It sounds odd, but Reese Witherspoon looks hot in her booking photo. She looks gorgeous with dark hair.

Junie breaks the iconic popsicle house

In the week before his death my Grandpa and I began to build a house out of popsicle sticks; I wrote of this in "Little Grandpa". I've had that house for thirty years. Today I found it smashed and half-missing on the floor of Lauren's room. To say I am upset is an understatement, but OTOH, the existence of that book makes the loss less biting, as the physical mementos are less important in its wake. But still . . . . damn it.

Junie isn't a morning person LOL

Went for a nice walk with Smiley (~2 miles) then settled in at home in my PJ's to enjoy the rest of my Sunday in peace. Naturally, this would be the time YaYa  decides to introduce us to her friend's Mother, who stops by to chat while I look like a freak. Stupid fuzzy footed pajamas %^%$@$. I kid, I kid - they weren't fuzzy.

      It is permissible, even encouraged, 2 cuss at or berate an opponent's Yahtzee, but it *must* b followed by insincere congrats #YahtzeeLaws

      Never waste ur 3rd roll trying 2 finish off a lg straight, unless u've got the small on the table & r content 2 settle for it. #YahtzeeLaws

      
      

      An open ended [ 2-5] attempt at a large straight is a beautiful thing to see on a first roll.

Fantasy Baseball

 You want bad luck? Drafted Chad Billingsley, set to start today, just to make the arbitrary and fascist innings pitched minimum in my fantasy league: he promptly went on the DL.

Obviously
