I know I am in America because I pressed a button in a public space and then heard HELP NEEDED IN THE DEODORANT AREA over the intercom. (I did need help in my deodorant area, but I didn't want everyone to know.)

Amazing! Many congratulations!

I *am* a human, but God help me I can't tell the difference between beds and clocks.

The first Peanuts strip by Charles M. Schulz was published on October 2, 1950.

Lee! It was so wonderful to see you. You are wonderful. (Also I can't stop thinking about that weird bar!)

The Hancock. 50 years old today.

Oh, Susan! This means the world to me.

This is so awful, sad, and anti-education.

Thank you very much! It is not so bad to turn 60.

Why?

I don't care how many people try to convince me otherwise. This sneaker company logo is a person smoking as they stare into the sky, deep in the midst of an existential crisis and quite possibly French.

I think I would be able to out-regency these young people, Wendy!

My kid & I thought about going to the Jane Austen market at the Guild Hall, but the line was around the block.

I love seeing the wide variety of people in their empire waist dresses and bonnets, with their walking sticks and ruffles, walking around with their cell phones, sometimes in period shoes and sometimes Doc Martens.

Years ago my mother-in-law, upon seeing a man in full Henry VIII drag at a renaissance festival in Long Melford, said, "He must feel like such a twat." She couldn't be convinced that he was living his best life.

It's the Jane Austen Festival in Bath. There are fops and parsons and any number of young Miss Bennetts cluttering the sidewalks.

Yes, tons.

I do not believe that they did.
