You might like Christopher Moore's latest book, "Anima Rising". It hits on Frankenstein, Freud, Klimt, and Vienna at the turn of the century. Fascinating look at the good and bad sides of his creations.

I still regret that we didn't get to New Haven to eat Apizza while you were there. Damnable Covid, ruined all of our plans.

Not the way I planned to start my morning.

Every morning at 4:30 a.m., like clockwork. This is why there are towels on every horizontal surface. And yet this morning, she sat on the towel and horked on my glasses. Ugh!

I loved when my mom went on the Atkins diet. Pork rinds for snacks? Sure, they must be healthy.

The skins of grapes have tannins. Great for wine making, not so great for eating fresh.

This is great, as long as this isn't out in front of a senior living complex. πŸ€£πŸ‘»

I think they came out 10 years or more ago. Dark and snarky response to the positive life affirmations.

Like those sarcastic, non-affirmation posters.

We had a cat who would put her head behind the curtains and think she was invisible. πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

Was that a paint job choice, or are they just lousy at parking and lane changing?

I need one that says "No soliciting, proselytizing, or sharing of the good word".

Our city now picks up all three weekly. No way can I fill up the recycling bin in 7 days.

The crows in my neighborhood drop them on the street, wait for cars to crush them, then swoop in for their prize.

You need to toast them. Walnuts skins are high in tannins, like red wine. Get rid of the skins et voila, they are delicious.

I love the checkers who scan my cold things so I can pack that first.

If she had been wearing a condom, would she still have been arrested?

Yes, these are not kids (except, apparently, mentally).

Yep, I could have purchased a nice used car for what this cost me.😬 But it's been at least 20 years since the last time we re-paved after putting in sewer lines, so we got our $$ worth.

I had my driveway repaved and they did an excellent job.

This is why I had such a hard time with Dante's Divine Comedy. He was calling out the actions of his contemporaries. I'm really not up on 14th century Florentine culture.

Bradbury is who turned me on to SF. Then I discovered Heinlein. Got sidetracked by Frank Herbert.

We washed all of the windows and screens last week. Spent the evening congratulating ourselves on a job well done. Hoping this upcoming storm doesn't ruin our pristine views.
