Pete: I want a doughnut.
Me: I don’t have any doughnuts, baby.
Pete: How ’bout a big doughnut?
Me: I don’t have any doughnuts at all. Not even a big one.
Pete: OK, I go get some.
Me: How are you going to do that?
Pete: I, uh, I probably go get a big doughnut.

Panic sans disco
We’re under a blizzard warning today. A blizzard warning. To which I say: Really, winter? Really? Enough already.
The only heat source we have is electric, so I am mildly panicked any time it’s cold out and they mention “possible widespread power outages.” Right now, the snowflakes are just lightly blowing about. But if they start coming down in earnest? I could escalate to full-scale panic.
Although a better idea might be to go buy a propane heater.
Janell Wheeler. She’s my “American Idol” pick. Edited to add: But she obviously isn’t yours, America. Not the first time I’ve been wrong.
