I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Also, no moose sightings yet despite all the signs that claim they may be crossing.

When I drove through the Lake Superior-adjacent parts of Ontario I saw those signs all over the place. I didn’t see a single moose, though.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I do nothing to counter the stereotype the GenX abuses the fuck out of the ellipsis, huh? Oh, well. I'll own it.
The ellipsis are our Precious.

Always Anti-fascist!

If it weren't for my parens thing, I'd have an ellipsis thing.

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

Timelies all!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I mean, if you're a germaphobe and/or not willing to eat food that's hanging on a wooden peg on a wall

You had me at "donut wall."

Our wings are not tired.

Sheryl, I hope that Mr. S is placed in a school that is a good fit.

Right?

The ellipsis are our Precious.

Also, "Right?"

I heard on IPR of NPR in Iowa, say that the states picked their own songs for the roll call.

Yeah. But he walked out to "Small Town" by Mellencamp, which I loved.

I wonder if Bruce will show up this year? Seems like the zeitgeist has moved past having Springsteen at your rally.

I am finding myself hopeful these days. Makes it easier to sleep. But it is weird to think about being 2 degrees from POTUS. If it happens, which I hope it does.
