I'm at a Cleveland Guardians game chaperoning 6 11 year old boys.
Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

43° at a baseball game is not the same as 43° at a football game. I stand behind that science.

I love buying books from ThriftBooks because sometimes I spend $5 to receive what appears like a precious heirloom and sometimes I receive a chihuahua's previous chew toy

"We'll meet by the crossroads after dark. That's what we arranged."

This is a trope that usually doesn't end well.

Three cheers for Philip Glass, whose Solo Piano record has been my boon companion for decades whenever I'm painting. (I notice that Glass didn't use the current administration's name for the center in his letter.)

A Finnish word for a coward is jänishousu, or “rabbit pants.” A slang Dutch version is papkindje, which means “porridge kid.” And a Turkish phrase for a wimp or coward is muhallebi çocuğu. It means “child of pudding.” Or, if you prefer, you could translate it as “custard boy.”

Several times so far in Anna Karenina it's been mentioned that you hear the rustle of a dress before a woman enters a room. There must have been some loud dresses in Tolstoy's time.
