I read, write, work with Photoshop, daydream, and read some more. I love stories in all forms. I was born in 1957, so I am old enough to know better, but still don't :)

I woke up with ten pounds of mashed potatoes in my fridge because today is Lefse Day, a yearly labor of love, rolling out potato dough paper thin and cooking on a jumbo round electric grill for my Norwegian-leaning wife. Let the flour storm begin!

Crockett: As he stood up today in front of the American people, he sounded like a used car salesman. Like, let me just shout it out. Buy what I'm selling. Yes. This is a lemon. Yes. He is selling nothing but lemons

Kelly: I wish someone would tell him how math works. You know, that the prices are going to go down 500 or 600%. Anyone who's been through like the sixth grade by then knows that that is not a thing.

Warnock: He's got a lot of nerve saying that I'm using faith to divide people. This is a man who literally had protesters gassed and beaten down so he could hold up a bible in front of a church.

I've ordered the dogs balls that move on their own for Christmas. They'll either find them terrifying or it will be pure chaos as they knock over all the furniture & people & each other chasing them. Maybe one dog doing each. You never know, because poodles are chaos in the shape of teddy bears.
