'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Faced with a choice of no flour or Very Fancy Expensive Flour at the local Whole Foods, I went with the latter, a Bob's Red Mill Organic bag. Turns out that it makes a much more denser than normal loaf, but oh my goodness, it really does taste very nice!

I felt quite proud of myself for finding it -- the shelves were empty, but looking way way up, there were some unopened shipping cartons labeled Bob's Red Mill that I asked a strapping young store worker to fetch down. I lavished him with praise for it, observed that I had been baking my own bread "before it became trendy!" and then ran off, metaphorically cackling with glee.

Happy birthday to young Mr Looked-like-a-tooth! Your account of the supposedly linear progression of time is not making sense to me, Cindy, but does anyone's ever?

Because books.

I think of Looked Like a Tooth quite fondly as Chiclet. Happy birthday to him!

Royalty checks are always a victory. Nice, David!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Oh me too, Amy! HBD, Chicklet. Mr. Chiclet now, I guess.

Woot! Royalty check! In whatever form it manifests.

(still puzzling over one rousing. OH!)

I'm...the only person left alive, with the possible exception of your aged Aunt Erma, who still uses Woot!, aren't I?

I think if you didn't qualify based on last year but would this year, you can get a check next year in your taxes or something? Still a weird combo of metrics between 2018 2019 and 2020...I got one because of my sabbatical last year, even though most years I'd have been above the cutoff. Yay for filing my taxes early, I guess! I plan to donate it, since it looks like I don't have to pay it back even if this year's income is over the limit.

Our wings are not tired.

Well, I do, but then again I might be your aged Aunt!

Happy birthday to Mr. Chiclet!

IRS page is still telling me I qualify for a payment and they have my direct deposit information but they don't have a pay date for me. Don't know what that's about.

Thrive to spite them

It's in the news that the store will reopen on May 1 with hours of 12-6. Haven't heard official word yet.

Need to jump on actually getting some masks.
