In this year's music sum you will be able to guess that my kids are Gen Z and I am Gen X (even down to the use of Apple Music 😂). Special shout out to my kids who always play the coolest music around me and then I hurry up and put it on my own playlists. #2025 #yearend

How can I believe the first number when the second number is not a real number ? Man, even the local F*X news can't get basic stuff right.

Surely not the only historian who thinks long weekends are for writing?! Is it finally no longer winter in Chicago? maybe.

My youngest will be graduating from Uni soon 😭& one thing I've enjoyed over the last 4years is being a member of the local bookshop in WI & perusing w/ him during visits. He uses it more than me, but I picked up this lovely darling last weekend.
