A few days ago it was Dixie’s birthday. I texted her (from my brand spanking new cell phone) and wished her a happy one, which made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It was easy enough, taking not more than 10 minutes, and I’m sure it was a good thing to do.

Already we’ve rejected The Remainders and Texas Chainsaw Manicure, both of which had brief appeal. Secondly, we need to practice more.
