Happy Birthday Danny Elfman!
Happy Birthday Adrian Paul!
Happy Birthday to Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown!
Not much planned for today. Might go for a walk after a bit of job hunting activity. I was thinking of seeing if my daughter wanted to go with me, but yesterday I found a dead duckling next to the walking path, and I'm not sure I want her to see that if it's still there.
Not that she's delicate, or anything. I think it would just be an unpleasant start to her summer vacation.
Hmmm...The sun is shining, but it's going to be hot. And my legs have been bothering me lately, which has me worried. Which adds to the already great amounts of stress in my life.
No wonder I'm nearly always cranky.
Ah well, if something wasn't going wrong, I'd think something was wrong.
It's times like this I like to think about the motto of the Swashbuckler Brewing Company:
Live Free. Dine Well. Drink Good Ale.
Words to live by.

Also Gen X: "Cause the Man from Mars stopped eatin' cars and eatin' bars and now he only eats guitars."
Twitter: Gen X is trending.

If anybody wants to know why Gen X is always mad....
It's because we had to replace our record collection with a tape collection that we had to replace with a CD collection that we had to replace with an MP3 collection...
....And now we need a subscription to listen to music.
If 80's movies have taught me anything, it's that anyone with a sweater tied around their neck is an a-hole.
80's Hair - The wind didn't stand a chance.
Federal authorities went after a former CIA official. They seized $40 million in gold, $2 million in cash, and 35 Rolexes.
Protesting someone because it's their birthday?!? Stay class, a-holes!
There was a cool video of a fire chief in Indiana rescuing a baby deer from flood waters.
Speaking of cute animals...
My daughter did accompany me on my walk around the lake yesterday. And we saw the baby ducklings. They had just crossed the path ahead of us, and as we passed them buy their mom honked at them all to warn about us. They instantly froze while mom kept us in sight.
MY daughter was thrilled.
Cheering when someone gets doused in an unknown liquid just for having an opinion you disagree with?!? Stay classy, a-holes. Part II.

Down in Galveston, 8 passengers on a school field trip were stuck for several hours on a roller coaster.
Kind of reminds me of this time about 30 years back. I was at Disney in Florida with my buddy and his brother. As we waited in line for Space Mountain, the ride was stopped for a bit because some folk got stuck riding. They turned the lights on and we saw them up there.
Disney folk got them down eventually. And it didn't stop us from still riding.
Archaeology news! A third monumental tomb dating to the Roman period was discovered in the ancient Lycian city of Olympos, located on Turkey's southern coastline.

We shall see. It's going to be sunny and hot again. But I only have to leave the house twice today. To drop off, then pick up the boy from his practice hike. It's a bit further today, though. They're trying a new route.
I still don't know what you're supposed to comment under a photo of a new baby on Facebook, but I've learned it isn't "Yikes!".
Just because you are unique, doesn't mean you're useful.
Toddler: F@#k this!
Me: Look, I feel the same but we can't be shouting that.
My kids are so open to experiencing new cultures. They'll try anything, from chicken tenders at a Mexican restaurant to chicken tenders at a Mediterranean restaurant.
