Here We Come

This is the dialog that occurred today:

Coffee maker: (after submitting to a thorough cleaning) Sigh. Please don't run me through another cycle. I'm exhausted.

Me: I'm sorry. I know you've been through a lot today, but I need you to do this one last thing.

Eustacia: I don't think the coffee maker actually said those things.

Me: I prefer that my appliances talk to me.

Eustacia: Then you should watch The Brave Little Toaster

Me: Ohhh, I love that movie!!

Disney World, here we come.

Cindy Loo Who In October

What is it with people and Cindy Loo Who? Of my last one hundred blog hits, forty have been direct visits from regular readers, and fifteen have been as a result of people searching for "Cindy Loo Who," the little pixie from Seuss's How The Grinch Stole Christmas . A couple of years ago, I posted an image of the original Seuss illustration as compared to the TV cartoon image, and for some reason, that post is bringing in the crowds, relatively. Maybe it's the weather. It isn't even November yet, and already we've had frost and have had to dust off our winter coats. When it gets cold like this, I start to think about Christmasy things like listening to Nat King Cole and decorating the tree. It's ironic because I am offended when retailers start pushing holiday stuff early, but I don't mind my own private celebrations.

The Ultimate Storyteller—in Life AND in Death

I wrote about The Autobiography of Mark Twain in yesterday's edition of Small Town Newspaper. You can read it here , if you want.

About her, he said, “She is excitable, malicious, malignant, vengeful, unforgiving, selfish, stingy, avaricious, coarse, vulgar, profane, obscene, a furious blusterer on the outside and at heart a coward.” And I laughed out loud.
