Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

There hasn’t been a better 11 year run in the history of Kansas City sports. The Chiefs have been a whole lot of it.

Proud of our team and grateful for an amazing run in Kansas City. #ChiefsKingdom

I was devastated to hear about the loss of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer. Rob is a generational talent that used his voice to advocate for a better world. We live in a better country because of them. They will be missed.

Baking Journal;

Spice Cake and Sesame Snaps.

More holiday baking made a couple days ago. The spice cake is another recipe my Mom likes to make and she wanted to make one.

Same for the Sesame snaps because of how easy it is to make and it only takes about 20 minutes.

I can’t be the only one feeling sad and overwhelmed by an absolutely lengthy list of horrific news this weekend.

If you’re struggling, you’re not alone. It’s a lot to process.
