and she has school year round and I think he was jealous that she got picked up by the bus all summer. He certainly is enthusiastic every morning so far when he sees the bus. My first morning smile every day this week.

She loves her new classroom and is doing really well staying through lunch. She is taking cooking and swim after school. Cooking she loved, swim she was a bit terrified of, but I'm hoping she'll adjust. I'm not used to seeing my fearless girl scared. It made me tear up a bit.

Oh dear, I hope seeing other kids enjoy swimming will encourage her.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I wonder if the stage manager I knew at the Burt Reynolds theatre is still there.

I think he turned it over to the community college around 1990, and then was taken over by Maltz maybe around 2000. We saw several shows there last year. It was much smaller and more intimate in the 80s, but not very profitable. It still has been very focused on education from his time to present.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My coworker has also been sick all week, so she hasn't been peppering me with questions and things I already knew. Today she's back in the office, after first making sure I know how sick she still is.

Coding and Sleeping

Sounds like fun.
