Including me...

I've got to start getting my post-work life together. No offense. You clearly have a great mind.

But, I've got to put something better together than this. Getting busy on the church organist thing, again. The Old Dawgz keep getting booked. A little, non-demanding part-time job would probably fill the gap.

Can't wait for spring. Gonna have a great garden this year!; 12/18/12, 11:33 AM
Farmer said...: Thank you Althouse, for answering my question about the ad yesterday.

Not looking forward to cleaning up after the storm headed here Thursday but the kids will be excited to finally be able to make a snowman.; 12/18/12, 11:35 AM
traditionalguy said...: The hot chocolate kettle bubbling and whistling should be the only noises.

Do it. I am still 9 years from retirement, took up Bluegrass Fiddle a couple years ago. Old people learning anything is painful, but it is coming along. Our quartet has a gig coming up in Paint Lick, Ky. Quilt festival. Kentucky is especially tolerant of folks picking up an instrument and just sitting in a group and playing.
IOW< we haven't started looking at busses yet.; 12/18/12, 3:01 PM

But did you know that he's now recording punk rock under the name Joey Submission?; 12/18/12, 3:52 PM

Dante said...: Very nice. The other day you were bashing Chris Christie for not knowing why he was fat.

Well, some Chinese scientists think they might know part of the phenomenon:

The bacterium – known as enterobacter – encourages the body to make and store fat, and prevents it from being used, by deregulating the body’s metabolism-controlling genes.

Maybe it was bad of Christie to not get up there and wax poetic about his fat genes, McDonalds, or big gulp drinks.

Note, I have nothing against fat bashing. When I was young, I had a really hard time with fat people, and used to try to make myself feel guilty about it by thinking, that while thin, I smoked.; 12/18/12, 5:19 PM
