📰 About once a month, I check the headlines from the small newspaper of the town where I grew up.
Today's top headline: the town planning board banishing electric school buses from the municipal garage because they might explode.

🧢 The photo my wife picked for the front of the Christmas card this year is one in which I'm wearing a Paw Sox hat.
I might live in Virginia, but at heart, I'm as Rhode Island as eating clam cakes at Chelo's next to one of the Cardi brothers (a real thing I've experienced). 🛋️

🚗 I've lived in roughly a half-dozen places since college.
All but one of them claims they have the worst/most aggressive/most clueless drivers in America.
Connecticut, on the other hand, claims everyone around them does.

While I would like the Patriots to win the Super Bowl, I would also like a Colts-Bears Super Bowl for an excuse to play the Prince halftime show on a constant loop until 6 PM that Sunday.

It is remarkable how much of our sports-related happiness is reliant on 1) where we grew up and 2) a decision we made at 17-18 years old.

📻 Making a brief cameo on SiriusXM Pop2K a few times this week... fun throwback to my radio DJ days (but this time, music from after I was born.)
The reaction texts I've received from former coworkers who didn't know me in those days have been fantastic.
