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

Happy anniversary, David and Jaqueline!

Thank you! I just made her a salmon fillet with sauteed leeks, and a spot of lemon asparagus pesto.

And a martini.

It's too cold and grey out to go eating outdoors tonight.

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

Cindy, I'm so sorry you and your son are dealing with this. I wish you good and long-term solutions that your insurance will cover.

Happy Anniversary, Zmayhem! Here's to many more!

Happy anniversary, David and JZ! I also feel compelled to tell you that I just made Brocco Tacos for dinner, and they were fucking delicious.

Our wings are not tired.

My favorite bar in Salt Lake is getting ready to reopen and I want to go to there and give them all my moneys

Oh amyparker, I was inspired to write a note to them on their contact page thanking them for taking their patrons' and staff's health seriously and Mark Alston wrote back the sweetest response. "Thank you very much for your supportive words. It would be hard to express how much they are appreciated right now."

Made me feel good about writing. I've been doing a lot more of that lately, including writing to 7-11 corporate over the totally unmasked food handling staff in Fort Myers that made me turn around and walk out. That was before the recent CDC change. They responded with a case # that they were investigating. Yeah, I don't expect to hear more.

Now I want Brocco Tacos for dinner.

Wait, what are Brocco Tacos? Because that sounds like broccoli and that sounds very wrong to me.

My stupidity tax is $2800 this year, I never filled out a State withholding form and never looked at paycheck statements to notice that for all of 2020 only $62 was withheld for state income tax.

oh, I was wrong stupidity tax of $3900.

Eeeep! Good you found out now before more of 2021 has passed.

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

Timelies all!

Mr. S woke up at 1am(after falling asleep while I was reading him a book last night) and wanted in bed with us. Which of course meant that the rest of the night's sleep was messed up. He's also been very annoying all day.
