Hello, Sunday.

Well, we’re at the halfway point for summer. How are you doing on your bucket list? Did you have one? I did not, but I think I’ve done an okay job of taking advantage of June. July and August, here I come.

Crawley and I traveled over the river and through the golf course to grandma’s house (Mom, to me) and he’s had a rough go of it. He does not love it here, and I feel bad every time we come. Still, he’s a baby and he needs to get use to the big boys that rule the roost around here. He does get better every time, but yesterday, we had a bit of a rough day.

Enough about me and the emotions of my cat.  Let’s get down to it! Some of these are holdovers from last week, but I found them amusing nonetheless.

Turns out, I’m an Xennial.  So were you, if you were born between 1977-1983.  Grape and I have talked about this, how we are in sort of a unique position of being old enough to experience college without Facebook, but young enough to embrace the iPhone to its fullest extent.  We also remember The Oregon Trail and Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, which means that, IMO, we are the luckiest of them all.

Harry Potter came out 20 years ago this week and the internet was awash with fun quizzes. Here’s Time Magazine’s, which I trust the most because…science.  As expected, I’m a Gryffindor.  #GryffinROAR.  

Related:  The 20 most memorable moments, as told by fans.  Yup, yup.

Wedding trends for 2017:  Flower Man? This was cuter than you’d think.

Train people! Do you ever fall asleep on your commute and end up always waking up just in time? Here are the reasons why you never miss your stop.

Do you stare at something every day and still not know what it looks like?  We all do, but this one made me cry laughing.

I don’t even know what to say about this. Heartbreaking.  Do you how many people have been saved by experimental treatments?

Food as medicine?  Here are some specifics.

Um, hello fake news!

John McEnroe v. Serena Williams. Hmm, who do you think will win THAT blow out match?

Canada, Happy 150.  Let’s get together soon, k?

And finally, the end of small talk?  I’m actually intrigued if in this time where shallow relationships rather than close friends if more often the rule than the exception.  Can we do it?

That’s it! Enjoy your holidays, all!
