Ah, another side effect of the recent downturn in temperatures, my 11-year-old son Jacob’s socks have burrowed down deep to stay warm.

A normal looking throw pillow, which also serves as…

a stealthy sock covering.

 Stay warm, young socks.  Stay warm.

Bonus Material – Okay, I have a hang up.  Okay, I have several, but here is the one that bothered me today.  When I log into my email, I receive a “news” feed.  Fine, all well and good, except that it combines actual “news” and “entertainment news,” as if it was on equal footing.  A fall in Airbus stocks, followed by “news” that the on-again off-again couple, Chris Martin and Jennifer Lawrence, appear to be planning for the future.  What?  Really?  Please, some separation folks (no, not you, Chris and Jennifer, I was referring to “world news” versus “entertainment news”).  Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy seeing Jennifer Lawrence’s face appear in my news feed, but it just makes me want to type “ugh.”  Well, on the brightside, it gives me an excuse to rerun my favorite blog post, “That’s cold(play).”  Enjoy.
