Micah 6:8
Psalm 148
Yes, your life matters.
We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?
Today marks a dark day in astronomical history - it's Pluto Demotion Day. Today we mark the anniversary of Pluto's demotion from planet to minor planet. One of the saddest results of this change was that these days my very excellent mother just serves us nothing. She used to serve us nine pizzas. You decide which is better.
At least there is something worth celebrating, rather than lamenting - today is also National Waffle Day. Why not play a dinner-time game of "Will It Waffle?" tonight. Thanksgiving stuffing/dressing is a delicious waffle-able side. Meatloaf waffles nicely, as do "grilled" cheese sandwiches. Go for it! Challenge the status quo! Stick it to the man!
Waffle something tonight!
Speaking of cooking, I was commenting to Heidi the other day that it sure is nice to work with a sharp knife. She agreed, adding that having a great knife sharpener is a good thing. I heartily agree with that, and the knife sharpener we have - a present from my Dad - is a joy to use. It's one of those spring-loaded X-shaped things where you simply draw the knife through a few times to hone the blade. Simple, easy to use, and it works well. There's not much more you can ask of a tool, is there? Oh, I brought that up because today is also National Knife Day, so pull out a knife and sharpen it - they like to be their best, just like everyone else. And why not watch Knives Out, tonight, just to celebrate? (Note: I haven't actually seen this film, so I'm not willing to recommend it, just to note its existence and title-appropriateness.)
Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
