This particular ancestor appears to have a greatly elongated right arm. I could hazard a guess as to how that happened: excessive churning of yak butter as a teenager. Why, what were you thinking?

Pud is my favorite thing to do. And it's your least favorite. Do you perceive a connection there? Because I don't.

If you insist, you can view larger right here.

I can't imagine political campaign seasons getting any worse, but every year they do. They're like the Bizarro Olympics. And it's one area where Republicans and Democrats are equally heinous. There is absolutely no way you could tell from their campaigns alone which is the better candidate in any given race. It's a disgrace. And it's our disgrace. They wouldn't pull this shit if it didn't work. We get what we deserve. And we in Virginia must have been really naughty this year.

So after voting, I went out on the porch and drew cat bowls. Whether the Republicans or the Democrats are in power, the cats need their food and water. I need to remind myself of that.

And he did, too. It was kind of scary. Like watching an amateur production of Godzilla. Kate's going to be sorry tonight, if you get my drift. And Brandy. And the neighbors.

I don't believe in working lunches. I believe in eating lunches. One of the highest functions of the Lunch is precisely to excape from work, second only to the actual consumption of food. To be able to step away from whatever pointless piece of nonsense you're struggling to invest with purpose and walk right out of the building under the nose of the boss, who glowers and grinds his teeth at the towering injustice of having to pay you to spend an hour indulging in a gluttonous orgy of gastronomical engorgement, that is a moment to be savored. The sensation is diluted somewhat when you no longer have a boss, but only somewhat. Instead of stickin it to the Man, you're stickin it to the Self, but that's pretty much what I've been doing my whole life, so I'm comfortable with it.

I've always harbored a secret desire to be known as irrepressible. But I'm becoming resigned to consigning "irrepressible" to the dustbin of lively adjectives that will never be applied to me, such as "chirpy". Actually, I'm glad about that one. Apparently I am quite repressible, even unto the nth degree. And by the way, when are the theoretical mathematicians going to announce the numerical value for "nth", so we can retire this tired term? Can't they find a few moments in between bouts of shooting string theories at each other? By another way, the most interesting thing I heard on the news shows this morning was that Soupy Sales died. Also, Kerry Dougherty gives him an eloquent send-off in this morning's paper.
