Iām actually a little surprised by the verdict. Iām old enough to remember Fitzmas, how excited we all were beforehand, and how crushingly disappointing it ended up being.
āLife is mainly comedy plus tragedy. And eating through both.ā
Craig Parkinson is a delight (in spite of his roles).
The American people have got to know whether or not their former President is a crook. Well, we have an answer: heās a crook.
I just had a tradesperson offer a bit of a discount because āwe like to take care of our seniors.ā Not used to being called a āsenior,ā although I suppose I do qualify.
āNo, you donāt get to tell me what to doā*I* tell *you* what to do.ā

Truth, truth!
i understand the allure of the hate-read but the news is tiresome enough without ingesting the opinions of fuckwads
Then there was the time that my Mom had to explain that I was going to a small college in So. Cal., and not Harvard Med.
And that's how you could be driving down the street in Provo, Utah late one night in the late '70s and see that there was a building on a side street that had a sign over it that read, "S&M Toy Company, Provo, Utah."
The business was so successful that it was awarded Small Businessman of the Year Award by the SBA in 1975. (Somewhere there's a nice picture of the four of them posing in the White House with President Ford, Senator Garn, Congressman McKay, and whoever the head of the SBA was at the time.)
Once upon a time, there were two couples, Mr. and Mrs. Stone and Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell, who went into business together and built up a small but very successful business making and selling toys and novelties. (E.g., animal-themed waterproof beanbags, intended as bath toys, called "The Mini Pets.")
Have you heard the good news of S & M Toys of (I kid you not) Provo, Utah? (Sadly, they went out of business decades ago. But it was a real company!)
hello, good morning
i just witnessed someone use the acronym ābdsmā to mean ābusiness development, sales, and marketingā and i have never been so glad to have my camera off
For years Iāve wondered when I would see my alma mater in a crossword. Finally happened!
I just say āGen Jonesā and people ignore me. Of course, the grey hair helps with that too.
Oh yeah, I'd watch that! (I really loved him as Augustus. A lot.)
TIL that Aaron Burrās maternal grandfather was Jonathan Edwards.
To be fair, the locust tree is also pretty much a plague. At least it is in the climate where I live.

It looks like I may actually have found someone to clean up the chaotic jungle my yard has turned into. Will know more Thursday. Possible snag: how much money are they going to want for it?
Cold, cold line: āDo I want Justice? I want to have nightmares when you tell me what you did to them.ā
Just a reminder that I am a huge AmĆ©lie fan. Enjoy this mashupāI know I did! vimeo.com/227931080

vimeo.comWe did church online yesterday (because weather), which meant I got to choose my own wine for communion. I chose a nice Marsala. Jesus was *fortified*, lemme tell ya.
That sums it up perfectly. 2 years since COVID turbocharged my autoimmune crap.
Thatās epic. Almost makes me regret I stopped reading that paper. (Almost.)
I tried to word a post such that it would be picked up on a particular feed, and it hasnāt. Iām inexpressibly disappointed.
Iām going to have to re-read this excerpt many times for it to fully sink in. A *lot* to think aboutāand to act onāhere. Which is also a long way of saying: time for me to pre-order the book!
An excerpt from VERY FINE PEOPLE from December 2020, which contemplates a guy named Joe, and defines the adults in the room, the real world, socialism, while pondering: What comes after Joe?
Our nation is founded in supremacy.
The question before us is:

What Do We Do Now?
Excerpting a chapter of Very Fine People, which releases June 25, and is now available for presale wherever books are sold.
The book ponders three questions. This is the second one.
Just to be clear, itās a Tornado Watch *and* a Flood Watch *and* a Severe Thunderstorm Warning all at once.
I swear, if I have to get up in the middle of the night to go hide in the basement, Iām gonna punch a Deity in the ānads once I come back up.
A second tornado watch has hit the neighborhood.
(Second one of the day, that is.)

Welp, looks like weāre gonna call church on account of rain. (I.e., severe thunderstorm warning and flood watch.) canāt say Iām disappointed. I was supposed to cook for 10, and now I donāt have to.
What a gorgeous garmentāand great discussion of what itās about.
I got my grades back, which means I can officially say goodbye to the semester, and I've gotten a lot of new followers lately, so it seems like a great day to talk about one of my most favorite historical garments of all time: Countess Greffulheās tea gown.
Iām starting to think that Emma Sears was a pretty smart draft pick for Racing Louisville. (Also smart of them to have re-upped her already.)
Dune: Part 2 is described as āepic.ā After personally running a trial, I can confirm.
