Look around. The case for more, not less, liberal arts education - actual, real education in reading, writing, thinking, arguing, analyzing, & synthesizing by doing the actual hard work for which there is no substitute - is stronger than it’s ever been at any point in human history.

National Guard troops don't sign up to be used as political pawns. They sign up to serve their country, not needlessly deploy to American cities to pick up garbage. These two soldiers should be alive right now and at home with their families for Thanksgiving. I'm furious.

Pete Hegseth is right: Mark Kelly shouldn't be a senator.

He should take Hegseth's job and be SECDEF.

I'll be on MSNOW at 4pm to talk more about it.

Roasted Chicken Leg Quarter, with Peas and a Baked Potato. Chicken was seasoned with basil, oregano, thyme, cayenne, salt, & pepper. Peas and potato were (over)-dressed (that's the pool of oil ...) with an Italian vinaigrette.

A few years ago a Linden tree on the boulevard was blown over in a storm and absolutely crushed this tree hydrangea. I cut off the especially sad parts, then let it do its own thing. One of my better life choices, methinks.

Stove Art: Turkey Chili Stuffed Acorn Squash (www.skinnytaste.com/turkey-chili...)

I sometimes sub 1/4 cup of chunky jarred salsa for the Rotel and tomato sauce. Softening the squash in the microwave for 3 minutes on high makes it easier to cut.
