What's in your spam box?
Mr. Mousie and I went to two separate Fourth of July parades today. A small local one and the gigantic all-city one.
Wherein Mr. Mousie proved how well he knows me. One of the floats/marching groups was 'Taiwanese-Americans' so I joke-whispered to Mr. Mousie whether it would be OK to yell 'I love your dramas!' to which he replied: 'Yeah, right. You just want to ask 'Do you have such-and-such's phone number?'' LOL.
Will get to replies shortly. Promise. But for now: I have always wanted to do it.
