My favorite New Yorker cartoon (I think it was that magazine) is where a gentleman is petting a dog and saying "good dog". The thought balloon from the dog says "why am I always just good, but never great?"<br /><br />I think the fix was in on the cheeto contest. Daughter's is a sure winner.Sortahwittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09057789691899634457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-79583851172469129262017-11-14T05:34:54.505-06:002017-11-14T05:34:54.505-06:00That Cheeto also looks like a bound and shovel-rea...That Cheeto also looks like a bound and shovel-ready corpse (like Barry pronounces "Corps"), so there might be the Hillary connection.Wahoonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-4465251814413760972017-11-13T14:31:46.984-06:002017-11-13T14:31:46.984-06:00So happy about Penny.

For those who haven't noticed, one of the key differences between "Stilton's Place" and "Hope n' Change" is that I'm taking things a lot more casually now, including more personal stuff and outright silliness. <i>Hope n' Change</i> was about communicating an important message; <i>Stilton's Place</i> is about the importance of communicating with friends.<br /><br />I'm glad to report that Penny is feeling 100% or close to it. No idea what the problem was - I'm just glad it's gone!<br /><br />Per John D's inquiry, the physical work on the house is finished (except for touch-ups) but the place is still largely a mess because we got rid of our drapes, carpeting, and much of our furniture. Some of those furniture pieces held things that are currently sitting on the floor in boxes. And rather than just return old junk to hiding places, we're trying to sort and get rid of things. Mrs. J is great at it, while I stink. I open a box of knick-knacks to sort and almost immediately have an anxiety attack (wish I was kidding).<br /><br />I seem to have a pathological inability to group like things together, because they don't seem like "like" things to me. For instance, there are at least 30 different kinds of annoying paperwork spread across my desk. And where should my stone gargoyles go? My stage lights and lasers? My collection of 3D glasses? Do wifi amplifiers belong with spare routers (and why am I keeping spare routers?) or with computer equipment? Should business software be on the same shelf as games? Plus, I still have stacks of my late parents' stuff to wade through, and smoke starts wafting from my ears as soon as I look at it.<br /><br />SOooo it's going to be awhile before there's anything like a "new normal" around here, though I'm actually looking forward to repopulating the house with new furniture.<br />Stilton Jarlsberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503164551782304564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-79127013256745552742017-11-13T12:52:57.039-06:002017-11-13T12:52:57.039-06:00@Anonymous and @Pete (Detroit)
