Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

Omg flea, and I thought the photo fb showed me from 18 years ago of me and the NCistas was old school!! Wow!

Dear Spelling Bee—how was “nuncio” a word yesterday and “milt” is not an acceptable word??? Sure it’s fish sperm but it’s a valid word! Your dictionary is wild!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Spelling Bee seems arbitrary and capricious

Happy sj day! I don't have a fancy teacup to hand but I'll have some tea to celebrate

Good to see you flea. Hold-it-together~ma

Happy Birthday, sj!!!

Hi, flea!

Spelling Bee, you know what you did.

I do so many varieties of puzzles that I have a deal with Spelling Bee. I do 10 words and move along. I can't justify spending any more time on that one. It does not spark that much joy. Ten and done.

eta: That said, I bombed out on the Wordle today. Too many options.

I'm obsessed with getting to Genius. (Which is definitely not to say that I always do!)

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

I feel like the Yolo County Department of Tourism should really get on this.
