Oh, hell, just hold your beer can under your armpit when you ain’t drinking out of it.

George Carlin had an interesting take on anti-perspirants. “Put a bay leaf under each arm. It doesn’t keep you dry, but you’ll smell like soup!”

We’re goin’ to a visitation this evenin’. The son of a church member died of a heart attack very probably durin’ the night Sunday at age 49. His brother had talked to him Sunday night after the Stoupor Bowl and he was found dead Monday mornin’. ☹ So sad!

Ok, gonna go surf 'round teh intartoobz for a bit.

You must be psychic 🙂 I put sprinkles on some of the donuts. Chocolate ones on some, coloured ones on others, and heart-shaped ones on others.

Home from the visitation. Lots o’ folks there. We did a quick in and out thing. Speak to family, sign the guest book and leave. OYKW went back to his place for the night and I’m here in da cave all snug on a rainy night.

Interesting - I never heard wedges called logs. Must be a regional thing. And too bad - I was hoping for a new recipe…

Time to recline and start another lap robe. _ **MWAH!** _

We had heart shaped donuts at work today. I had two even though I knew it would make my cardiologists sphincter snap shut.

(With all the exercise I get now, blow me stethoscope-boy.)

Blurf! Went to the pub last night, much fun was had discussing sticky Horlicks worms…no, you really don’t want to know.

Got up this morning with a serious case of the Don Twannas but I am here anyway. There were a couple of white things falling from the sky when I got here but that silliness seems to have stopped now.

I shall prepare for the oncoming snowmageddon with a cup of tea. No doughnuts here though, but I do have two bottles of red wine under my desk.

I slept with my little buddy Mel(atonin) and I didn’t drag my butt out of bed till 5:30!! That’s like sleeping in! 😃

Today’s big plan involves buying groceries. I’ll also bring them home and put them away. Before that whole evolution, I anticipate a shower and the donning of garments appropriate for being seen in public. An exciting day ahead. Yeah.

Oh, and today is **FCD** ’s payday! Actually, tomorrow is payday, but they do the deposit the day before. Yay! The VISA god will be appeased!!

Plus the \*\*bear \*\*won’t be roaming the streets! And the peasants rejoiced!! 😃

So it well and truly is a Happy Thursday! 😃
