If I could pick two people today from my skyline to have dinner with it would be the guy who reports on Jeopardy! players shaking hands and the moot who tracks how bad people are at guessing the value of a boat showcase on the Price is Right.

Me, getting dropped off at 30th Street Station Amtrak last week instead of PHL airport.

Time to hoard bucatini again.

26,000 tons?

This post about trains posted while riding a train.

This update from a colleague departing PHL this morning has me happy this conference was close enough I could take a train. "TSA line had to be a mile long at 3:45am this morning. I got through it in 45 minutes. TSA agents were working hard this morning."

Got a piece of apple pie to go from the hotel restaurant, intending to eat it for breakfast, but they brought it out warm and with a side of ice cream. Ok, ice cream and half the pie.

I'm moderating a panel next week and the conference organizer asked me to add an "I am speaking" thing to my LinkedIn. Virginia folks will know why I can't bring myself to do it. Aside from neglecting that platform in general.

Did not expect to need a knife for dessert....

This was a fire drill I did not need this morning.

My favorite nail polish colors: Strawberry Margarita (E) Got Myself into a Jambalaya (O) Watermelon (E) Less is Norse (O) Aurora Berryalis (O) Off Tropic (E) (Un)Guilty Pleasure (E) Vodka & Caviar (O, DC'd 😭)

The family business sponsored a youth baseball team and he paid extra to the screen printing shop in town for his team's shirts to be a different color. Easier to spot the Coach/team if you forgot the field assignment. And he brought Dilly Bars for the last game.

Success! Next time I will make the icing thicker, and maybe chill the loaf before drizzling in hopes of more of it staying on the loaf.

I bought a pint of blueberries on impulse the other day and haven't been eating them. Which calls for a baking project. www.livewellbakeoften.com/blueberry-le...

Jury summons with less than 2 weeks' notice. Is that typical?

Good morning to all, and especially the gal with light sabre-wielding raccoon tattoo on the blue line.

Beautiful day for a lunch walk and early voting.

I can't recommend this play enough if you're in the Boston area. One more showtime tomorrow at the Greater Boston Stage Company in Stoneham. Part of the co-world premier of "Featherbaby".

I hope the folks who service my car on Wednesday like gingersnaps. I'm stressbaking and it's my go-to recipe when I have an odd number of eggs.

What's the meaning of the bundt-bunt sequence in my follows?

The handful of people swarming for the moment the conference breakfast opens are my people. I'm not so sure about the apple butter on this sausage-egg-cheddar sammich.

A picture from my morning walk with easter eggs for friends who enjoy baking, hydroelectric power, and/or postal real estate.

Frosted brownies with a frozen gel pack required additional screening but cleared TSA with me.

I run the family March Madness MBB pool and the prize is a pan of secret- (but not "special") recipe brownies. The winner lives in the metro where I travel tomorrow for work so today is baking day! 👩🏼‍🍳

Inova primary care appears to be denying requests for a prescription due to no CDC recc at this time. :/

Nostalgia add to my grocery list. "Chicken in a Bisket was launched in 1964, a busy time for cracker experimentation..."

I have this and the image in the OP in my screenshots folder from 2021. Good reminder how much illness these prevent.

There is a chance that Gin from Alexandria has seen my bra straps.

Heck yeah! New Mexico "...Department of Health has issued a public health order that removes those limitations so that pharmacies can vaccinate people of all ages, including children under 6 months old..." www.koat.com/article/stat...

Buncha non-pharmacists are about to learn how different laws are between states.

I still remember the poison control hotline: 800-222-1222

Friday of a three-day weekend seems like a good day to finish the homework for first aid/CPR recert. Training to be a lifeguard was a PhyEd elective at my highschool so I'm 25+ years certified.

Just me pasting a screenshot of this meme into an editing comment to playfully(?) tell an author that mentioning anemia risk isn't enough...the article needs to recommend screening.

My oatmeal supplier announced a limited-time flavor that sounded good. It got delivered today aaand it's meh. But it's still going to keep me regular and my cholesterol in check.

Will I donate blood for a pulled pork sammich? Yes. Donate blood, save a life!

Fun times. I just uploaded my measles titer report to the city health department so they can classify me as immune if the Medical Reserve Corps needs to activate volunteers for a measles response.

Coffee...needs a break? Beans are getting tariffed and the brewing machine manufacturer got bombed.

The #ShowMeYourKnits prompt this week is: stripes. This is my Robinia Tee knit in Blue Sky Fibers Organic Cotton. 🧶

Passive-aggressively putting the skunk stamp on a medical bill that should be $0. But it started at $3,500 so I'm calling it close enough.

I'm really delighted over how many bands can be ships. Schoonerhouse Rock?

Delta I need you to stop upgrading me to a middle seat in comfort (contrary to preferences set in skymiles profile) when I had a perfectly lovely aisle exit row seat.

Crop art at the Renwick! Field trip @jenvestal.bsky.social ? Opens 8/22 www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

Tonight it was macerated cherries and crushed Selena Gomez Oreos.

I finished knitting a pair of Really Useful Gloves in the middle of a heat advisory. Can't wait for crisp fall mornings. Free pattern in the quoted post of the quoted post. 🧶 #ShowMeYourKnits

Bunyon?

I don't care. Fuck off. You do not have my permission to go on like a blister in the sun. The size of your hands does not make you The One.

QS to catch the MSP feed

Remember the A-A-ron skit? A new coworker has one of the other names in the roll call and I need to stop reading in the substitute teacher's voice.
