Had to go back and refresh my memory with a bit of a re-read. Loved the tension in this last chapter, and I suspect that Fish Will Hit the Fan soon--and while Kermit is around, because frog forbid the poor guy actually get a few days off!

Seeded my work chillout/introspective/electonica Pandora station with Gary Numan, and today I've heard some music new to me. Numan's stuff from the 80s still sounds fresh and sharp. (Station also has Laurie Anderson, Bjork, Joywave, Massive Attack, Portishead, Orgy, Big Data, for comparison.)

Thank you so much! It's a bit overstuffed, honestly, but was tremendous fun to write. My first time combining multiple storylines and subplots, so, overall, maybe not bad for a newbie. I hope. Thanks for reading the whole thing, and for leaving a review!

The water reservoir/tank at the community garden where the Big Frog and I have 3 plots will finally be filled to start off the season. Quite a relief as we already have plants in the ground, and I had to haul water out there in jugs the other day. Small good things matter.

Happy belated!

Uh, WHAT? Uh, NO. Sounds like trolling to me. Saw it, liked it, enjoyed the way it turned a lot of male-action-hero-movie tropes on their heads.

I was startled, when watching a preview of it, to realize that was Ryan Reynolds. I'm absolutely not a Pokemon fan, but it might be cute regardless.

Wow. What hospital is this? What state? I spent most of last July in the hospital (St Elizabeth's in Appleton for a couple days, then airlifted to UW Madison for the rest) and while it wasn't enjoyable, both places tried to make things as comfortable as possible. At UW I had a private room, even...

Another great gone. Very sad to hear he had dementia. I bet he was as sweet as ever to the end, though.

Papa John's is A) terrible pizza with substandard toppings, and B) policy from the top down of overworking their employees without fair compensation, time off, benefits, etc. Blast them into the bog of eternal stench. Domino's used to be awful, but a few years ago they revamped their menu and...

Top 5: Avengers: Infinity War The Avengers Thor: Ragnarok Captain America: Civil War Guardians of the Galaxy What really impresses me is the continuity of all the films. Such a well-planned story arc with the Infinity Stones and Thanos, and great character development from film to film with...
