The good, the bad, the boring, and the bored.

Greatest baby picture ever.

Free is good:  The US Fish and Wildlife Service announces Fee-Free Days for 2012.  Assuming your calender doesn't run out before then.

Best music video ever made:  Weapon of Choice.

Favorite recent movies:


Current favorite TV shows:

  • Sons of Anarchy  
  • Breaking Bad 
  • House
  • Modern Family

Worst old series that I just watched the entire first season of:

Gretchen Rubin lists seven fall-over-dead boring topics (when other people talk about them):
1. A dream.
2. The recent changes in your child’s nap schedule.
3. The route you took to get here.
4. An excellent meal you once had at a restaurant.
5. The latest additions to your wine cellar.
6. An account of your last golf game.
7. The plot of a movie, play, or movie—in particular, the funny parts.
 [8.  Your favorite music videos
  9.  Your favorite movies
10.  Your favorite TV shows.]

I add:  weather, hobbies, exercise routines, and diets.   What conversations fill you with despair?

Vultures and Annie's hair

MEOW.

Talking to my son on the phone:

Yeah, go ahead and send ... oh!  Sorry, just a vulture ... oh man, two vultures.  So, drop that in the mail ...  oh my god, three vult ... FOUR!!  There are FOUR VULTURES ... 
Mom, don't spoil tomorrow's blog post for me.




Annie has been out of the workaday, button-down office lifestyle for three months, and she's starting to relax.

I AM smiling.
Her hair is starting to relax, too.

A few of our friends have asked us to have a travel map.  I wanted one that beams our exact location like you cool Datastorm people, but that felt like a big bucket of TMI.  Absolute best would be a map where we could plot precise coordinates after we had left a boondocking site.  Now we have settled for a vague map for indicating roughly, in a general way, more or less where we are or have been.  If you want to know our precise physical coordinates, phone us;  we'll make up numbers on the spot after we blow the whistle into your ear.

Here's where we've waddled.  There should be a map on the sidebar, unless you have AdBlock.

A couple of times a week we go into town to watch TV.  My mom shakes her head.  She understands not having TV - they haven't gotten reception for years - but she doesn't understand going out to watch it.  We subscribe to Hulu Plus to see just the shows we like, and they stack up in a pile waiting for us to get to town.  [BREAKING NEWS:  I went to get the link, and I found out YOU can get two free weeks to try it out, and GIVE US two weeks free at the same time. A freakin' twofer!  That's why the link is obnoxiously trebucheted and emboldened now. Everything is going my way today.]

Ech.  This will gross you out.  Have you ever seen anything so huge?  Look at the legs on that thing!  I want to vomit.  Phil says the heat lets everything grow bigger.

Now, check out the bug!

I have a sinus headache which I am treating with reflexology and neck auto-massage.  What self-care do you use that you don't tell people about?
