So, I just burned the hairs off my right hand while lighting the burner on the stove (See!!! I am going to set something (read: ME) on fire with that stove!) So I could make a double batch of gnocchi. So E would have something on the table when he came home. Since he left work over an hour late. And didn't call. And he's still not home. So he's prolly in a bad mood. Or something happened to the bike. Or he got hit. Or I should just skip the gnocchi and start calling hospitals. Or... Wait a minute.

Me: I found some hard boiled eggs from a couple of weeks ago in the back of the fridge. Think they are still good? E: Probably. Me: Are you sure? It's been awhile. E: They're fine. *cracks open egg* Yup. Smells fine. Me: I'm not so sure. E: *eats egg* Tastes okay. They're fine. ***Fast forward to last night*** Me: Well, what if this isn't the flu and it's something you ate? E: But I haven't eaten anything. Me: You sure? E: Well, I did eat that egg... ETA: E: I don't think it was the hard boiled egg though.

I don't normally read the comments on articles and posts. I know a lot of the good conversations can happen there. And I do comment at times. But when something gets 50+ comments I lose interest. There's just too much trolling and poor etiquette for my tastes. But today... this short little article about a dog and a gator... I started reading the comments and I just couldn't stop laughing. It was like a train wreck. It was all I hate about big comment threads. But... I couldn't stop reading. And laughing. Happy Friday.

Growing up, we always said grace before meals. Always. After my father died we got away from the practice. But as long as he was at the table, we said it. And we usually said the same prayer each time. At least my brother and I. We weren't that creative. Yesterday I realized that I couldn't remember how that prayer went. I can remember bits and pieces of it, but not the whole thing. I'm troubled by this some how. "Dear Heavenly Father. Thank you for this day. [...] Thank you for the food we are about the receive. May

Well, kinda. The Schmap York 4th Edition has chosen one of my photographs to be included in their online guide. I snapped a quick pix of the Micklegate Bar Museum in York England and they have included that photo. Go me! Be sure to check out the guide, especially if you are visiting York. York is one of my favorite towns in England. It's a nice combination of city and country, really old stuff and modern. I could wander around on the city walls for days. :)
