Well, if someone else is doing fireworks, I’ll go see, but I value my fingers and hearing too much to DIY it. But there is nothing like fireworks on Easter to warm the heart.

Write about your most epic baking or cooking fail.

What are you doing this evening?
Who can know such things? I’m not a fortuneteller. But as I just came off a travel cycle, a betting person would put his money on something sleep related.
Dogmatic thinking and the humor blindspots that correspond.
My ideal week would consist of seven days, each day of about twenty-four hours. You could fit four of them in a month with room to spare.
