Used as a singular phrase meaning 'rubbish, nonsense,' this expression was first recorded in an 1827 issue of the British newspaper The Times.

One more week....
Wow! We'll be heading off to Ireland in one week... actually, less than, because we're flying out at around 8 a.m. next Saturday. I'm excited, but it still doesn't feel real to me, and I don't think it will until I actually step off the plane in Dublin.
Tod and I went to Book 'Em Mysteries in South Pasadena, because Peter Robinson was there discussing and signing his new book. It was good to see him; I think it's been a couple of years, cuz I know I didn't make it to the Strange Affair tour. I'd met Jean, one of the staff on DL, and we've had lunch, so I wanted to check out the store. It turns out it's a "clean, well-lighted place", and easy to find. I'll have to go back there again.
We also did some shopping for our trip Picked up a few things at The Citadel outlet mall near LA, and stopped at Distant Lands. And then we came home and watched the Oilers beat the Hurricanes. It was a close game, and I nearly had a heart attack, but they came through.
