Summary

Well, our kids are back at school once again, so apparently (this week, at least), Melanie and I  have some freed up mental space to clock a collection of mild frustrations and also grievances. We discuss them, of course, along with a couple of internet-y things that have recently brought me all manner of joy.

We also share some anticipation about college football ('TIS THE SEASON), and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites.
