Found this during the move, so I put it up in my son's room.
Son (~2): Bear!
Me: That's right, bud, bruin bear.
Daughter (4): Daddy, why is that bear angry?
Me: Because 63 years is a long time, sweetheart.
@RyanRosenblatt Hey, that Uzbek wall on the free kick where Ronaldo was a decoy, there was a guy lying on the ground behind the wall. I'd never seen that before. Is it common?
@EsotericCD I often apply to John Denver what you said about CCR and Proud Mary on Political Beats: instantly sounded like a generations-old folk standard (or something to that effect).
After WW1, John Nash lived at Gerrards Cross in Buckinghamshire in South East England and worked with his brother Paul on their war paintings at a farm near Chalfont St Peter. He relaxed by painting the local landscape including this picture of 'Kop Hill, Princes Risborough.'
@CptHastings1916 Well, I hope I haven't biased you. Middlemarch certainly struck me as ambitious, and I think Eliot is really good at pinpointing very precise personality types. But I do heartily recommend Adam Bede.
@CptHastings1916 Have you read much Eliot? I read a few for the first time this winter, and I was... disappointed? I DID really like Adam Bede. But Silas Marner underwhelmed, and Mill on the Floss and Middlemarch were promising, but MotF ended bizarrely, and Mm was so broad it left me cold.
