The box containing all the boards and hardware weighs 115 pounds. “Not actual size” in the assembly instructions made me chuckle.

Next villain I write about will be the Dog-Ear Bandit. Sneaks into people's homes and folds down corners of pages in their books.

And the humans were overthrown easily because they were intellectually lazy and passive and, as shown by Professor Antelle, content to abandon all rational thought and beg for a sugar cube like an ape in a zoo. I think this is the novel’s main point.

I’m confused and it still hasn’t rained, so no, Language Guy Here, I’m not happy. On the other hand, I’m done with classes for the week and just drank a fantastic beer, so I’m not not-happy. Now I’m worried I misused a hyphen.

I mentioned a little while ago that I planned to convert a sitting room off our bedroom into a walk-in closet/dressing room for my wife for our 25th anniversary. Well, about 85% of that project happened (it wasn’t as passive as it sounds) this past weekend. Door and vanity table still to come.

Share yer mug... The one I'm using at the moment happens to have an image from the book cover of my 2020 novel The Great American Deception. The narrator of the book (and its sequel), a robot coffee machine named Arjay, is holding a mug of the most delicious coffee in the universe.

Those who do any #gardening might know this, but just in case: after your #daylily finishes blooming, it will bloom again if you
-cut the stems close to the base
-remove some/most of the brown, dead leaves
-water it regularly
Mine have #flowers again and again through summer and into fall.
