    Watching the spacewalk live via helmet cam on NASA-TV.

  • So Sociable

    I like waving down the urban block sidewalk at someone she knows, and everyone between waving back to her assuming she’s waving at them and they must know her.

  • An Observation on Snails

    Snails are the watched pot that doesn’t boil of the animal world. They scarcely move while you watch them. Turn away, look back, and they’re way over yonder.

  • Not Very Educational Illustration of the Wright Brothers

    H.o.p. was reading a brief bio on the Wright brothers. The illustration for their childhood showed boys playing with blocks and toy cars. Marty says, “Maybe they invented the time machine.” Which was what H.o.p. said.

  • WWGeezusD vs. WWGoofusD

    Geezus and Goofus are intrepid urban explorers playing ice hockey on an ice-sheeted basement in an abandoned warehouse. Whee! Whack! Fun!

  • H.o.p. Didn't Get Pics of the Inauguration From His Uncle As His Uncle Had a Purple Ticket

    My brother-in-law, Rob, and his boyfriend, Ray, were two of the individuals with purple tickets who never made it in to the inauguration. Ray chronicled the experience with a video that is housed in the Facebook, Videos from Survivors of the Purple Tunnel of Doom Group.

    H.o.p. reports it takes 307 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop.
