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.
I’m in Quebec where it is considerably less cold than it is at home in Chicago by some fluke. Still plenty cold and snowy, and we happened to be right on scene when the St-Lawrence surged over its banks the other night. Wild!
meara and I had an exchange recently about something that she pointed out had happened when she was 23. 23! I am agog and amazed at how long we’ve been adjunct family to one another.
I am making Brussel’s Sprouts with bacon as my dish to pass. I forgot to buy Blue Cheese or Feta Crumbles, which I really like with it, but people other than my mom don’t always like all the stinky things in a dish to pass, so perhaps that is good. We also like rutabaga.

I just “saw” meara on Facebook tease it Holly about how she was fourteen!
It has become all blue skies here! Very pretty. I think we might go to the zoo on New Year’s Eve instead…
I still cannot believe Holli is a full-on adult with her own business and publishing career!
I went to a lovely holiday party last night (did take a covid test in advance), and over-indulged in seven fishes and lovely holiday cookies. Now I am baking the maple-walnut pie for tonight's dessert, and in a minute I will take the dog out for a much-needed walk. Later we will do breakfast and presents at my sister's house.
Aargh! I know I am getting old when I mix up Holli with shrift’s “real name”. I was so shocked when I learned it.
I discovered the buffista random quote generator and sought out the people who made the funny.
My origin story as well. I didn’t lurk for long.
Vortex was on Salon and got me to join in late 1999.
I made monkey bread prepped last night and put in the oven this morning, and it is delicious.
Merry Christmas/Happy Last Sunday of 2022 from a surprisingly balmy Seattle (50 F). I'm glad the ice melted in time for Christmas but my body is confused about no longer needing multiple layers and a puffy coat to venture outside.

Love to be out here in these streets giving incongruity.
Just went for a dip in the rooftop pool! It’s a balmy 20 degrees (F) outside with light snow. Wonderfully contradictory sensations.
