"Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now."

"If I weren't a lesbian, I'd jump your bones."
That line, possibly the finest bit of dialog in television history, was uttered in last night's episode of Criminal Minds, which I try to catch whenever I remember it's on (I would TiVo it, but that would consume valuable space better used for recording The Wiggles). If you haven't seen the show, it's sort of like CSI but with a team analyzing evidence of the perpetrator's mental state and motives instead of hair fibers and DNA.
Mandy Patinkin is the star, and I though I didn't think he could pull it off, I have to say that he does a great job. The other characters are generally well-written and acted, too, and the plots are generally interesting. They play against expectations a lot and usually manage to slip in some sly humor, as well.
The Tea Total. Last weekend The Wife went to a baby shower in Shreveport, leaving me alone with the brood, and I stumbled into an interesting experiment. I finished the last of our iced tea Friday evening and whipped up a fresh pot Saturday morning, allowing me to measure my tea intake over the next two days.
The result: from 6am on Saturday to 6pm Sunday, a period of 36 hours, I managed to drink 3 quarts of tea, as well as two Dr Peppers and a couple of glasses of milk. Truly, I am a well-hydrated individual.
