The sky was looking ominous so I asked my phone "surely it can't rain today?" To which Siri responded "yes it is going to rain, and don't call me Shirley" it was at this point I knew my phone was on airplane mode.

As a reminder, don’t believe everything you see or read online today.

Which is actually pretty good advice every other day of the year, too.

Tried a new spin on mashed potatoes last night using small red russets blended with sour cream and sautéed onions and garlic. Turns out I used about twice as much of the onion as needed for proper balance. So, obviously, I have to get another bag of potatoes to boil and mix in to dilute everything.

Raisin cookies that look like chocolate chip cookies are the main reason why I have trust issues.

I still miss velcro sneakers. I also miss the days when having velcro sneakers was considered cool.

Apparently, AI really has no idea what a croissant is supposed to look like.

Be that as it may, I'm still craving a croissant this morning. The real kind, not the AI kind.

Did you ever notice that people who wear camoflauge out in public are not getting the point of camoflauge?

I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at a floor and think, "I'd so tap that."

I'm up. I'm in my office. I have coffee. The jury is still out on whether I am awake of not, though...

Found out this morning that someone broke into my house and stole my limbo stick. Honestly...how low can you go?

Had go in the office today for the first time in two weeks for a meeting.

Can you sense my joy of being in the meeting?

Every time I hear Kenny G playing at CVS it's non-consensual sax.

One thing about being a traffic reporter: the more bored you are, the better traffic is.
