I got up at five to quietly put the dishes away from the dishwasher while my wife slept in. Now I'm back in bed and I swear she took them all out of the cupboard and is putting them back at full volume. Must not disturb the rhythms of life, I guess.

The chin-drooler leader of my state's GOP party looks just like Roy. So many do across law enforcement. I wonder what it is that draws so-called libertarians to this aesthetic.

That's why Christmas advertising starts in mid-October now. They know how few of us will have money to spend in, well, November.

Vandehei is often a guest on Morning Joe. He's "it's important to remember" personified. There's never a Republican outrage that he won't downplay.

My PCP treats me like a drug seeker and that's why I go to my dog's vet.

I had this experience at Newark on Christmas eve 2022. We sat waiting for the plane I was supposed to be on to connect to Indy to see my mom as she passed. Spent 16 hours thereafter waiting for another as a storm caused numerous cancellations. So embarrassed for how people treated staff.

By the way, this is a very culturally rich joke for a specific audience probably over 60yo.

I got married and we decided to start a family when I was a PhD student. Foolish, probably, because we were covered by some 3rd-rate company for grad employees. I had to fight over every doctor visit, and that meant waiting in line monthly to see a rep w/ dozens of other students in 2000/2001.

My niece, who has three children now herself, was on a soccer team you coached. My brother said you were a great coach (and his daughter an indifferent player).

Some people go to museums and pretend to be interested in the historical importance of the items while casing the joint for entry and some go to museums and pretend to be interested in the historical importance of the items while casing the joint for restrooms. I know where the front door is.

This is about 10 miles north of Robert Frost's farm.

Went for a stroll in the woods near Lake Massabesic in Auburn, NH. Came to an ambiguous trail and had to pull out my phone and look up Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken" to read to my wife. She took out her phone and shot back an Emily Dickinson poem. And thereafter our dangling conversation.

Just a photo of an old granite stone fence broken down from a path in the shade onto a field full of grass and wild flowers with autumn trees in the distance.

On a trail starting from the Audubon Center on Lake Massabesic in southern NH, the photo looks through a leaf-covered floor with fallen limbs and granite stones into yellow and red leafed-trees in the distance.

I wonder how my life would be different if I hadn't had to settle after an unfortunate flatulence event on the way home with the woman I pine for to this day.
