I'm not dead yet!

Despite appearances, I haven't completely given up on this blog.  It's just been way too stressful, in both good and bad ways, for me to spare any energy toward it.  And this isn't really a "real" post, just some fun thoughts I'm throwing up (here) for your consideration...

I.  We were watching a video clip the other night of a staring "contest" between the OK Go drummer and Animal (you know, from the Muppets), and in all the chaos of before-bed-kidness, DD looked away from the clip and didn't see the ending.  Her question (not a joke!):  "so, who won?"  I'm just going to leave it there.  So zen.

II.  DS is exploring the joys of pointless bickering with his sister.  This week has been brought to us by the letter "Y" (why?why?why?why?), and he can and will turn every conversation or comment into an argument.  For example...  We were at a local ice cream place enjoying our dessert, when I hear from the next table (they don't sit with DH and I anymore, apparently) this exchange:
  DD:  Look at my loose tooth!  I can wiggle it all sorts of directions.
  DS:  No you can't.
  DD:  Yes, I can -- look!
  DS:  You can't do that, it's not just your tooth.
  DD:  What??  Of course it's my tooth; it's in my mouth!
  DS:  No, it's not.  It's everyone's.  You can't have it all the time.
Next stop, fake news and punditry!  He'll be a senator yet.

III.  Last night, I was filling in a crossword puzzle, when I came to a clue:  80's Mr. T movie.  Should I be proud or embarrassed that I filled in "D.C. Cab" without even hesitating?  Should I admit that I ever watched it, let alone more than once?  Okay, well, I was a bit lonely as a kid.
