As Mark Train never said: "Report of my death have been greatly exaggerated."

Sometimes when I'm running, I think of my body like Queen's "I'm in Love with My Car".
And sometimes I think of my body like Adam Sandler's "Piece of Shit Car".

Ha!
Also: I haven't read the word "harlot" in quite a while - I like it!
It reminded me of ( possibly apocryphal) :
Jean Harlow mispronounced Margot Asquith's (wife of British PM) first name as "Mar - got".
Ms Asquith said "The T is silent. As in Harlow".

I don't know if my take on Tuesday will be popular with my fellow Lefties, but:
THE highest priority for D strategists should be to assess what had more impact: what we said, or growing revulsion for Trump.
If the latter, and he croaks before midterms...

These ingrates have toys. Treats. Cat Trees.
They are psychopaths who hold me in obvious contempt, and the day they figure out how to work a can opener, I'll likely be found decaying a few days later by a UPS delivery person.

I am liking these new-to-me shows now:
"Maigret"

"Down Cemetary Road" (Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson, from from Mick Herron's book as is the incomparable "Slow Horses")

I was liking "Professor T", but they committed an unpardonable sin, and I stopped watching it.

I was awakened by unusual sounds in my bedroom at around 3am.
Evidently, I had left a dresser drawer partway open, and my darling (by which I mean "idiot") cats were furiously scratching and clawing, pulling all of my athletic socks out and on to the floor.

Now my watch is chiding me for exercising too much.
It's always something.
I may have to break up with this watch.
Or at least start seeing other watches.

I think all the words I would guess after first guess have been used.
So I tried a lower value word instead, just happened to work out for three.
Luck.

The Affordable Tool That Can Fill Cracks In Your Concrete Driveway - House Digest Got cracks in your driveway? All you need to fix them yourself is a tube of self-leveling or non-sag concrete caulk, depending on the type of crack.

Context is everything.
I'm repairing my driveway myself.
.
This sentence from the article I was reading should probably not stand alone:
"If your crack is relatively uniform, self-leveling caulk will flow into it evenly with no extra work."

Up until age 35 or so, I drank coffee black, no sugar.
Then I started using cream or half and half, mainly because I was traveling to many different offices, and the coffee was undrinkable swill.
The habit stuck.
But, this week, I'm going back to black.
I ask for your patience...
