Well done!

Our older dog is 12 years old, and he's a really big dog (a freak giant golden retriever, 113 lbs or more). Though he's gotten a clean bill of health, it's clear that he's slowing down, and seems confused sometimes. We have our house cleaned every four weeks or so, and on Monday, the house cleaner commented to Osiris…

Today, and for the rest of this week (and Monday of next), my office closes two hours early, or we'd all get stuck here due to parades. We're closed on Mardi Gras.

If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter. - George Washington (February 22, 1732 – December 14, 1799)

This looks lovely!

The exact same experience can mean two totally different things to two different people, given those people’s two different belief templates and two different ways of constructing meaning from experience. – David Foster Wallace (February 21, 1962 – September 12, 2008)

We see the world not as it is, but as we are. – Anaïs Nin (February 21, 1903 – January 14, 1977)

There's always room for Jello!

Dear Sir Paul:

I think in my nephew's case, the name is a reference to both.

My nephew and his wife named their baby Zelda. Not exactly relevant, but she's pretty cute.

The David Lee Roth joke, though.

Next week's challenge: Think of an article of apparel in five letters. Change one letter in it to name another article of apparel. Change one letter in that to name a third article of apparel. Then change one letter in that to name a fourth article of apparel. The position of the letters you change are different each…

The fame you earn has a different taste from the fame that is forced upon you. - Gloria Vanderbilt (b. February 20, 1924)

We walked our dogs along part of the route in the morning before the parades. Little children like dogs as much as they like parades. Also, everyone LOVES our old dog, a 12-year-old, very large, Golden Retriever.

I bought a package, to be spread out over alternate weeks, and it's almost over. I likely won't buy more, much as I enjoy Mark and Sarah. Though Osiris did come up with something clever I could add to my pitch, so I may do more.

I meant, you know, he's in future.

Will Shortz didn’t call me. The answer to the puzzle is “napkins, sink, pan”.
