I showed my wife a picture of Emil Bove and had her guess his age. He’s the same age as me (44) and she was shocked.

To be fair, I would read the Soldier of Fortune take on Eugene O’Neill. Unlike the WSJ take on Cash.

Rare indeed is the headline-and-dek combo worth noticing, or caring about. In many publications these aren’t even written by the same person who wrote the actual blog; at any rate they’re many…

There’s a book of his I picked up years ago from the library that I requested again. Time to give him another shot.

‘‘Tis the time of year for swallowing bugs while running. 5 in my mouth, one up my nose, and who knows how many in my hair in just two miles.

I was at a lecture from a county coroner and she said that in her experience, cats had never taken a nibble but almost every home with a dog had.

Olathe, because even the GPS hasn’t updated the correct pronunciation. After doing call center work, I’m pretty good about most local pronunciations if I don’t think too hard about it.

Merriam-Webster @merriam-webster.com · 3d

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

I really need to organize our books (mainly mine, Laura’s much more of a digital reader) and I know it will take at least three days as I start reading some, find old photos and receipts and reminisce, and decide if it should go on the porn shelf or not.

I’ve made it through two DeLillos and 0 Pynchon, but to be fair to Pynchon I’ve only tried Gravity’s Rainbow.

I’m a little suprised the Alien movies aren’t on there. Too many solid if not great movies?

I thought the Coney Barrett was terrible, in part because it read like The Supreme Court for Dummies instead of any of her personality or real legal thinking.

I hate taking on the phone but I blame most of that on years of call center work.

I’m suprised they answer the phone, but I know it’s possible to spoof phone numbers on caller id.

I have a tattoo that says “you may be the fate of Ophelia, sleeping and perchance to dream” which refers to the Grateful Dead song I’m named after. I haven’t heard the Swift song yet but I’m not looking forward to explaining that I’m not a Swiftie.

Taylor Swift nods to Travis Kelce more times than you think in ‘The Fate of Ophelia’ music video

The music video for the first single off of "The Life of a Showgirl" premiered via YouTube on Sunday, two days after its movie theater release.
