I went on a wonderful hike around town, tonight. I didn't stop at the Diner; I merely pined for it.

Tonight is the maiden voyage for my new hiking boots. I destroyed my old pair by hiking many, many miles in them. It's just below freezing tonight, perfect weather for my usual 5 miles. I'll destroy the new pair, as well!

My new hiking boots arrive today. They replace the boots that I just wore out. I WORE OUT HIKING BOOTS.

Last year I couldn't check the mail without losing my breath. Today I fast-walk 5 miles a day, at least 5 nights a week. I'm 70 pounds lighter. I feel like a living, breathing miracle.

I hereby close the books on testing third wave coffee beans in my espresso machine. Old school Italian espresso blends (Arabica & Robusta) taste so much better. More crema. More caffeine. More, more, more. Best of all: much more affordable.

President Trump just announced an idea for ethnic cleansing in Gaza, as a solution. But he's probably just joking, right? He's probably a good person, if we just gave him a chance, right?

Kids, you simply cannot be that evil. Or that cowardly. Or that gullible. But here we are.

Wake the fuck up.
