What I love about Northern Mockingbirds is their audacity to sing anytime they feel like it. Call them the pop radio of nature. If there's a top 10 bird song list, the Mockingbird is singing it too.

Are real tree stumps hot pink? No. Do I or this chonky Northern Mockingbird care? Also no. ❤️

Forcing athletes to review every minute detail of the game kills the joy of playing and watching sports.
Here’s a little secret: most ballplayers are bad interviews. Add TV and a national audience and they become *terrible* interviews.

So no matter how revolutionary it is to interview the pitcher while he is on the mound or the manager etc, it’s just bad TV. And we came to watch the, you know, GAME.

I was going to write the Preamble in script, but realized an entire generation might not know how to read it.

I won't pretend to have all the answers, but I have faith we can and will figure this out together.

Went on a first date and she brought me a little succulent. On our second, she brought me a bag of her favorite coffee beans and a copy of the book she's reading. I start writing my vows now, right?

If you would've told me 20 years ago, I spend most of my days in excel spresdsheets, I would've laughed. How's your day going?

What if I spent a year making the stuff I've been dreaming about making since I was a kid?

Grief during the holidays is weird cause how do you balance "I'm so happy to see these people" with "Everything in this kitchen reminds me of you and how much it hurts you're gone." So I painted this.

Ever hear a song for the first time and feel like you've heard it before, but not in this life?

If you're giving new tech to your kids or parents, set up the device before you wrap it. You'll be able to troubleshoot any tech issues, like no software downloaded to that videogame system or phone, before the big day.

Love,

I don't even know what to post here. All I did on X was check my horoscope and scream into the void.
