Adult survivor of childhood.
Having survived about a thousand moves, and hanging on walls within five different time zones, this is probably one of my favorite original pieces that I own!
I have this by Vermont artist James Kochalka, a big John Pound oil painting, and a sketch each by David Gross and Mark Pingatore!

On account of his 100th birthday, the Dick Van Dyke Show is playing instead of my Full House episodes.
Oh well.
Happy birthday, Mr. Van Dyke… and Happy Caturday to everyone else!

Top three things my mom taught me:
1. Light a cigarette as soon as you sit in the car;
2. When you’re done unloading your groceries onto the belt, push the cart off to the side;
3. When queried about your morally-dubious actions, say “Sher das nudding.”

I love you, Mom! 💕

Anyone who isn’t a close friend of mine is really missing out on a crazy series of pointless anecdotes transpiring in real time! 😅

My partner is some kind of chaos goddess or something. But she gets along great with the cat, so it’s a wash in that regard.

How rood!
Someone clipped away this article from 1894 before it could be scanned to microfishe! 😤
I know it’s the article I’m looking for because I can make out the enhanced type size from the M …in “Murder!”

Years ago, I was involved with a production where I had to sing, in a nondescript accent:

Everybody love bacon
Everybody love souffléd egg
Everybody love turkey leg
Everybody love food

before being interrupted by another character.

None is worse than a fake song stuck in your head for eternity.

As a kid, I turned down an opportunity to see Agatha Christie’s “The Mousetrap,” although I was a huge fan, because it was billed as the “longest-running play” in history.

“Nooo thanks,” I said, “I don’t wanna be stuck in a theatre for six hours!

John O’Hurley!! Actually a very generous man. He’s taken his income and successfully invested it, so that he could donate a lot of his own cash to animal welfare funds. 💕
I know someone who once worked as his personal assistant, and she still loves the guy!

lol I guess I was so nostalgic for my ‘80s childhood that I’ve subconsciously fallen into near poverty again — just like the good ol’ days! 🥹

If I am watching TV with you I will always point out when someone is Canadian.

Lovely! Family Dollar/Dollar General regularly overcharges (in some locations, up to 76%) being the price tag on the shelf. And when the company gets caught, they just pay the fines because it’s cheaper.

I hope they do jail time for this.
How the dollar-store industry overcharges cash-strapped customers while promising low prices
A Guardian investigation reveals Dollar General and Family Dollar stores often fail to honor their shelf prices – charging more at checkout for everything from frying pans to Frosted Flakes

I have this theory that the Q-tip company winkingly tells us not to be driving their product into our ears, and we the consumer responds with a sigh and an “Okay, Dad!” before doing the one thing Q-tips were intended for.

Which is driving them into our ears.

In 1949, the Mr. Magoo character was created.
Six years later, this album was released.

This is a terrible record.

Got my eighth or ninth jury summons this weekend, and the first thing everyone does when I tell them is try to offer advice on how to get out of it.
No thanks! It’s our civic duty to participate in our system of law!

And they always turn me away within seconds of my arrival, anyhow. 😓
