I did not go hate-gawking this morning after all. I figured that a big audience was something they wanted, and I didn’t want to give them anything they wanted. Besides, I have enough trouble in my life. . . . I didn’t need to borrow any more from the likes of them. They’re gone now, to stir things up (ie promote evil and intolerance) in some other town.

Life is so short. Why must people be so nasty?

The whole thing has made me sad. I didn’t need any help in that area, either. Thanks a lot, Fred. You barking moonbat.

Eclectic enough for ya?

My sweet MIL took us for BBQ ribs at Rusty’s again tonight. The Sunday night karaoke wasn’t quite as shrill as usual, but the guy who kept singing “A Boy Named Sue” needs to tone down the shouting. Also, the Beatles’ “Oh Darling” just isn’t a song for a woman’s voice. Not that woman’s voice, anyway.

I’m thinking that maybe I won’t grade any more papers tonight, and that I will try to get to bed earlier than usual. There is something about the last few days that has drained me.

Currently playing: Watching The White Wheat – The King’s Singers

I hope you all have a great week.
