I know I should be remembering the birthday of a friend of mine today, but I can't remember which friend it is.

Sid Caesar? Peter Sellers? Patsy Cline?
Logan Schafer?
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Yes.
I'm >..this..< close to getting free V.I.P. tix to the Sammy Hagar (with Michael Anthony and Jason Bonham) show at Wayzata's JJ Hill days this coming Saturday. Wish me luck!
I still have my Explosions in the Sky ticket if anyone wants it. $30
The James J Hill Days festival is one of my family's favorite events in the area.
This concert is the first one associated with the festival that interested me, just looked up their set list from Monday and think it will be a very fun show, good luck with the tickets!
I once served C.J. at my old job. She's about as awful as you'd imagine. Her flustered companion left me a very large tip on the way out.
You weren't wearing skinny jeans, were you?
It confuses me when people online seem surprised that she's awful. Her job is to be awful!
I assume this is reference to the story going around about her "style" critique of the tv reporter on the Jacob Wetterling stuff? That was beyond awful and should never have been published by the STRIB.
The really sad part was it was a woman that was shaming another woman who was intentionally dressing in a way to "break the mold" of the old sexist idea that a woman reporter or anchor is supposed to be pretty or sexy on TV or video.
To be fair, I don't think she wasn't necessarily trying to "break the mold", or was not trying be "sexy" or "pretty". She was being herself, and what was comfortable for her.

I think it's brosplaining. 😉
Actually... I think brosplaining requires a male sibling relationship.
(I was just waiting for you to jump in here so I could make a comment like this).
As the date of the show’s launch approached, I started thinking: Maybe I can break more than the news. Maybe I can break the mold of what a woman on television is supposed to look like.
And so, on the eve of our very first show … I still wasn’t sure. Could I really button my shirts up all the way? Could I really rock a pocket square? Could I really, really be myself?
okay, i'll rephrase. break the mold, yes. on my side: "Could I really, really be myself?"
my main point was (and perhaps hers? i can't pretend to speak on her behalf) is that "prettiness" and "sexiness" should have nothing to do with the job (and that is absolutely not to say that she is neither). i love that she is comfortable and proud of who she is, and #$&% those that want to pull her down because of it.
Well, it's official: I'm completing my collection by replacing my other hip on Oct. 14th, and I'm planning on it going as well as the first one did.
Good luck – may your DL stint be brief!
Oof. Good luck.
Two-by-two.
Good luck, Rhu.
First day of Kindergarten for Kernel ... my wife and I dropped her off (won't be doing that regularly - bus will pick her up & drop her off at her daycare for before/after-school care) and lingered for just a bit to make sure she was okay. Lots of hugs and a bit of clinging, but all-in-all, not bad.
While driving away, I looked at my wife and suggested, "She has no idea what she's in for ... the first day of at least 18 more years of school." I'm glad I had no concept at 5 of how much of my coming years would be spent in classrooms (~21 altogether!!!).

and the STRIB deleted and apologized. But the damage was done.
