I created this the other day with the Keep Calm-O-Matic.

A handy thought for many situations.

Sam is obsessed with superheroes. He likes to dress up in a pull-up and a cape, which is actually the blue storage bag from his foldy tent. He calls himself “The Blue Lanter.” NOT “The Blue Lantern.” (I’ve explained to him that “lanters” don’t exist. He doesn’t care.) A plastic sword tucked into the pull-up completes the ensemble. Apparently, his superpower is housework.

After Sam’s basketball game this morning, he and I went to the laundromat to wash a rug. Sam brought some coloring books and crayons, and while we coloring as we waited for the rug to dry, he looked at me and said, “I love this day!” I told him I loved it, too.

Basil Marceaux’s latest campaign sign is sort of genius.

Chicken + Bucket + You Put the Chicken Into the Bucket = Win

Sunday’s “Dining Out” section of the TFP features a profile of Chicken-w-Wings, which is one of the most beautifully simple concepts for a restaurant I’ve ever heard.

“I wanted to start something Chattanooga doesn’t already have,” says Tim Bone, who is co-owner with his wife Melinda. He decided to start his own franchise, creating Chicken-w-Bones and opening the first of many locations in November. “I love chicken; I eat it everywhere, but no one lets you put your own chicken in the bucket. I decided to see what we could do if everybody could get all the chicken and fixings they can into a bucket.”

The restaurant’s only rule?

“The only rule is that the lid has to close on the bucket,” Bone says.

Genius. Pure genius.

Thank you, Tim and Melinda. You have inspired me.
