My husband and I went out for dinner last night. One of the waitstaff called us “cute”. Does this mean we’re so old we’re going to drop dead soon?

Ah, man. Bob Weir. I’ll miss him and his ponytail. Well, I’ve already missed his ponytail for a long time, but you know what I mean. We all get older, and at some point we die, but this makes me sad.

At least this person is honest about what’s behind all the “fake Christian” arguments. Inventing neologisms is soooo important.

It’s too late where I live. What used to be a slow, relaxing experience has turned into bustle and waiting in line. To which I say, if Christians want to eat out on Christmas they need to keep their own restaurants open.
Christians, stop appropriating our Chinese food Christmas tradition. Go home and worship your tree or whatever

Just sitting here listening to the Animals’ version of “Please Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” which is 90 seconds long. Whatever happened to short songs that have days of meaning in them?

Man, Todd Snider and Raul Malo in one month is a bit much. I can’t say anything about Malo’s music that hasn’t already been said, but I can’t say anything testify that he was a genuinely nice and kind person. He will be missed.

So I broke a toe this morning, just in time to not cook for thanksgiving. I have an enormous boot to hobble around in. Life is interesting.
