..just came back from a child's birthday... feel free to judge me but I don't like those... I also don't like to small talk with other mothers who are just talking about children

yes, I'm a bad person

Don't be ridiculous. You're not "a bad person" just because you don't like children's birthday parties.

What's all that white stuff?

For the lucky ones, a curiosity.
For the young ones, a thing of play.
For the less young, a sign of slogging, sliding, grunting, and sighing.

When my father was thinking of immigrating to Canada, he asked what's the weather like. He was told: 9 months of winter and 3 months of bad skiing. He thought it was a joke. By the time he found out, it was too late to go back.

just stopped by to say

Hi!


making lunch... and no, no trout this time

Well, hello, sweetie! How are you doing this afternoon?

just came back from a child's birthday... feel free to judge me but I don't like those... I also don't like to small talk with other mothers who are just talking about children

yes, I'm a bad person

No, definitely not a bad person. "Parents" who go on and on about their kids are a bore, and aren't doing their kids any favours by focusing so much on their precious little creations.

When we were having kids, my wife stayed home to look after them, and joined a few neighbourhood get-togethers where there were other mothers getting out of the house. Unfortunately many could only talk of their kids and they would end up boring my wife practically to tears. Fortunately, she found a few women who wanted to talk about other things in life and with them she formed what is to date a long friendship. The kids have grown up and moved away, but those friendships have continued. One's intelligence and curiosity about the world doesn't drop to infantile levels just because one has a baby.

Actually the same applies to people who want to talk "shop" (work) in non-work settings. Some of that is ok, but lots of that just shows that the person has few outside interests.

You all are getting what we had on the 31st/Nov. 1st. Places in the Smokies hit 18". I think the previous record for Nov. 1 was 7 inches.

Well, I gotta go. But I thought I'd leave you all with this selfie I took this morning.

OH GOD!

No time right now, but I might just do that later today.

I did not going to the mountains; I'll plan that for a time when the rest of the family can go. I went to a little park along the Potomac river, not far from here.

I know better, but I didn't look at my battery before I left. Yep, one shot and it died. I did shoot a film panorama, though, so we'll see how that works out. The wind was straight at me (SWAG 20mph - I have no idea) and it was very chilly. The leaves are not that pretty, as there is still a lot of green. Some smaller ornamental trees are fully turned, however. I'll walk around the neighborhood once the battery is charged.

On the bright side, I did find a couple of mud puddles to drive through.

I just showed my lovely wife -- her comment: "Too bad we're not there."

I just made some bread, even kneaded the dough by hand, this is shaped for going into the toaster and making normal sandwiches.
