Batty

Today the two tiniest Tibbles (Cade is in school now, full-time) and I made bats. They are bat obsessed and after we were done making bats they decided that they wanted to watch Miss Spider. So as I turned on the TV they both ran over to the couch, flopped down, and spun around so their feet were on the top of the couch and their heads were hanging over the seat.

“We’re bats,” they said. “Bats hang upside down.”

Also, Nolan told me I smelled like dirty bubbles.

Things I Want to Tell You

Bob Longmore from How Was The Show, proves my theory that The Hold Steady/Drive-by Truckers show was fucking magic. [+]

Google suggesting the correct spelling of your name has got to be a sign of some sort of success, right? [+]

"I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can't see from the center."

"What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured."
-- Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., November 11, 1922 – April 11, 2007 [+]

50 years of popular songs condensed into single sentences. My favorite: Frank Sinatra, "Strangers in the Night" -- I'm drunk and I want to do it with you. {via} [+]
