a great quote I heard today.

"American corporations want you to be fat. Advertising companies, drug companies, food companies and even the self-help/diet industry need fat people. Healthy people don’t buy weight-loss pills, or new belts, or books on weight loss, or Doritos. This is the worst nightmare of half the corporations in America: a healthy, educated consumer who doesn’t watch TV."

Aerodynamically, the bumblebee shouldn't be able to fly
but the bumblebee doesn't know that,
so he just goes on flying anyway.

the eve of the eve of the eve of Christmas.

just another day.

Allan is gone on Vacation, Gifts are wrapped, stockings are stuffed, wreaths are made and delivered, lights are out, tree is up, everything is done.

It's like the calm before the festive storm. I'm very thankful to be finished everything a bit early. I'm getting dizzy just looking around in places downtown and the mall, people buzzing about, lineups are crazy, the grocery store is CRAZY!! All of this is going on, and I can just sit in bed in my PJs, drink coffee and play crib every day after work. The calm before the storm.
Life's good.

No, life's great.
