Glob anniversary

I just noticed that yesterday was the fourth anniversary of this blog. This is the 1,496th post. I've attracted over 58,500 visitors--despite the fact that I no longer try to post every day, I no longer post much about what I'm doing (I now use Facebook and Twitter for that), and I seldom post reviews of anything. Still, people keep coming--an average of 40 per day. So I must be doing something right. Thanks for visiting.

Plat du jour

I see Lubby? I club by? I have no idea.

And her dog ate her son's genitals

Expert: Dog could have severed boy's genitals

Everyone seems to be blaming their pets.

Plat du jour

Did they win this car?

Tweet of the day

Dear gym teacher of 1984, Sorry I went along with the 8th grade in calling you Thunder Thighs. Please know I have them now too. Love, me.

Plat du jour--guest submission

This is better than 3BRATS, I guess. Found by Joanne.

Semi-random thoughts

● Why are the plums I just bought more ripe than the remaining ones I got a week ago?

● We arrived back at Penn Station at exactly the same time I was finishing the first Harry Potter book. However, unlike Harry in the last scene in the book, we did not come in on track 9 3/4.

● How did I get a subscription to Rolling Stone?

● My doctor is happy with my blood sugar and cholesterol numbers. So am I.

● I got a notice of our health insurance renewal. Our rate is going up 17%! Granted, it did not go up at all last year, but this is very high even over a 2 year period.
