Natter 56: ...we need the writers.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
From way upthread, this already got lots of love from Teppy, but still:
I always insist I get three bags for every individual item I buy at the supermarket. An then I go home and burn each bag separately.
I read this and first I laughed so hard I almost hurt myself, and then I was suddenly overcome with the desire to bitchslap everyone in Tom Scola's family for not only not recognizing what a funny, sweet, spicy-brained smartass awesome individual he is, but for saddling him with so many issues and worries that half the time he doesn't recognize it himself.
Seriously. If Scola were in my family, we'd have spent the last few decades wearing ourselves out W00T-ing and high-fiving each other: "DUDE! We're RELATED TO TOM. Does that kick the ass of every other family on earth or what?"
This just in, Noah is still cute. So is Kat, even though she is making a goofy face in that photo.
Also, what JZ and Teppy said.
Today sucks - science says so!
Hey, if I didn't have today off, I'd totally agree. But this is the first time in eight years of working that I get it off, whoot!
So it's 10AM, I'm awake (ish), it's SUNNY in Seattle (!!!) but COLLLLLLLD. What do I do??

Scola
is
in our family, and I for one start out with an air of smugness each morning looking at all the other people, thinking, "Yep. I know Scola."

Well, dang. Why hasn't Amazon shipped my brother's to him yet?
Megan, are you an animal person? This place is gorgeous and fabulous and I've wanted to go for ages:
Best Friends Animal Sanctuary
Best Friends Animal Sanctuary is located at Angel Canyon, a 33,000-acre ranch in the majestic red-rock country of southern Utah, just outside the town of Kanab. The sanctuary is at the heart of the famous Golden Circle of national parks, close to Zion National Park, the Grand Canyon's North Rim, Bryce Canyon, and Lake Powell.
Hmph. I went to go get my 2pm massage, except they have me down for 3! Luckily, it's only 10 minutes away, so I just came home. But still!
Brenda, that sanctuary looks wonderful.

I think it's safe to say I am not an animal person.
But those photos make me even happier we picked Southern Utah as our destination.
This is the basic problem though. There's tons to see and do so we could spend weeks driving around--what to do when you just have a week or so?
A diamond-shoe kind of problem, but still.
My mom and I were just discussing our trip to Florida this April, and when she mentioned that we might be able to take a few extra days to drive back to NJ from there, I put in my bid to stop by Washington, DC, on the way back for two days. It's only a few hours from her house (she's in southern NJ), so we could spend two days in the city and only have to stay at a hotel one evening, still getting back home before bedtime.
We're stopping in Savannah on the way down, since that's somewhere Mom's always wanted to visit. We're spending a week at my brother's vacation house just north of Clearwater. Probably won't do much more than hang, swim, maybe go to the beach if the weather's nice and possibly do some shopping (my sister and BIL spent the past weekend there and recommended shopping in a little town called Dunedin, which has lots of little boutiques).
