One of my friends had that lunchbox! I think I was rocking an ALF lunchbox around that time (I bought one on eBay several years ago after feeling nostalgic. It sits in my game room).

And because I was in a Blink-182 ripoff band in the late 90's/early 2000's... youtu.be/UVPdkfVYvk0?...

Pretty much anything by Sinatra or Crosby. As an adult, I've come to love Lennon/Ono's "Happy XMas (War Is Over)" and David Bowie/Bing Crosby's "Peace On Earth/The Little Drummer Boy." The latter's such a wild clash of old and new (at the time), & Bing died a month later.

One of my wife's favorites, and I don't mind that one bit. It's delightful. Sign me up for "Love, Actually" while you're at it.

Thank you! He's as close to an actual brother as I'll likely ever have (you too, @excitemike.bsky.social).

He's a great IG follow... and one of my favorite human beings, in general.

You see this, Bret, you magnificent bastard?

Thanks! I'll hit him up in the morning. I think he'll be game. He and I share a mutual disdain for Elon Musk and Trump... so probably. :)
