Meal planning only works if you actually have the ingredients you planned for.
Tonight's pivot to French fries and Swedish meatballs was met by an enthusiastic "I've had a major craving for fries" from the man who matters most in my life. Dinner success.

I'm on a bus in Norway, heading home from church and the bus driver is listening to @maddow.msnbc.com. Not what I expected, but very glad to hear.

Well, my former government employer has not verified my time with them, as requested by background checkers, in two weeks. So that's another of the many issues with firings. Kinda hard to start a new job at the professional level if new employers can't get verification you actually worked as a fed.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Never under estimate the power of Nokia. This thing is 10 yrs old and has been sitting in the junk drawer for about 5 yrs. Charged it. And now this little dude is taking photos of everything he can find.

Kenyan #journalist Alvin Kaunda was reporting live from Nairobi when a curious baby #elephant, Kindani, decided to join the broadcast. The playful elephant stuck her trunk in Alvin's mouth, making for a hilarious moment! A joyful reminder of wildlife's charm and the work of the Sheldrick Trust!

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison.
It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

Tulsi Gabbard voted in Hawaii last year after declaring under oath she was a Texas resident and claiming a homestead exemption there. This would appear to be (1) a fraud in her loan application, and (2) voter fraud in Hawaii, where she no longer resided.

The feeling of spending time on a personalized cover letter, applying to the job, *then* catching your typo is a unique one.

Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law

I've been prepping for a 6 hour interview tomorrow (IYKYK) and my brain needed a break.
Enter "repair the Sonicare toothbrush" videos and, less than an hour later, a repaired toothbrush and my brain is ready to get back to prepping for tomorrow.

I have a major job interview this week. I've been prepping and honestly having a weird, "I've done a lot of really crazy work" as I write out these stories. Many of them seem to start with "I had no idea what I was doing" and end with "now a whole team/US Mission/foreign gov't is using my work."
