We bought it and devoured it! Thus my pull-quote: I love when you’re in A Cave State of Mind.

Okay, I’ll play; guess I have Too Much Time On My Hands…

My daughter included this sticker in her holiday card to me, in recognition of the year we’d just been through.

Looks like we’re all going to need it even more in 2026.

AC & AC are great, but my #CNNNYE is not complete until the awesome Sara Sidner shows up. Hello, Austin!

I'm grateful to @billmckibben.bsky.social and @thewaroncars.bsky.social for two of the best, and most important, books I read this year. Both are extremely accessible, and combine terrific research (both data and anecdotal), important warnings, and viable solutions. (2/5)

Full house today at my local Red Cross! Great to see so many people here to donate. Making my 179th whole blood donation, then grabbing some Nutter Butters at the canteen!

Pretty good Hanukkah gift from my brother – we went to Game 3 together.

Despite finding myself in more malls, restaurants and airports than usual this holiday season, I somehow avoided The Boy, once again winning @littledrummerboychallenge.com... and once again, it was for Fawn, a friend gone far too soon.

Listening (after Bing & Bowie) to a mix Fawn made me. Miss her.

Whoa: I-5 closed between Penrose Street and Lankershim Boulevard in the northeast San Fernando Valley in L.A. due to several feet of floodwaters on the freeway. ktla.com/weather/torr...

Yup. Staying put.

This is an ad my mobile game just served up. Gosh, wonder if they used AI?

The last of the last lights of Hanukkah.

Praying for light through, and into, the new year.

Awesome Hanukkah gift from my brother, who went with me to Game 3 of the Dodgers – Blue Jays World Series. (And yes, we stayed for all 18 innings.)

OP is saying it's a joke without saying it's a joke, and a poke at how seriously people take things on LinkedIn. (It's certainly effective engagement farming: 1,000+ reactions and 400+ comments on the initial post.)

When I *have* to drive, and I'm (inevitably) stuck in traffic, I appreciate folks who provide a little reading material.
