Yesterday at 9 a.m., I told someone at my work to have a "Happy Monday." With absolute sincerity.I don't even know who I am anymore.
So Glad I Didn't Spill Anything
Went to a party at the National Archives last week, and I ate striped bass next to.........the Magna Carta!
Pin Jockeys
Went to a bowling alley in Maryland that has to be the coolest bowling alley around... straight out of a time warp! I won't call it a dive because it was pristinely preserved. Someone call the National Register of Historic Places!
I must have been inspired - take a look:
Mild Curses, Volume Four
- May your efforts to fold a fitted bed sheet always turn out poorly.
- May you enthusiastically wave hello to a stranger who is in fact waving to someone standing behind you.
- May one of your shoes cease to fit you, for reasons no one is entirely sure of.
Fair Enough
Got the chance to check out a county fair last weekend right before the last day - and of course, we couldn't miss the blue ribbon produce.
Those are some mighty fine beets, at least to my untrained eye. What makes this plate of beets better than some other plate of beets though? Is there a book of vegetable standards somewhere?
In retrospect, it probably wasn't a good idea to leave the prize-winning tomato sitting out.
Acclaimed cookie baker Betty Hawthorne of Upper Marlborohas a bit of a dark side.
Note to self: Next time, don't wear black jeans if there is a possibility of eating funnel cake topped with powdered sugar.
But like a half-eaten carmel apple woefully dropped to the ground too soon, all good things must come to an end. Goodbye, County Fair Season! Goodbye sweet summer!

"Hi, this is Steve from BMW. Just wanted to let you know that your vehicle is ready to be picked up any time today or tomorrow, thanks."
If only that was actually for me...
