Horror movies almost never get under my skin, but Lake Mungo sure did. Time to go lie sleepless in the dark while waves of existential dread wash over me.

Finally found time to check out Great Council State Park, which also happens to be located not far from where I live. It’s a beautiful tribute to the Shawnee people, and I highly recommend visiting if you’re ever in the Dayton/Xenia/Yellow Springs area! ohiodnr.gov/go-and-do/pl...

I didn’t realize until we were there that this museum is next door to William Tecumseh Sherman’s birthplace! Rushed over for a tour but it was too late in the day :-(

I haven’t eaten one in years, but back when Subway was still cheap, I would eat a footlong meatball sub slathered in extra sauce, yellow mustard, and pickles at least a couple times a month

“Portrait of a Man Rising from His Chair” — Rembrandt van Rijn
