Me: *Carrying apparently 100 pound bed frame headboard in giant box up steep stairway.*

8-year-old son: DAD! DAD!

Me: *tries not to tumble down stairway while stopping.* ...yes son?

8y.o.s.: The Titans QB1 just threw an interception!

Me: ...okay then.

Happy winter solstice to you all. Tomorrow every day gets a little longer and has a little more light in it. Isn't that nice? Can't we all use a little more light in our lives?

Here's a short song for the long night.

We renovated our house last year and we're finally having an open house type thing after new years just for neighbors so they can come check it out, and it's like waaaay too many people, so I'm getting excited every time I get a notice that someone responded they can't make it.

Bowen Yang was a rare bright spot in an otherwise mostly lousy SNL era where the show mostly failed to develop breakout cast members or produce great sketches. I think it's in a better place this year, and I get him leaving before he burns out or we get tired of him, but he will be missed.

Watched St. Vincent doing Bowie's Young Americans on the Late Show and realized Jason Falkner is playing guitar for her these days, then realized how weird it is that I can still pick Jason Falkner out in someone else's band so many years after Jellyfish, The Grays, and his own solo career....

As someone who grew up with Patrick Dempsey as the nebbishy wannabe-Matthew-Broderick of Can't Buy Me Love, it's really hard getting my head around him now being deemed universally cool and sexy.

Romeo & Juliet set against the backdrop of the families are just two old neighbor dudes with leaf-blowers blowing leaves endlessly back and forth between their houses.

Today on "What's Stuck in Matt's Headspace?": This song straight cracks me up *and* it grooves. That bass, man. So solid. So sexy. So in control.

Don't mess with Badu.

I load the dishwasher like a mildly autistic packing crate loader trying to fit everything in 3D-jigsaw-puzzle-style to every available bit of space in the box.

My wife loads a dishwasher like a feral raccoon tossing stuff about a dumpster looking for a cheese rind.

How does one learn to eat slowly? I honestly don't know how not to just wolf down the food in front of me. Aren't you all afraid someone's gonna take that away if you don't eat it *right* now?

Might swing down by the Donald Trump Washington Monument to pay my respects at the Donald Trump Vietnam War Memorial and the Donald Trump Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool before grabbing a bite at Donald Trump's Ruth's Chris Steakhouse this weekend.

Today on "What's Stuck in Matt's Heaspace?": What a career Suzanne Vega's had. Her music covers a surprisingly wide range of genres and interesting explorations, with her soft (but steady) voice, observatory lyrics, and emotional intelligence always at the center of it.

Sometimes it feels like the country is a giant old house and he's a decrepit old man with an explosive diarrhea problem who moved in and just started spattering literal shit everywhere and you're just watching the shit hit every surface and wondering how you'd even begin to get all the stains out.
