Saving the world, one pointless act at a time.
I want a new version of the Supernanny in which an amazing British caregiver oversees the elder care that is now a part of so many of our families, delivering hard truths to those of us in these situations. Every sibling has a different opinion how it should be done, and I would like a referee.

One of my kids is studying to become an English teacher so I got them an Advent calendar of mini books that are the classics of literature. Day one does not bode well: Wuthering Heights by...Zatho Baesor??

Stranger Things feels like the most Gen X show ever. I mean, back in the 80s they literally would come on the TV and say "It's 10 o'clock. Do you know where your kids are?" And mostly people did not.

Overheard at church: when God talks to you, it's like this little voice on your shoulder telling you "Don't get the Cheetos!"
Uhm, I think I need to know more about these Cheetos..

Just thinking about the last time I went with my mom to her church. As people entered the chapel she said loudly (due to hearing loss) "We have more than our share of cripples in this ward." Then she added as someone walked past. "Look! There goes another one!"

It's time to play my favorite party game: find the most upsetting book in my 99 YO Dad's book shelves. Today's winner. It's possible that this was a gift from my tea party sister and he never read it but it's still gross. On the upside he's reading Hidden Figures and worked at NASA in the 60s so..

Things my dad refrigerates that I would never: syrup, peanut butter, bread.
It's hard to believe I grew up in the same house.

Capitalism lets the corporations take your input and data and turn it into AI that then takes your job. People should be compensated for the use of our data! Cut work hours and give everyone UBI to make up the difference. I'm all for AI, but fair is fair.

Me, every Halloween growing up: We didn't really get any trick or treaters last night.
My friends: Which house is yours?
Me: You go past the cemetery at the end of town, about a quarter mile up the lane, then we live at the top of that hill...
Oh well, more Good and Plenty and Almond Joy for us!

Been watching Task, by the same creator as Mare of Eastown, and it also takes place in Delco. The accents are seriously so good with one huge exception. It's LANCaster, not LanCASTer. That's the CA pronunciation! They've got "wooter" down pat, and there was even a scrapple reference. Come on, guys!

My least favorite aspect to living in AZ. We have snake proofing but this guy must have gotten into the garage when it was open. It was literally on the doormat that leads from the garage into the house when he stepped out over it. He only saw it when he had one leg on each side of it.

Today I wasn't in a big hurry after my ten mile bike ride so I agreed to let the pharmacist give me the 4 vaccines I was eligible for. After he finished the last one he said "Yeah, you might not be feeling great tomorrow."

Costco is beloved for many reasons, not least a particularly stellar food-court deal: a hot dog and soda for $1.50. When a reporter asked the company’s former C.E.O. what it would mean if the price were raised, he replied, “That I’m dead.”
Can the Golden Age of Costco Last?
With its standout deals and generous employment practices, the warehouse chain became a feel-good American institution. In a fraught time, it can be hard to remain beloved.

We haven't been to the Big Island in twenty years and we are headed back in December. We tried to find the place we stayed last time and guess what? It no longer exists. That whole area is under lava now.
