Anything that at any point you loved but then became too cool for, know that someday you will turn back to that thing and say, “Oh, no. You were fine; you were more than fine. It is I who was cringe.”

I’ll save you time, New York Times. The answer is yes. It is also ethical to use a library, and to give a book you have read to a friend.

Echolalia is a speech disorder characterized by the involuntary repetition of words, phrases, or sentences spoken by others. It is an automatic imitative action that occurs without conscious awareness.

I just met a seemingly normal, music-aware person who had no idea who David Bowie is.  The guy was maybe 30–35 years old.

I can only hope he was messing with me. If so, he nailed the bit.

Yesterday, Mrs. Bear and I made “memory bottles”—basically, swirly glitter in a colored liquid that allows it to swirl around and look pretty.

Mine was a blue liquid with purple, to represent our first in-person meeting in front of the blue crab stained-glass sculpture at Baltimore Airport.

I get warm feelings, thinking about it.

Hers was black liquid filled with orange glitter to represent our boys, Pyewacket and Newton.

I still miss these gentlemen every day.

Today was spent puttering and shopping. We visited a jewelry pop-up at Sycamore, got some lovely squash and zucchini at the farm, sweets, and bread at the bakery, then picked up a few treats for MIL at the vintage store in preparation for her Mother’s Day visit tomorrow.

Ratatouille for late dinner tonight!
