Fozzie Bear should take Yoda’s place in Episode 3. That’s what I was thinking, I think it would be funny. I’m not sure why I was thinking it at this particular moment, but there you have it. ---

I was thinking about getting a parrot, and about the likelihood that it would outlive me and how sad that would be. For the parrot, I mean. And who could I leave a parrot to in my will (if I had one) if I were to die first? I don’t know anyone well enough to burden them with a grief-stricken bird. But now that I’ve read this thread and I’ve had time to reconsider, I’m thinking about getting a pig instead. So, thanks for asking. ---

My neck hurts after bicycling all day, and did I need to go to the store and purchase a bicycle with full suspension? Hell yes. I should have done it years ago. I’m 49, not a stupid 26 year old…ARRRGGGG. Thank You. I needed to fnd a way to vent. ---
