I PROMISE NEVER TO SAY Y'ALL AGAIN.
What a week/month/year. As I sit in my office this Thursday evening, watching the flecks of snow drift down to the ant-like cars below, I'm full of nostalgia and just a little bit of longing for a time when life was slightly simpler, gratitude for the richness of the complexities that make it not so simple anymore, and optimistic that all is well, or at least will be, whatever that means.
Thanks for your amazing support lately--even the support you didn't really realize you were giving. You Strangers make my world go around. Sometimes that's weird, sometimes it's lovely, but always it's entertaining.
And now, your Pictures & Distractions:
 |
| Christmasing with Matthew and Skylar. |
 |
| This is why we can't have nice family photos, Skylar! |
 |
| On the lookout on all sides. |
 |
| Hashtag intergalactic male models. |
 |
| Mr. Pants! |
 |
| Val and I represent 2016 in 4 pictures. |
Crap to distract you from whatever you're supposed to be doing:
One of our very own made it onto this list of weird snacks. Thanks, Bobbi.
Do yourself the biggest favor today and spend the 15 minutes listening to this story from my good friend's sister, live at Back Fence PDX. One of the best live story tellings I've ever heard. Thanks, Swen,
Random acts of kindness. Thanks, Jack.
Woman convinces husband she has adopted a coyote (language warning). Thanks, Brian and Brandon.
Hilarious dog pictures. Thanks, Chris.
Obama memes. Thanks, Charles.
Montreal's poor Christmas tree. Thanks, Brian.
An article about fake news. Thanks, Will.

I can't help it - I'm looking for your cancer in every picture I see of you . . . . . but then I notice your amazing hair and it makes the world a better place again.
ReplyDeleteMatt does a very nice "Blue Steel".
ReplyDeleteI shared the coyote story with a couple of my friends and every time they texted me "WHAT AM I READING?!?!" before they got to the end I laughed like a crazy person.
ReplyDeleteSkylar is pretty even when he's pulling faces.
ReplyDeleteHas the "Hot Men of Stranger" website been created yet? Who's in charge of that? I feel like someone is shirking their duties.
