that's it, then. I tried my best and you know damn well I have no idea how to post things. When I DO manage to get something posted it's sheer luck and I can't remember how I did it.


Yes, my children laugh at me.

Blank look. Well, she's young.

Then M (aka self-proclaimed end-all be-all expert on all things pop culture) comes along. He'll get it.

Blank look.

WHAAAAAAA? Hong Kong Phooey? The Shining? Twilight Zone: The Movie? Chico and the freaking MAN?

Sigh. Youngsters.

My friend's cow orkers (several) didn't know the meaning of the phrase "as the crow flies".

On a recent hike, there was a sign that said our campsite was 1/4 mile away. I had noticed just a day before that the kids today read that differently than I do, so I did a little experiment and asked everyone going by what the sign said.

All the dads told me the campsite was a quarter mile away.

All the boys told me it was one fourth of a mile away.

I thought that was interesting, and I still do.
