Hadn't thought of that. I am middle-aged, so in theory could be part of that demographic, but that's just now how Mom brought us up.

The seasonably appropriate "Indian Red" by Danny Barker (January 13, 1909 – March 13, 1994)

Hey, we're good. At some point it was just easier to use "Osiris" than "my husband." I don't refer to my son as "Horus", though.

You sure are! Nice to meet you!

I was born in 1963; I used to watch the old Match Game in the 1970s. Remembering it now, I think we got away with watching it because our mother is hearing-impaired and couldn't hear the jokes.

Osiris doesn't seem to know who Rick Fox is, other than "that handsome man on Match Game right now." Neither of us are sports fans, but still. . .

Rick Fox was on the "Match Game" episode that followed this one. Zoe is pretty enough that he could be her father, but she's not very tall.

Osiris said as much, too, of Dre and the episode as a whole.

I don't hate other white women on principle, but the stereotype exists for a reason.

Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little. - Edmund Burke (12 January 1729 - 9 July 1797)

Cool, we can stand next to each other and shout along with "Funky Cold Medina".

Is Tove Lo the same as Tone Loc?

Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does. - William James (January 11, 1842 – August 26, 1910)

I am going to pay this hospital bill, because I'm rich.

He's made the most of it.

My sister's stepson and his wife (29 & 30 respectively) named their daughter (born in August 2016) Zelda. That's just all kinds of awesome, and the baby already rocks the name.

I was a few months shy of 21 when Son of Isis was born (July 1984), so "Star Wars" was part of the deal. My son's father's (he was 21) insistence on the nickname "Allie", like Holden Caulfield's dead little brother, played a part, too.

I named my son after Sir Alec Guinness.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from doubletalk. - George Alec Effinger (January 10, 1947 – April 27, 2002)

I liked his album "Mercy," from 1985, I think. Gonna get this right now and start reading it over lunch. Uh, actually, I can pre-order right now, and NOT start reading it over lunch. (It'll show up in my Kindle® App tomorrow.)
