Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

I found out earlier that there's a raccoon mama and raccoon babies under my mom and stepdad's garage. My mom has named them Pootie (mama) and the Toots (babies).

Pootie and the Toots sounds like the name of a band. I just can't decide if it sounds like a band I'd listen to or not.

Raccoon babies!! Aww.

David, i figured lifting big bags of soil is probably a good reason I’ve been going to the gym? It’s crazy though, because like hauling each one (of three) up a flight of stairs was exhausting…but I used to weigh 60 pounds more than I do now, and I did that all the time??!

This too shall pass.

We have good news today, and a reason for celebration! Today we celebrate the birth of Steph L. Happiest birthday, Teppy! May you have a delightful day and may the year to follow be filled with joy.

How is the hand recovery? Any sign of Evil?

Raccoons are very cute when they live far away from me! Preferably via video from remote areas.

Hey, hey! Happy Birthday, Steph! Hope you enjoy the day and that the coming year brings all kinds of happy.

Punishingly Intricate

Happy birthday, Steph!!!

I just had a giant bowl of strawberries and black raspberries from the market , bananas, plain Icelandic yogurt, a little granola and chia seeds. That should power me to accomplish something?? today? It was delicious anyway.

That sounds super yum, lisah! I bought some strawberries yesterday but not from a market... just from an Aldi. Ha! I hope they're good, though.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Happy Birthday Steph!

I prefer my cute raccoons in commercials or Youtube videos, not fleeing from where they've just crashed through a ceiling.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Pootie and the Toots sounds like the name of a band. I just can't decide if it sounds like a band I'd listen to or not.

I was just thinking that same thing about Necrotic Lymph Node.

Happy Birthday!
