On one hand, I feel bad that I’m the only one in the house using this. But the other hand is juggling a cigar and a Sazerac.

I wish for Jimmy Carter the kind of heaven he imagined and worked to create during his time with us. May his memory truly be a blessing.
I also wish that Donald Trump gets super pissy about the flags being at half staff during his inauguration. Because Carter wasn’t petty, but I sure as fuck am.

It is disturbingly on-brand that I just used a library card to remove a magnet from the ceiling in our admin offices, looked around and said “See? Always useful!”

I had the kind of day where you look up into the sky and ask “are you just dicking me around at this point?”
The sky said yes.

The best thing about hearing folks on the radio talk about sargassum is imagining having two reasons to roll your eyes in bed.

For God’s sake let us sit upon the ground,
And tell sad stories of the death of kings:
How some have been depos’d, some slain in war,
Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed,
Some poisoned by their wives, some sleeping kill’d,
Some hooked on bullshit homeopathy.

For those who haven’t experienced it, the local florist shop at 4 p.m. on Valentine’s Day is the most wholesome example of spontaneous male bonding I have seen outside of a gay bar.

So I suppose the freedom of having a social media space to vent, and a decidedly small audience is that I can probably talk mental health and work in an honest fashion here. So I’m gonna do that a bit.

When you are old and cringe and full of shit,
And nodding by the screen, look at this take,
And wonder back, to youth you tried to fake,
You’ll feel more joy, the sooner you commit.

Seeing a lot of discourse RE: younger millennials bemoaning that they're Old and Cringe now and I just want to reach out and reassure today's youth that the best strategy for remaining relevant in a fast-paced world is to simply NEVER be even faintly cool or on-trend, at all, ever

Weighing the merits of putting the wacky waving inflatable arm-flailing tube menorah on a timer this year.
On the one hand, I have a glut of unavoidable evening meetings, on the other hand, the lighting of it is kinda the point.

While I’ll save calling out shitty companies for my other social media, it is vexing how much effort I need to expend just to get a quote from a vendor.
I am trying to spend money on your product. Stop making me work so hard.

Inside of you there are two weasels. One knows that craving external validation is unhealthy. The other just figured out that someone saying something nice got them a whole day of productivity yesterday.

20th HS reunion reflection: I’m pretty sure that if teenage me saw this middle-aged dad chasing the high of plunking out Soul Coughing songs on a borrowed bass in the basement of a friend’s college rental, and having everyone join in….
I’d have done very little differently.

Another email thread about eclipse programs next year, and I am reminded of 2017, when a parent asked me to reschedule our event for later in the day.
I have done many things for our patrons, moving the moon is still outside my area of expertise.

Mike Pence, who insists on decorum
Could not bring to the caucus a quorum
He’ll be wroth for the south
Where they froth at the mouth
But the closest he’ll get is Santorum.
