stoutfellow1. The spaghetti in tomato-bacon sauce is delicious.
2. Ben's been rambunctious the last couple of days. He found one of his favorite chew toys, and we've been playing quite a bit of Fetch, Chase, and Tug-of-War. (As Charlie Brown put it: "It's one thing to get a dog to chase a ball. It's another to get him to bring it back. It's still another to get him to drop it.")
3. It's funny what will disrupt the old Willing Suspension of Disbelief. I'm reading 1635: The Cannon Law, and just today noticed that there's a character named Benito - a young seventeenth-century Italian. Well and good, except that Benito isn't - or wasn't, in the 1600s - an Italian name; it's Spanish. (Benny the Moose was named after the Mexican hero Benito Juárez.) Took me completely out of the setting, if only briefly.
4. Am I the last of my generation (late Boomer) to realize that the Alphabet Song (the old one, not the Sesame Street version) is sung to essentially the same tune as "Baa Baa Black Sheep"?
Addendum: Murphy just got his foot stuck in his food dish. Given that he can barely lift his feet even half that height, I have no idea how that happened.
