Hi, friends! I love you! I decided to start meditating, and I’ve gotten into a great little routine: I sit in my chair, I put on my noise-cancelling headphones, I turn on Headspace, and then my dog Cyrus jumps up onto the bed and situates his face about a foot and a half from mine, and stares deeply and disconcertingly into my eyes. Let me tell you, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO MEDITATE while your dog is trying to mind-meld with you! We are working on it, though! Life is very much a journey!
This week, Reneice made caramelized bananas in maple-walnut sauce, and I may never eat anything else ever again.

I had to do research for that comment (my first mental image was of Shane as a greaser, but then I realized that was probably more of a North American thing so I went searching for info on British subcultures of the 1950s) so I appreciate your appreciation of my Googling efforts
i still don’t know what a teddy boy is but i’m excited to find out
From what I can tell they were kind of a cross between greasers and Edwardian-era (hence “Teddy”) dandies
I don’t know it either but it left me singing “Oh, Teddy boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling/From glen to glen, and down the mountain side…”
As a half-Brit costume slut I highly appreciated your research, thank you, thank you.
*bows deeply*
Your effort truly paid off. Much appreciated for that idea in my brain now.
