My excitement so ar today is that I got to add a grey tufted titmouse to my life list. I'm glad I finally started filling the bird feeder again. They were quick to come back, those tiny, flying dinosaurs.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

My 35th high school reunion is tonight, and I am NOT going, because I've seen the RSVP list on the evite, and 99% of them are not a group of people I care to be around, even for an evening. But one of my high school BFFs is going to be in town (because she is going to the reunion), so we're having dinner today with our other high school BFF (who is also going to the reunion). Dinner will be great, because I can catch up with them without having to go to the Real Housewives of Cincinnati shindig.

And then next week I'm going to Colorado for a very long weekend with my college roommates, with one day with my brother tacked on the end. So between this weekend and the Colorado trip, I will be strolling down memory lane for about 10 days.

I feel the same way about my high school reunions. Not many people participate, and the ones that do I don't have any strong feelings about.

The fact that the reunion is happening does make me want to re-watch Grosse Pointe Blank, though.

Always Anti-fascist!

Looking at linoleum makes me want to watch GPB. I wrote a pandemic-update fanfic of it...it took years, but people have caught up with me about it.(Much like almost everything about me since high school, actually. )

Wow found out my cousin (who’s only 40 and has 3 small kids!) had a stroke on the golf course! Apparently he was in the icu but they just moved him to less critical. So scary. He’s a pilot so this might kill his career, too. Yikes.

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

That is worrisome. Recovery~ma to your cousin, meara.

Speaking of slutty veg (because why wouldn’t we), I understand the cucurbits (squash family) will cross pollinate like whoa. Which is probably ok when your butternuts mix with your acorn squash, but when they get it on with melons, things can get weird.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Is there any connection between turnips and catnip?

Follow the money.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Follow the money.

Hah! Good one! 😀

Our wings are not tired.

Yikes, recovery~ma for your cousin, meara. Scary stuff.

I tested negative this morning! I might have pneumonia or just chest soreness from the abuse of the last few days. But, I may have dreamed some of the symptoms. I'm going to see how the day goes.
