   November 2017

01: Stranger Things and vomiting - For some reason Gretchen's body decided tonight that she needed to have a completely empty stomach.
02: big pit bull head serving as a counterbalance - Too much yarfing in the forest for Neville.
03: a bit too Spielbergian - Enjoying Stranger Things, but not as much as Gretchen does.
04: confederacy of communist cafés - We try out a new coffee shop in Stone Ridge.
05: a space alien driving a human-shaped vehicle - Also, a tiny painting of a spider.
06: the pokeweed lives on - I'll know when we've had our first frost, because it will resemble the pumpkins in the second season of Stranger Things.
07: passing for service dogs - Ramona and Neville in Outdated on election day, the day Trumpian tactics show their limits in Virginia.
08: even some Adolph's Meat Tenderizer - Trying to make the carpet smell better in the basement Gunther bedroom.
09: videographer visit - We are the subjects of some prison clemency propaganda.
10: November tank draining - It's cold enough to worry about them freezing solid.
11: like a four-cylinder Harley Davidson - A new battery in the Subaru, whose exhaust system has rotted away a bit more.
12: a bit much for the roof rack - Maybe don't put seven 12 foot two by eights of treated lumber up there.
13: on the wrong side of nature's schedule - Waiting too long to gather pine needles.
14: the limits of the all-SQL approach - The challenge that made me give up and revert to a hybrid of PHP and SQL code.
15: two approached to embedded tokens - Gather round children for another lesson in mid-skill tool design.
16: sometimes with a bag of licorice herbal tea - What I often put in my gin.
17: general fall-through-the-cracksedness - Also, watching the new Hansen vs. Predator.
18: Thanksliving 2017 - Free tickets prove unexpectedly expensive. Also, four creepy pedestrians walking in the cold rain.
19: the brain has trouble completely switching context - In the Hannaford thinking everyone is a predator after watching too much Chris Hansen content on Youtube.
20: throwing good viewing hours after bad - Not especially enjoying Mr. Robot while on a semi-legal pharmaceutical cocktail.
21: two knees and three problems - Xrays reveal the terrible state of Neville's knees.
22: dinner without beans - I miss an Facebook comment Gretchen makes to my mouse painting post asking if I could somehow prepare a dinner that does not contain beans.
23: Thanksgiving, 2017 - Six people, three of whom went with me to the laboratory for a smoke break.
24: Black Friday pizza and movie - Somehow two people blew $100 at a pizza restaurant.
25: sure potential shoplifters are clear - Anti-shoplifting measures in the Home Depot copper fittings aisle.
26: what one should do on a Black Friday weekend - Probably not workplace work.
27: reticulate menorah IV - A somewhat simpler design.
28: TI-83 rabbit hole - People have made UNIX-like operating systems for this thing.
29: the cans of the early 80s - You couldn't melt them with a soldering iron, I know that.
30: advanced since I last really paid attention - Still riding that calculator nostalgia wave.
