As mentioned a few posts below, I often keep a draft post in WordPress where I jot down ideas I’ve had for blog posts before I forget them. Ostensibly this list will help remind me later what the idea was when I have some time to write.<\/p>\n
Since I basically haven’t touched this blog in about a year and a half, most of these jottings are now as mysterious to me as they would be to anyone else. I present them all, repeats and not repeats, for your perusal as I begin a new draft to hold my gestating posts.<\/p>\n
1. J2\/J1 asshat in restaurant, mom ‘calm down’
\nPresumably my brothers were behaving poorly in a restaurant and my mom’s reaction was not what the situation demanded. Beyond that, I have no idea what this meant.<\/p>\n
2. funny conversation or story? Not dad backing into van… clifton park pizza?
\nAlas, I no longer remember even to what story ‘dad backing into van’ refers. <\/p>\n
3. Uncle B namedropping. Dean Witter. Ellison. Michelle Pfeiffer.
\nFilthy Rich Uncle often talks about the famous people he knows or has met. <\/p>\n
4. tile in bathroom – egg, clown
\nAt least this one I can explain. In the downstairs bathrom at my mom’s house the vinyl floor has a semi-regular pattern imprinted upon it. It’s sort of faux marble and sort of not. There is one splotch that looks very much like a fried egg, and as it’s near the commode, it’s a spot I have been able to view many times over the years. Nearby is a bit of the pattern that looks like a clown head. Apparently, even though she’d lived in the house for over 20 years, my mom had never noticed these things until I pointed them out one day when we were talking on the phone.<\/p>\n
5. joyful voices or whatever
\nMy long overdue review of one of the strangest Newbery winners of all.<\/p>\n
6. 2 books – dragonsong, wrinkle in time
\nThese are books that changed my life. I don’t recall if I ever quite got around to explaining why.<\/p>\n
7. books w\/author name too large
\nNORA ROBERTS and JAMES PATTERSON, I’m looking at you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
