Hey, Dugh and Mum.

Hey, wolfie. So sorry for your losses.

Hey, Gary. How's Falkor?

Hey, Drew!

Very well, thanks. I love stories about pirates and treasure.

Currently, I'm watching a show on Netflix called Outer Banks. It's like an updated version of "The Goonies".

Hey, Terry.

Yup, we're all doing good.

Hey, Terry. No, there's no bad weather here.

Hey, Clo. Things have been good here. I'm going to make cheesy ham-and-potato soup for dinner.

Hey, Terry. I haven't heard the latest weather report, but it's possible. We'll be indoors today with some kind of soup for dinner. Maybe watch some Netflix later.

Do you have an evil (well, evil-er) twin named Michael?

Sampling some fresh donuts or splitting a sandwich from a deli are great ideas, if you're into food. Surfing, boating, or hiking are good if you and your date are more "outdoors-y" and athletic. If you both like movies, you can schedule a marathon of favorites, and maybe prepare a menu of foods related to those movies. Nervous about talking to someone one-on-one? Make it a group date and go with a bunch of friends! Group dates are especially fun, because it gives you the chance to learn about the other person's friends, too! Looking through a book shop or record store is great because you can share personal tastes about books or songs with each other. Or get creative and write some poems about each other. If you're old enough to drink, try sampling whiskey or craft beers! Even now that I'm married, my husband and I still try to schedule time for little "dates" together. We usually go for a walk on the beach, or do some shopping at the farmer's market, or just sit next to a bonfire roasting hot dogs. We always try to find something that both of us will enjoy and connect over, bringing us closer together.

Kenton Duty! He's gotten so pretty!

Lord Drewcifer has been supplanted from his throne.

I know of the song, but I've never actually heard it before. So, I'm lucky that way, I guess. 😛

Hey, Bertie.

Anything new happening with you?

That "Q and A" section about New Year's resolutions, in the newest issue? You have my quote attributed to someone called Shadow086.

I just watched the newest episode of Kids Baking Championship. For this season, the producers decided to cast the youngest kids they've ever had on the show. After seeing the results, I'm left questioning, "Why?". That's not to say that kids can't bake, or shouldn't bake; that would defeat the purpose of the TV show. But at such a young age (one boy is even younger than Max), many of the kids haven't had the experience to polish their skills. In seasons past, the kids have produced cakes that look like they were made by adults; in Season 11, the baked treats look what one would expect from an average baker.

Hey, Drew!

Good night, Terry. Sleep well.

Congrats!
