Till you say don't you wish you never, never met her
Unrelated things of a Friday turning into Saturday—
1. While I just wanted to get out of the basement of the Harvard Book Store as fast as possible to get away from the man who took a book out of my hand in order to replace it on the shelf—without either speaking to me or making eye contact, while I was in the process of putting it back myself—I really appreciated my husband's offer to go back to the comics section and either smack wildly at the shelves with a large heavy paperback while shouting "IF ONLY SOMEONE COULD HELP ME PUT BOOK BACK!" or strike a coy pose and teasingly slide the book in and out, in and out between its fellows.
(I got out with a very cheap, very good copy of Iain Sinclair's Edge of the Orison (2005), however, so I won.)
2. So Breitbart is currently urging war on Kellogg's for pulling their advertising from the website and Penzeys is beautifully not backing down on their political talk. I foresee a lot of Ceylon cinnamon Rice Krispie treats in my future.
(

3. Tonight Autolycus climbed the refrigerator and then threw up off the top of it. I feel he has struck a blow for cat undergraduates everywhere.
(Still better than the brief, tragic reign of Emperor Poopfoot IV.)

Bill Penzey isn't a one off -- he's a local hero in these parts. (We even have a Penzeys store.)

Thank you. I will tell him so.

I'm really glad to hear that. Penzeys have been my family's default spice store for years, but I hadn't realized the activism was part and parcel of the delicious cooking until now.
