Proving that I am smarter than cats, at least sometimes, tonight my TV remote is within arm’s reach BEFORE the cats settled into my lap.
Essential oils
I keep hearing “essential oils, essential oils.”
How do you suppose that makes the REST of the oils feel?
Fetch!
I am in bed. There are cats in my lap, and the TV remote is out of reach.
“Fetch!” I tell one of the cats.
It didn’t work.
… or maybe there’s eleven…
The tenth weirdest implication of the Many Worlds interpretation of quantum physics is that I know the tenth implication of quantum physics and am using it to make you think there are only nine.

At least the movie wasn’t all just fluff
I saw White House Down last night.
This was NOT a movie about collecting feathers from geese on the White House lawn.
SO disappointed.
Multiple choice exam
Multiple choice exam:
It’s snowing out! And there’s the forecast of two more single digit overnight lows. Your reaction is:
[ ] How lovely! A little fresh snow makes everything look so fresh and clean!
[ ] Oh, well. April’s right around the corner.
[ ] It’s the final straw. I think I shall take to my bed and huddle under the covers until the Fourth of July. It should be warmer by then, I hope.
[ ] All of the above
[ ] None of the above
READY TO PLAY! Or not.
I love it when sportsball teams say they’ll “have to come ready to play.”
What ELSE did they think the whole “putting on uniforms and traveling” thing was about?
Team 1: puts on uniforms, travels to meet other team
Team 1: “So, what do you wanna do now?”
Team 2: “I dunno. Hey, how about we go out to grab a bite somewhere?”
Team 1: “Sounds good.”
Why the R?
I’m watching Batman on MeTV, and I just thought of something. Robin wears a green outfit with a red vest, a yellow cape, a black mask – and a white R in a black circle on his chest.
My question: why the R? Is that to distinguish him from all the OTHER superheroes running around wearing green outfits with a red vest, a yellow cape, and a black mask?
“Hey, who WAS that masked man?”
“Was he wearing a green outfit with a red vest, a yellow cape, and a black mask?”
“He sure was!”
“You didn’t happen to notice a letter on his chest…?”
“No, sorry, I didn’t.”
“Then it could be any one of a number of superheroes. I guess we’ll never know.”
Some weres need hyphens. Others do not.
On a friend’s Facebook page, we’ve been discussing whether various werecreatures should be hyphenated or not. I usually don’t hyphenate unless it would put two vowels in a row. I WOULD hyphenate were-elephant, were-umbrella, were-aardvark.
Although, as I noted, if you’re a were-aardvark, you have bigger problems than whether your condition is spelled with a hyphen or not.
Cold is relative
The temperature is zero. But don’t worry. It’s zero degrees F, not Kelvin. Zero degrees Kelvin would be another story, although none of us would be around to tell it, I fear.
