I was listing to a podcast this weekend and it referenced the County Seat, that old clothing store that used to be popular in malls.
Heard a story on NPR driving back from a friend’s house about a woman whose maiden name was Hitler. She joyfully told the reporter how as a child and teen, no one ever called her by her first name, they just referred to her as Hitler and it never bothered her. She talked about how the name is dying out as most Hitler families are giving birth to girls and others have changed their name. When she and her husband were choosing names for a baby, he really wanted the middle name to be Hitler but the husband wasn’t supportive. She also spoke of a time talking to a psychologist with the last name Phobia. When introduced to her the first time, she laughed and then apologized explaining she knows what it’s like to have a unique last name. The psychologist asked what was her name and after she answered, the psychologist doubled over in laughter.
For BoyGeeding’s Star Wars themed birthday party several weeks ago we bought wall decals to place around the house. Yesterday he moved Wicket and Slave Leia next to his bed. I fear I know what his future fetish will be.
One thing is for sure, the boy loves his Ewok, he takes him everywhere.
While writing thank you notes for his birthday presents, WifeGeeding made BoyGeeding start over as he signed many of them “Luke Skywalker”.
I’ve driven past this place a thousand times and always laughed at the name, but finally stopped by to verify if the donut was indeed gourmet. I don’t have a sophisticated pallet, but I thought it was gourmet-ish.
My back pain is still severe after numerous chiropractor treatments and massages. WifeGeeding thinks, and I think she may be correct, that I have an issue with m sciatic nerve. I thnk I may visit the orthopedic who treated my knee a couple of years ago.

A lot of people have firm convictions but often don’t attempt to study or know why they have those convictions. I’ve been trying to reason why I feel certain convictions for some things and not others, and be able to reasonably explain in a concise manner why I do.
One of my major weakness is that I lack the ability to see and comprehend the big picture.
The older I get, the more I realize I’m not very intelligent.
