I was born in 1962; you do the math. (See also: I'm too lazy to remember to update this thing regularly.) I bought my first house in the summer of 2009; I share it with four cats and with the memories of The Runt and Little Girl, who both passed away in 2011. Rocky, the cat for whom this blog was named, passed away in 2008; I miss them all. I wish I lived somewhere where the winters weren't eight months long; other than that, life is good.
I give people a thumbs up all the time! Are you saying I should stop? Damn. I feel a little embarrassed when I do it with my ESL students, though. Body language is very important when people don't speak the language, but if they don't use thumbs-up in the same way we do, I could be responsible for some serious international incident :-)

thanks for the laugh!
I always seem to respond to the movie ticket seller's "Enjoy the movie" with "Thanks, you too!"
I'm such a dork sometimes.
At least you didn't attempt to "fist bump" them. "Thumbs Up" is serious enough to start worrying a little bit though.
Let's work on that, shall we??

Haha, Anonymous, I say "same to you!" all the time, sometimes in totally inappropriate situations. And then I cringe.
Rob, you know what's the dorkiest thing in the world? When dudes chest bump each other! That's just ... wrong.
And Kate, yeah, let's not go starting any trouble, okay? :)
