Gen-X: Age of the Feral Children
It seems that even though the Boomers might have been the original Latchkey Kids, it was us Gen Xers who became the feral generation… We went out after breakfast, came home when the street lights came on, and we were anti-establishment, not jejune. We definitely had to bathe and do a load of laundry because we were definitely wearing dirty clothes at the end of the day.

Hard Bonus: WRITER’S CHOICE – going out Easy Bonus: WRITER’S CHOICE – staying in
Choices, choices!
Celebrations are good. Whether we love going out on the town, a secluded romantic area out on the lake, or staying in with a family-style gathering… Life is precious.
I used to be one to be on the go, exploring everything. I can’t do much these days but try to do what I can, and nothing gets done without help. For the moment, Just Don’t Stop Me Now. Come as you are, and if you don’t like it, just Go Away. When you’re here, you’re family, so Raise Your Glass! It’s a feast, so Eat It!

Hard Bonus: Incorporate a lyric by The Eagles
Easy Bonus: Mention a heart
warehoused love
In Wisconsin, there are 2 religions. Whatever you practice (or not), and the Green Bay Packers. For whatever reason, Super Bowl Sunday is included with Packer season, whether or not the Pack is playing or not. For those who aren’t much into pro football, there’s always college football, because cheeseheads love Bucky Badger. Win or lose, it’s always a good game with 5th quarter. No, it’s not overtime.. The Badger marching band takes the field after the game, and it’s almost 25 minutes worth of music, antics, etc. The Rose Bowl is also part of the season, regardless. Around here, this is definitely the Intentions of the Heart.
Heart understood how deep it goes when people have stuff to hide… I follow mine when it comes to knowing when people lie… There’s always something, whether it’s the line-up of excuses, backpedaling, changing the subject, or saying something so nonsensical that most people will blank out & forget the conversation at hand… Yes, I pick that up. In the words of The Eagles, You can’t hide your lyin’ eyes – And your smile is a thin disguise – I thought by now you’d realize – There ain’t no way to hide your lying eyes – One Of These Nights album, Lying Eyes
Just being simple for our Super Bowl dinner tonight, our version of pub dogs & baked beans.
For your Valentine dates, especially for those of us who don’t want to deal with people… there are pizzerias offering heart shaped treats, and Woodman’s has sushi trays that are heart shaped.

Hard Bonus: Mention a song title that has to do with food Easy Bonus: Include 3 things from your pantry
Summer Picnic!
Valentine’s Day is coming up. Maybe rather than taking your date to an overpriced chain restaurant, it’s time to write up a Grocery List and cook your favorite person’s favorite meal! Make it a smorgasbord with Food, Glorious Food! Don’t forget a Red Red Wine to go with the meal, like a Carménère to go with dinner. Some things to buy: bone-in/skin-on chicken thighs, tomato paste, Italian spices, and polenta to make chicken cacciatore. Enjoy!
