no, but I look for things that make a bit of sense of it. Current favorite is from Ken Burn's Jazz, describing the difference between New Orleans spiritual music and the blues, the blues based in more earthly reality. Spiritual: "Oh God, let me go." the blues: "Mister, won't you let me be?" I don't know, it sort of caught my mind in a new way.

I have, actually until last week I was teaching people to ride horses. Been riding since I was big enough to bounce when I fell off.

TPBM has an irrational fear
The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair.

I almost thought it was a clever play on words rather than spam. Whoops!

TPBM appreciates the double entendre and would like to have someone below them right now. :)

Absolutely. I love the cold, I'm a bit of an introvert, and I love nature.

TPBM prefers being too cold to being too hot.

I prefer to be a little on the warm side. But the cold does have it's advantages. After all, if you are to cold you can always add another layer of clothing. But if you are too hot you can only take off so many clothes until there are none left... to ... remove....

Wait a minute... I think I really like being too hot... yeah. We should all be too hot. Yayyyy for the summertime

True. I prefer salty snacks to sweet ones. that being said, I do not generally cook with salt. I think it is something that should be added (sparingly) at the table. Garlic and other seasonings provide better flavor.

TPBM cooks from scratch.

Yeah, I've definitely given it some thought. Those weathermen/women seem to fall into three types: 1) those that have a raging hard-on for those storms that dump shitloads of snow everywhere, 2) those that sympathize with the people who don't like the storms and the "bad" weather, and 3) the ones who really don't give a damn about the weather (usually the weekend guys).
