- Nothing says “I’m sick of turkey!” like driving across town to buy fresh lobsters.
- One benefit of living and working in a city with a major transportation hub is having a seafood company that sells fresh seafood out of their warehouse.
- I didn’t know this, but lobsters are graded based on condition and appearance. Of course, they were out of the more economical, but still delicious, grades, so our lobsters were not only succulent and tasty, but also pretty. That made a huge difference as they were being cracked, broken, and ripped limb from limb.
- Twasn’t cheap, but it brought the price down low enough that it can be a rare treat instead of a every-couple-of-years luxury.
- Boo was hesitant about the big bugs with rubber bands on their claws for a few moments, but then started checking them out pretty thoroughly.
- He declared that he preferred claw meat to tail meat, and honestly, who can blame him?
- I just hope he doesn’t start making this his answer to “You’ve been really good, so you pick out dinner”.
- You never know just how loved you are until you start cutting up lobsters in a house with cats.
- Lazy Bike Commuter and Suburban Ninja were by on their way home from Thanksgiving. It’s good to share a cup of coffee and conversation with friends.
- I introduced Boo to “Pigs in a Blanket” today because I was too busy to really cook at lunchtime. He thought it was outstanding.
- Hot dogs and crescent roll dough for lunch, lobster and smashed potatoes for dinner. The boy liked both ends of the spectrum.
- Girlie Bear finished reading “Brave New World” today. Can’t wait for the “Dad, what exactly was that all about?” conversations to begin.
- I’m going to give her something a little lighter to read. I think I might introduce her to techno-thrillers.
- The kids and I have been watching the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation over the past few days. I must say, I could never make it as a Star Fleet captain.
- “Oh bother, they’ve kidnapped one of my officers and are refusing to release her. Guess I’ll come up with a convoluted plan to get her back.” wouldn’t work for me.
- Mine would be more like “Pinpoint exactly where she is, then start bombing everything that’s not close to her from orbit until they send up smoke signals that they’re ready to send her back, along with the genitalia of the jerk who took her.”
- Also, is it just me, or do the plagues and wars of the next couple hundred years in the Star Trek universe kill off all the unattractive humans?

And, yes, the socialist utopia that is the The United Federation of Planets does, indeed, discriminate against those less pretty than some Hollywierd Ideal.
