It is best to love first what you are fitted to love, I suppose: you must start somewhere and have some roots, and the soil of the Shire is deep.

I am very much trying to convince myself not to go out there and split the last round. Because my last splitting log fell apart on me a few weeks ago and if I split this one I will have nothing to chop kindling on. But I could never not eat that marshmallow, you know?

We do like five fires a year for the ambiance because western Washington winters are mild and getting milder. But the act of muscling big rounds into place, splitting them with an axe or wedge and maul and then stacking the pieces. Very fun.

I did some more splitting this morning and this may be the Minnesotan blood, but splitting big ass stubborn oak rounds is like a top five physical activity for me.

Walked three miles with a 55lb pack this morning and followed that up with several hours of splitting, hauling and stacking white oak rounds from a tree that got blown down last weekend.

Helluva day.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

I’ve been meaning to put that out there for a few weeks now and that seemed like as good a prompt as any.

My kids watch a very bad Nickelodeon sitcom called “The Thunderman’s”. Which is about a family of superheroes. One time there was some sort of ball on the show and everyone was dressed up in gowns or tuxedos and I said “I apologize, Mrs Thunderman. I was not familiar with your game”

I mean, look. I told that ICU “i’m never coming back here again!!” And all they said was

“Yeah, good, ok. That’s the point”

I don’t talk to neurosurgeons often, but it happens occasionally.

And it is very funny when they go from “oh that’s sad you got sick” to “wait, what the fuck happened to you?” to “who did your surgery?!”

Allegedly the infection was going to be put in medical textbooks and at some point I was assured of a trophy.

The worst case outcome on something like that is you succumb to sepsis and die in considerable pain. The next best is being a quadriplegic. Then paraplegic or permanent nerve deficits and the like.

One year ago on this day I was laid low by what I thought was a strained muscle in my back but ended up being a staphylococcus spinal epidural abscess.

Some neurosurgery, a few titanium vertebrae and a lifetime supply of antibiotics later, things are ok!
