Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am hiding from the sun.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I am hiding from the sun.

Me, too.

Well, mostly I'm lazing about on the sofa. But it's a sun-free sofa.

Because books.

We have sun. It's lovely and not too hot yet, or humid. Yesterday was one of the most gorgeous days of the year.

I really fundamentally do not get the allure of golf.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It is a gorgeous bright sunny not-too-hot day, which I am enjoying from here inside my house. Where I don't need sunscreen.

I am hiding from the sun.

I have been all morning, but now I have to go for groceries.

Yeah, it's always shocking to see the land masses reflected properly.

I think I may be able to open my blinds now -- I get morning sun....

Roasted brussel sprouts: Do I cut them in half or not?

not your mom's socks.

Tom, I do. It lets the olive oil and spices get all tangled up in the sprouts.

Also makes them smaller and cook faster. And makes a flat part to caramelize.
