I know, I know– this happens every time I go on a business trip. I forget all about you, and for that I am sorry. I mean, I don't really forget about you, but I'm not really posting, so it seems like I did. I've been on the east coast all week in a work whirlwind, but I did want to mention the following tidbits:
— On the plane from LA to New York, I was bitten by a mosquito. How is that even possible? I am now trying not to obsess about where that plane was before (like Africa), and how I might now have malaria.
–It is still extremely cold here in New York, but thankfully I learned my lesson from my December trip and brought enough cold-weather stuff. Still, when that windchill hits you, you go "Ugggghhhhh" and so does everyone else around you. Cold like that. Joke cold. Movie cold. Angry cold.
–Last night we went to see Patton Oswalt do standup comedy at Caroline's. If you've never heard of him, I would suggest that you get right on that. I haven't laughed that hard in a very long time. Here's a clip: https://www.carolines.com/#/page/play-video/107/90/patton-oswalt/
–I got a totally weird email the other day from one of my high school friends, saying that she reads my blog, and wondering if I had any control over the ads that Google serves up in the right-hand sidebar, because (this is so weird to me), on the night she was reading it, she noticed an ad for a service that will make a memorial statue for your miscarried baby. I'm not even kidding about this or making a joke about it– that's the ad that really came up, and I'm not sure why. It's not like I'm making "funny strange" jokes about those sorts of topics, so it's super-odd that they would serve up that ad. Come to think of it, what WOULD be the appropriate context for that? Now that I mentioned it, it's probably going to come up again. Weird weird weird!
So, back to regular blog schedule on Monday, and sorry for the delay in service. The coldness got to me, I guess.
