What, I ask you, is the point of a "muffin bar" ...?

Nutrigrain has provided me with my first encounter with the strange hybrid creature, which is thick and rectangular (but very short, there's not much there). A cross between a granola bar and a muffin, apparently, this treat is supposed to be soft and satisfying for the entire family.

Pros:
You can fit more of them in a little rectangular box.

Cons:
It isn't really a muffin.

... I'll let you ponder these facts for yourselves.

When I dream, it is not uncommon for the old houses to have two stairways - a main, "grand" staircase, and a "back" one. I find myself using the back one more often or not. In this case ... I went upstairs to "my room" and found a stack of children's books, coloring books, and "antique" books and records blocking the door.

I moved only what was necessary to gain access into my room, and replaced the top of the pile which had been disturbed. When inside, I found that it had been ages since last I had hidden in here ... it was like an attic, and the dark wood floor was covered with dust. None of the antique light fixtures worked ... I tried them one by one, and though the last one seemed to flicker brighter, it failed as well.
