LOVED the article, Phil, even though it dashes my hopes and dreams. 😂

Your friendship (which began even before I moved back to New England) has been a great joy in my life. Thank you for being you, Laura!

Also, my favorite flower is the Snapdragon, whose meaning is…devious? Hmmm, I need better PR. 🤨

The censoring Eye of CBS can’t stop @colbertlateshow.bsky.social and free speech.

Happy Penultimate Day Before FriYay! That’s a lot of syllables. I need a nap. 😴

I fear he will *deliberately* escalate it into something worse, since he loves profiting from pain and suffering.

If my first thought on seeing the Snowball Plants was that it’s a cool way to keep “ammo” available for a snowball fight, does that make me a bad person? 😂

Great pictures, Laura! If you ever make it to Asheville NC, be sure to check out the arboretum at Biltmore. I predict you’ll love it.

Coincidence? I think not! Someday, Competitive Cocoa Consumption will be an event in both the summer *and* winter Olympics. 🏅😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm sure all of us train all year for tomorrow's chocolate feast, like the world class chocolate athletes we are. 🍫

Happy FriYay, y'all.

Oh my stars and garters, what a peeptastic selection of marshmallow madness!

This episode came up in a totally different post yesterday where people were praising the brilliant host segment featuring The United Servo Academy Men’s Chorus.

So it’s true what they say: wherever you go, there you are.

I couldn’t remember the associated movie but your reference to in-flight refueling porn jogged my memory. Oh my yes, it was the filet mignon of stink burgers.

One of the best host segments they ever did.

What a great piece! When we moved back to New England after many years away I was delighted to discover Ron’s voice *still* on the radio. He’s a living legend (just like you, Laura).

The most amazing thing about the Clydesdale commercial is that they apparently did not use a CG eagle. I'd assumed that at least the wings appearing as they did were digital, but apparently not. Just a well-trained eagle and a lot of takes. Yeah, the sun is in my eyes, too.

Thank you, Jenny! I shall sign up ASAP.

Thank you!

Incredible work, Jenny. Do you have any plans to make prints? Please make it so. 🖖

Well, after reading Fritz’s post I’ll be looking for dinosaur tracks in my yard, too. My own little Jurassic Pahk.

Laura, I see you’re getting ready for Super Bowl Punday.

I think you used half the birds on my life list, Laura. 🦅

I was going to add chocolate but Aline beat me to it. So, I’ll go with ice cream. Yes, even in the winter.

I love that illustration of the Earth. It attempts to show both western and eastern hemispheres instead of just the usual western. That’s what I call unity! 🌎 (Sadly, emoji’s aren’t quite as enlightened.)

I think we packed 6 weeks of winter into last week. 🥶

Wee doggie Mitzi returning from a grooming session.

Mitzi and I thank you, Sue!
