More thoughts...

a. I'm making roast beef for dinner tonight. I can't actually say "roast beef." I always say "roast beast," like a properly-raised longtime Dr. Seuss reader.

2. Japanese beetles like sweet basil as much as I do.

III. Algebra is hard. That's why I majored in history.

D. "Grits to Glitz" has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Wouldn't it make a nice... entertainment venue? Don't you think a thing named "Grits to Glitz" would be full of interesting observations and commentary and stories? Yes, we thought so, too.

5. Roast beast, just before it's ready, smells so good that one really can't concentrate on blogging.
