Colbert on Letterman. Was able to get it in - crystal clear, mind you - and it's a good thing. I'd read about the boat that he and his son built from scratch over a summer, and he showed pictures of it - the maiden voyage, with his elderly mother in it, casting off in the shallows; a shot of him and his son, sailing in it, displaying both the South Carolina state flag and a Jolly Roger, of course; and him, in blissful suburbia, wearing baggy, longish 'dad shorts' standing proud upon completion, and and and and....and apparently, he drinks 'Red Stripe' beer, which I had to look up (it's Jamaican).

*contented sigh, nonetheless*

I'd rather spend the rest of my life alone, than settle for a guy any less than, 'of that ilk' or a reasonable facsimile. He really *is* The Standard. SMART, FUNNY, BUSY, good-hearted, honest, pothead, SMART, goofy, forthright, gentlemanly, tuned-in, wise-ass/drama balloon-popping, silly, spiritual, empathic, SMART, bossy, constantly talking, and he really CAN dance, perfectly neat Superman hair, traditional-minded, KICK-ASS AT TRIVIAL PURSUIT, building-a-mutha-fuckin' BOAT, SUNDAY-SCHOOL TEACHING...and did I say SMART?

A lovely thing, after a two-hour brain-shredding, soul-dicing marathon phone call from my older sister, who ranted (she literally screams in lieu of talking) at me non-stop, running the gamut from My Health (and Teh Man's) to Our Childhood to Her Marriage to Why You Are The Way You Are And Why We Are Different to a crying jag in regards to our father to Work to Her Cats...to..to..Why She Hasn't Seen Me Since The Last Holiday...uh. There's a good reason for that.

I just stay out of their way, these days, if possible.

DJ and I are discussing getting a Wii.

An-n-n-nd my Colbert desk calendar came today! It's a beautiful sight. :)

Just so you know, these are popular at nursing homes everywhere. Ours even got one this last year. At one point, we thought Walmart might donate one....I can't remember if that worked out or not. I think they had bowling, baseball and...fishing? Oh and golf.
