I read. I knit. I put two spaces after periods and colons. I kind of want to move to Canada or Sweden or Iceland (no mosquitoes!), but I also don't want to be one of "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas."

I find this very funny (which I say without a hint of laughter in my voice), because *Fiddler on the Roof* is about Ukrainian Jews who are oppressed by Russia.
Also, he wasn't supposed to be immortal. That's not what we asked for (at least, I sure didn't).

Driving out to my in-laws on Saturday, I had WXRT on the radio. It was a decades weekend, with 70s music Friday, 80s on Saturday, and 90s on Sunday. Johnny Mars was on mid-afternoon, and he played song after song after song that I sang along and car-danced to, embarrassing the kids no end, I bet.

Would this be a good time to admit that I call him President Zelensexyy? I know I shouldn't reduce people to their looks (and I try not to, really), but damn, that man is so easy to look at. Add on the integrity and coolheadedness in the face of stupid bullies, and I'm weak in the knees.

Friday is my usual grocery shopping day, but we did the boycott/blackout. I'm still not convinced it'll have much effect, but it certainly wouldn't if no one did it.
