The picture is from far away, but blowing it way up I can kind of show you the buzzards that have lived with us this year. One is an adult and one is a baby that was born and raised in the building they're standing on.

The young salesman read my mind. Barry told him I was going to have surgery and the salesman said, "I'll bet you're counting down the days until you can go hiking." So I showed him my countdown.

I think maybe a team of Midwestern mother's that travel around the country giving parents a day off. Who could you trust your kids with more than a mideastern mom? And when you got home and and they left, you'd find three casseroles in the freezer for nights when you didn't have time to cook.

So Ryan Gosling and Ryan Reynolds are both Canadian, they look alike, they share a first name, and now I've noticed that they've both used the phrase "fecal Jackson Pollock" on the Graham Norton Show. Are we sure they aren't the same person? #ryanreynolds #ryangosling

I remember driving across Texas and learning the highways from one town to the next. I know that GPS is great for us, but I do miss planning a trip and looking at the map ahead of time. Road trips with others means that I can't, because they want to rely on GPS. I miss using that part of my brain.

They survived humans systematically killing humans. Not aliens from another planet killing us, we did it to ourselves. How can that be? And yet, I look around...
