Dear bird:

Dear bird:

You may have read how in some human cultures people will use their left hand as toilet paper. Often these cultures are located in harsh climates and wasting paper for such would be a bad idea.

Our culture, however, is not so resource strapped. Perhaps it's different for birds, but in any case you are not supposed to poop on my hand.

No love
Tom

Another Op'nin Another Show

Well...we were up until midnight getting the set painted. Here goes nothin.

From the Omaha World-Herald:

From the Omaha World-Herald:

"After nearly two decades of debate, Nebraska’s same-sex marriage ban fell quickly Friday after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a landmark civil rights case that states cannot deny a gay couple the dignity of marriage.

Within an hour, Nebraska. Gov. Pete Ricketts and Attorney General Doug Peterson gave the green light for county clerks to begin issuing same-sex marriage licenses."

Those two groused about it, but they didn't throw a tantrum and were basically "whelp, SCOTUS said we have to so we're gonna".  Quite gracious considering some of the responses seen so far.

And at least two gay couples in Nebraska have already gotten marriage licenses.

Here's to all you brave Cornhusker couples.

Oh hey, SCOTUS on a 5-4 says we can all get gay married if we want.  Even in Nebraska.

So, with the new Star Wars movie coming out, maybe you want to refresh your memory about why all our hopes and fears...

So, with the new Star Wars movie coming out, maybe you want to refresh your memory about why all our hopes and fears sit on this movie, but who has the time to wade through all those films?

The answer is simple:  multi-task!

Getting ready to sell your house is a lot like being the director of an amateur theatre production.

Getting ready to sell your house is a lot like being the director of an amateur theatre production. The set's half finished, the actors don't know their lines and what costumes and props there are look super cheap and tacky. Oh and tomorrow is opening night.

I can only hope that, as in theatre, magic happens and it all comes together at the last second.

SUPPLIES!!!

Dear, my dentist:

Today is an especially bad day for you to be not open.  Although to be fair pretty much any day is a bad day for a filling to go bad.

[Boston-area-ish Locals] I'm looking for some help on Wednesday evening.

[Boston-area-ish Locals]  I'm looking for some help on Wednesday evening.  I need to move my bed out of my bedroom and downstairs temporarily while contractors paint/recarpet my room.  This shouldn't take terribly long and I can provide food/transport for people willing to help.
