Not my preferred terrain for a stroll.
In non-metaphorical news, the A-10 hoops tourney is at Boardwalk Hall in AC this weekend, Holly's in town the next weekend, and my fantasy baseball draft is the weekend after that. And a lot of work in between.

"So I told him ...
'Don't get your panties in an uproar!'"
Mom and I were eating at a diner a while ago and the two guys at the adjacent booth were talking. Not shouting, not even talking particularly loudly, just loudly enough that we couldn't help overhear what they were saying. And I almost choked on my pancakes when the one guy said that.
For my money, that's a mixed metaphor too good not to use again. I thought of it just now while watching a "Sports Night" episode wherein Dan asks Casey, "Can I spread it out for you in a nutshell?" (Not effectively, no.)
