It's been an adventure.

And now I have a long list of books to read and TV movies to watch that were written/produced in the late 70s through mid 80s.

It took me more than a moment of searching IMDB and Wikipedia to discover that I was remembering THE CRADLE WILL FALL (1983), which was based on a book by Mary Higgins Clark.

I have to say...this sent me down the rabbit hole. My brain was insisting that WHEN THE BOUGH BREAKS was a 1980s TV movie that was largely populated by the cast of Guiding Light playing their Guiding Light Characters.

Do cheap cigarettes still exist?

Wouldn’t a sensual carny smell like heap cigarettes and funnel cake?

Any picture of a forest of Lillipution mushrooms will always be near the top of my list.

Now I'm wondering if I need to make my own list of my favorite mushrooms/fae/aliens for 2025?

and yet, this doesn't surprise me.

Ha! "Poety." I was thinking poetic, but that's not what my fingers were typing.

I reorganized the kitchen to find spaces for a few of the gifts I received. Other than that and cooking dinner, I was a lazy bum who ate too much.

I just searched, "most recent homophobic racist to die," and DuckDuckGo first suggested the DOJ and then offered Brigit Bardot.

I know the DOJ thing was about hate crime statistics, but there is a certain sardonic truth there.

I was actually thinking of pennants, believe it or not. But let's pretend I meant jewelry.

Yes, of course you do. D'oh.

Merychippus to you, too!
