Back from the long jog and must now shower and be on my way to Genghis Cohen.

Genghis Cohen, yum. I love the green beans.

This headline in the Arizona Republic confuses me:

"Two lost icons: For Generation X, a really bad day"

Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett were Generation X?

Farrah was a Baby Boomer.

1958 was still within the Baby Boomer period. The end of it. Wasn't it?

I had never heard of "Generation Jones" before I looked up "Baby Boomer" on Wikipedia.

I caught a bit of THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS, which had something really gay at the conclusion, a bit of THE BOLD AND THE BOTOX, which proves that cute young men who don't age well shouldn't assume that plastic surgeons are one with God, and, now that the laundry and cleaning are accomplished, I'm settling down with the current galloping round of absurdities on AS THE WORLD TURNS: psychodad turned Colonel Hasbro and the strangely vacant military base are weird enough but, along with the Riley who isn't really Riley, now we have a major plot going on with Henry disguised as a Miss Geneva Swift, who's morals are clearly on the side of the Palins, becoming a media star. Incompetent police chief Lucinda has just gone off to arrest the false Riley, been shot by Hasbro while Riley calls her mom, and Riley has shot Colonel Hasbro. Where are the MPs? The thrills are running amok, positively amok today!

LOL Elmore. That's quite a lot of drama going on.

Ha! We both looked that one up at the same time, DR Laura.

I read before that the generation born between 1955 and 65 have never been clearly defined. We're not as goal oriented as the boomers or as slacker-ish as Gen X. We sought to shake off a lot of the societal roles defined by previous generations but never really created any new ones of our own. We like Jewish rye and mayonnaise. We couldn't wait to go out on our own but we didn't want to grow up.

I remember reading all this stuff in different articles by experts. I don't know what any of it means. I don't think they did either.

I was born in 1958.

Boring soap opera line:

"Brenda, you can't marry Jack! He's--he's--he's your third cousin, once removed!"

Including that one, DR Laura.

Laura · « **Reply #70 on:** June 26, 2009, 12:29:03 PM »

Yes. I decided it was too dumb.

Dan (the Man) · « **Reply #71 on:** June 26, 2009, 12:29:11 PM »

I just ate a Strawberry Pop-Tart and I have to say that I do not like Pop-Tarts.

You need time to reformulate and post it later.

I got a Certificate of Appreciation at my work place today from the director of human resources. But as I walked around the office I saw that everyone got one. Now I don't know what to think...

Did you eat it cold? microwaved? or toasted?

*I've found that they only taste "good" when prepared in a toaster.

OK... I'm done puttering around the apartment for now, and now I need to putter around midtown and Chelsea.

Hmmm...

In any case...

Laters...

Yeah, I ate it cold. Should have had it toasted with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

You can still think that you're special. If that will help.

Just back from a lovely lunch at Milano's, an Italian restaurant in Oakland's "Grand Lake" district.

I had the $8.95 lunch special -- a cup of tomato-chicken soup, cheese bread, a Cesare salad and penne bolognese.

It was totally scrumdiddlyumptious.

Toby is sooooooooooooo cute.

Think, "How happy I am that it wasn't a pink slip"! I'm sure it will seem more special!

I forgot to mention that DR Michael looks great, and so do his new glasses.

And speaking of cute, Toby is indeed adorable.
