"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I do not prefer Ben & Jerry's because their aesthetic is Big Chunks. That said, I do enjoy Americone Dream.

Lately we've focused on supporting the Ice Cream Bar so we've had a lot of their Caramelized Honey ice cream, and Butterscotch in the fridge.

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

I prefer big chunks and texture in ice cream.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

You guys are killing me with the ice cream talk! I may have to hit up the neighborhood gelato place -- they have a ginger/turmeric gelato with pieces of dark chocolate-covered crystallized ginger in it. I haven't tried it yet, but it's #1 on my list. Maybe today.

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

Timelies all!

Lately I've been eating ice cream from a brand called Steve's. I alternate between Southern Banana Pudding and Blackberry Crumble.

Today we actually went out together as a family. Lunch from Baja Fresh, eaten outside at a table, followed by a trip to Leesburg Animal Park, which has been converted to a drive through park.

Now I'm craving a refreshing daquiri ice flavor cone from Baskin Robbins, and ours went out of business more than a year ago.

I really want ice cream but I would have to go into a store to get it...

I also want sushi.

'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"

It used to be that talk of ice cream filled me with sadness, but there are a significant variety of nondairy frozen treats out there, most of which you couldn't tell aren't derived from cows unless I told you. There are still some bright sides to 2020.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Maybe I'll get ice cream when I go up to town to drop off the puppies (they're getting their surgery)

I keep having things I want to post on Twitter or FB but not wanting to put trivial shit on there any more than I have.

So, for your enjoyment, Shit I didn't Tweet:

  • Someone should really do some studies looking at differences in milestones for kids at various ages during lockdown compared with kids the same age 1, 2, 3 years ago.

  • They do not publish the original version of Mr Brown Can Moo anymore.

  • I wonder if face masks make eye contact easier for a significant number of people on the spectrum.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I hope Cashmere got successfully tested yesterday

Tested and results are negative! Woot!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yay!
