I didn’t know what/who Higgs was at first. I had to ask what Higgs farts were. :eek: I’ve been very busy with rehearsals for a cabaret show tonight. I’m in school now and I have some time to catch up on the Dope. ---

I did the “Which '80s Cartoon series are you?” Quiz on Facebook. One of the questions was “Which is your greatest irrational fear” The choices included zombie outbreaks, killer clowns, and sharks in the swimming pool. 😃 ---

Just baked a batch of oatmeal-pecan cookies. It appears about 2 dozen have already disappeared. I’ve been told “Higgs” must have jumped up on the counter and eaten them. This is the counter that’s \*not \*next to the love seat. Yeah. Higgs. :rolleyes: They are yummy, tho! It’s the best oatmeal cookie recipe I’ve ever made, and I made it better by adding cinnamon. Go me! 😃 It’s also good with raisins, but I didn’t have any. ---

When we were emptying the shed the other day, we came across the inflatable dinghy we bought when we were still in FL. Just a little bit ago, we inflated it, and it holds air perfectly! No tears, no rot, no problems at all, except for a missing valve on the inflatable seat. So we’ve got it advertised for sale. That’s been the big excitement of the day. Well, apart from the cookies. 😃 ---

Do you want to know where I work? This is where I work — I had to use the phrase “basic Kindergarten rules apply - if it’s not yours, keep your hands off of it” on a company wide e-mail for receipt of material and orders, because people couldn’t get it through their fat heads that they aren’t special, and that we have a process for this that’s worked very well since it was implemented (by me, at one of the owner’s requests) early last year. And pull up a chair and chat, **Dad**. ---

\*\*Sean \*\*- I didn’t know you taught Kindergarten! 😉 More excitement - I just put together a cucumber onion salad, loaded the dishwasher, and cleaned the cookie sheets. I also put the few remaining cookies in a tupperware container - I don’t expect them to last thru the night. 😃 Supper will be rotissed chickie - I’ve got the timer set to remind me to put it in the rotisserie at 3:30-ish. We’ll have cornbread and a green veggie on the side, along with the cuke salad. That sounds healthy. Meanwhile, I have about half an hour to kill. Yay! 😃 ---
