Tumbling the Tree

I have lost my entire mind.

I just signed out, unable to figure out why the hours I needed to make the sign-out sheet figure didn’t equal the hours I put in for leave. Whatever, I’ll figure it out tomorrow.

No, I’ll figure it out five minutes later, sitting in my car 25 minutes before I actually have to leave for my doctor’s appt.

So I marched myself right back in here to sit for another 20 minutes. Because I have lost my entire mind.

I hate feeling stupid

I changed your name in my phone to “circus peanuts” because they’re my least favorite food on the planet and there’s no chance of me accidentally dialing your number or picking up if you call.

That’s awesome. I can’t even remember the last time I tried to eat a circus peanut.

Didn’t wake up to any dead celebrity news today. Maybe the streak is over?

Robert McNamara. Granted, he was 93.

Entry for July 2

The thrill of leaving New York City is immediate and corroborated by the appearance of cattails ten minutes after exiting the Holland Tunnel. At 2 PM we stop to eat lunch at a Cracker Barrel. The meal includes fried okra and the service is excellent (signs of excellent service: the waiter calls you “folks”; includes a straw with water glass).

At lunch I learn a few things:

a) Fireworks are legal in Pennsylvania
…

It’s my understanding that fireworks are legal to sell in PA, but you must take them to another state to set them off legally.

Remember that episode of "Family Ties" when Alex P. Keaton was hopped up on caffeine pills or some shit and painted his bedroom?

I’m sure you do.  It was a Very Special Episode.  Not as special as alcoholic uncle Tom Hanks drinking maraschino cherries, but still.  Anyway, I need some of that energy now, but I’m afraid the effects of caffeine pills weren’t accurately portrayed.

I thought he drank vanilla extract? That episode has stayed with me since I was a child. I’m afraid I don’t remember Alex painting. Bummer.

The most Special Very Special Episode of Family Ties was the one where Alex’s friend died…I just remember a lot of it was Michael J. Fox in a totally black room talking to God(?).  And it was sad, and way more Special than when the same thing happened to David Silver’s friend with the gun on 90210, because that one kind of made me laugh.

THAT’s the one I remember - black room, talking to God.
