It was one of those rare unplanned "let's check that out" things that was even better than we could have imagined!

Over the summer, my friend and I saw the second movie with the entire soundtrack performed live by a full symphony. Perfection!

I warned everyone in the house about the gimmicky Netflix coverage ahead of time. My mother declared "this is stupid" within 30 seconds.

*Thankfully* I can get the SF radio announcers online.

The flu has entered the house, and believe me when I say today can not be over soon enough.

I was not the person in the house chomping on a candy cane - yet somehow I have mysteriously chipped a tooth.

I think I missed a lot of the jokes, because I kept imagining it with the Pamela and Liam roles switched.

I hope her kids are fantastic to deserve such motherly pride!

"Don't sit so close to the TV, you'll ruin your eyes".

Put down the phone and maybe your arthritis will stop flaring.

With the non-stop texting and constant candy crushing, these cannot be the same boomer parents that told us computers would rot our brains.

My standard gift for 2-4 y.o. is a set of (kid sized) luggage. Spinner wheels so they can push it themselves, backpack/snack bag, and the parents no longer have to pack kid stuff in theirs.

Hopefully have started a new (pleasant) Thanksgiving tradition of watching the latest season of "Man on the Inside". Did it last year without planning, and the parents were delighted.

Saved season two for today and it remains a funny lovely show! (Bonus: no commercials for the parents to lament).

My dad seems to think they've stopped the parade just so one performer can stop and sing, thus inconveniencing the rest of those walking. Um no, this is pretty precisely coordinated!

If I switched it to football's halftime show, they'd just wonder "who's the guy who needs a haircut" (Jack White).

The only tradition we have continues.

I would advise zesting/squeezing an orange, and a splash of brandy or red wine is nice. Customize seasoning as you like.

Cranberry Turkey Breast with Gravy This is wonderful served for a main holiday meal, because it's so convenient. The turkey turns out tender and moist. You can use extra slow cookers to prepare side dishes such as homemade stuffing.—Sh...

If anyone needs a *very easy* turkey recipe, this has been a staple in our house for ages. (Even my kitchen-averse mother has been able to swing it since she saw it in a cooking magazine in the late 90s).

I have a *deep love* for NWSL and would be happy for either team. But who brought the monotonous drummer, because I'm rooting slightly less for them.

Simply the worst!

Penalties are simply the worst.

The squirrels and I are having an absolute turf war! No amount of shoo-ing or arm waving dissuades them. My only recourse was to find planter covers and now they express their displeasure with making a mess everywhere not covered.

The bag of candy I picked up at the health food store definitely tastes like it came from the health food store. Probably for the best we didnt get any trick-or-treaters.

Maybe after the 15th inning, they have to start pitching underhand.

However, I highly endorse taking a day to sit on the hotel room sofa, ignore family texts, eat snacks, read books, and look at the ocean.

My mom and I are in the middle of a two week trip "back home" for her class reunion and to visit family. I'm trying to make this feel more like a vacation than obligation, since you never get to be a tourist in your own town.

THEY DID IT! (And luckily the channel switched back in time).

Someone at the affiliate must have heard me as well...it has been switched back but missed an inning.

This entire hotel just heard me yell when the Mariners game channel suddenly switched to damn Big Bang Theory rerun.

I am watching said game while out of town in a hotel and the channel just switched programming to a Big Bang Theory rerun.

The other day I actually walked up to a birding group to find out what they were all looking at.

If it's not malicious, then I won't hope they stepped in the (omg everywhere) cemetery goose poop.

I stubbornly refuse to look up the meaning of "6. 7".
Just wondering why random Youths were shouting it from the cemetery pathway while we were visiting my grandparents' graves.
