I am currently reading the recently published "Cloud Cuckoo Land" by Anthony Doerr.  Has anyone read it?

I downloaded it, and I also got the Advanced Reader's Copy.  I don't know when I'll get to it, though.

How do you get an advanced copy?  I would think you would need to read the book early and review it.

Friday evening greetings!  Today I finally had the motivation to switch out the summer patriotic decor in our living/dining room for some fall/Halloween items.  In the process, I removed the layer of dust that was deposited during all the jackhammering.  Then I had to sit down to cough and catch my breath.

I went to the storage room yesterday and forgot to bring up the October decorations.

Lovely.

A little of both, I think, DR Jane.

Going to a strip club with all those bills, Elmore?

There's a joke about the male "stripper" who came home with $70.10.  His wife asked him "What cheapskate gave you a dime?"  The "stripper" answered:  "They were all dimes."

Maybe that's updated to quarters for inflation!

I ate a couple of leftover donuts (microwaved for 7 or 8 seconds) earlier this morning, and now I'm feeling the need for a wee bit more indulgence in the form of, say, a Sausage & Egg McMuffin. I don't think I've had one of those in a year and a half.

I'm hoping when the McRib comes back, it's not a letdown.  There was a version of the McRib that was really great, but it was temporary. 

My sister used to love these.  She doesn't eat land animals anymore, but she does still miss them.

I think it was Jimmy Fallon who said Macdonald's was asked "What do you intend to do about the McRib if there's a pork shortage as in this other news story?"  And the McSpokesman said "Those two stories are completely unrelated." :)

The hills have eyes...     and so do the hot dogs, apparently.

Thanks, everyone, for the vibes.  Pizza, wine, and the Cincinnati Bearcats on ESPN - not a bad Friday night.
