I know The Muppet Christmas Carol is amazing,

Yet another reason I feel so cynical.

What the fuck is wrong with people?

Well, he made it! Happy 100th, Dick Van Dyke!

I grew up on Mary Poppins. (Still one of my favorites!) And I enjoyed seeing him dance at 93 when he made his appearance in Mary Poppins Returns years ago.

And I started rewatching The Dick Van Dyke Show months ago—a show I loved and grew up on.

Right here!

This is a picture of Chicago Avenue. Right across the street from the Kroger parking lot.

Tapeworm started out on the left side of the building. But then they moved to the right side—where they were (I believe) for most of its time in business.

Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, I’m trying a little under 10 recipes. And they’re *almost* exclusively from The Golden Girls Cookbook.

Why? I don’t know. I found it on Hoopla, and I’m just going for it!

(Plus, who doesn’t love The Golden Girls?)

The longer I live, the more I realize that there are people who think Alaska and Hawaii are to the south of the continental United States because of maps like this:

We went to a parade tonight.

All I’m saying is: I have questions.

It's hard to take much pleasure in anything these days.

But after years of hearing how old and tired and incognizant Biden was, I'm sure getting a kick out of watching him decline.

Trump supporters,

See this?

This you.

This is a picture that we’ve had hung in our house for years.

Occasionally, I look at it and think, “Wait. Were they hiding Jesus’s face in the tree?”

I’m not making this up, right? You see it too?

The highlight of my night was being on the winning team that narrowly won trivia night at the local bar, and one of the final questions was naming the 2009 movie shot locally that I happened to be a featured extra in! (And in which I got to give a disgusted look to Anna Kendrick as I walked by.)

Horror is often overlooked. But at least John Carpenter got his star on April 3. And he graciously let Robert Englund Halloween day.

Do you think that if he ever wants a thrill he just grabs himself by the neck?

My daughter loves everything about Count Chocula except the marshmallows.

And I’ve been having a hard time processing this information.

Neighborhood Halloween decorations have encouraged me to learn the difference between a sickle and a scythe.

I just realized the other day at the grocery store that they still made the old, classic, chalky Flintstones Vitamins. So I bought them.

Will our kids like them? Who knows. I guess if they don’t, I’ll be eating them.

My hands on a roller coaster vs. my hands when I’m at the dentist.

I’ve heard about these British candies but could not find them anywhere close to home. So of course, I had to order them.

Can confirm they are MUCH better than Whoppers!

A week late, but RIP Robert Redford.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid will always be one of my favorites.

Trying to decide if this new emoji is supposed to be when you’re feeling like Steve Buscemi or Peter Lorre.

I’m enjoying the hot dog–eating this year because it perfectly encapsulates how I feel.
