I wanted a great sandwich for lunch, so I made a Croque Monsieur (ham & cheese x10) with garlic parm chips. So delicious.

I needed some happy music today. Yes, Boston was a little schlocky and over produced, but Brad Delp was an iconic singer and Tom Scholz an innovative guitarist. I’m glad I got to see them live a few times in later years. Anyway, here’s Boston live in 1979.

I eat steak, drink bourbon, hit the gym, reminisce about my high school sports accomplishments, now I need a body count? Being one of the guys is like hitting a moving target.

Tonight I made enough oatmeal scotchies with bonus chocolate chips to freeze half of them for later. If the world is going to fall apart at least we can all have a cookie while it crumbles.

I first heard of Nino’s when someone told me it was their favorite pizzeria in Rochester. I tried it and was hooked. This was long before the era of the “artisanal” $40 pizza (which, I’ll admit, are also great). Nino’s has been around since the ‘70s, and Giacomo was always there. He’d tell you…

It seems like oatmeal raisin cookies aren’t nearly as popular today as they once were. Good riddance.

Name one of Rochester's falcons. It's your last chance to vote! Poll closes at midnight tonight. forms.gle/1n5cQv4v4u4Z...

Let Me Not Google That For You

He liked his beer like he liked his comedy, Löwenbräu.

Does it scare underperforming Mets players when they’re told they’re being sent to “a nice farm team upstate”? 😳

Breaking: Deep Fried Oreos have pulled out of The Great American State Fair.

I thought this celebration was for all 250 states, not just Florida!

People arguing in the comments whether a band had to be from the PNW to be grunge when the answer is obviously anything played on The Nerve.

The reason we think that cavemen went out to hunt while cavewomen stayed at home in the cave isn't because of anything in a relevant archaeological discovery, it is literally because the famous discoveries were made *in the 1950s*.

The seasons in Rochester, New York, but it’s a Yes song. Speak to me of summer Long winters longer than time can remember The setting up of other roads To travel on in old accustomed ways

TFW you step on a Lego

One of those nights

What’s for dessert? A grilled Fluffernutter. Seriously, it’s delicious. Sweet, rich, hot, and crispy. Plus, they’re easy to make.

Once and for all, Pluto is NOT a planet. It’s a middle aged dad. 🧢

Did Wegmans lay off all their graphic designers? Or, is this supposed to make us feel like the price isn’t insane for potato salad (despite it being delicious)?

One of those nights

Rochester folks: 6 years ago today on the southwest corner of East & Union. Hard to believe the buildings on the old Inner Loop have been around that long.

Picked up a Javelin of Lightning at D&D last week and it got me wondering about practical real-world D&D magic. Here’s the first thing I came up with: 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗽 Shorten the number of meetings your party members attend and meeting duration by 1/2. Requires long rest to regenerate.

Took this pic on Thursday and forgot to post it. The mother was probably somewhere nearby. 🦌

Will Ferrell and Chad Smith aren’t actually related. It’s a case of convergent evolution shaped by the environmental stress of performance. Smith, or Homo Tympanistas, appears millions of years earlier in the red hot Chilean desert outcrop, Ferrell, Homo Comoedus, in New York’s Thirty Rocks.

Optimist: the cup is half full. Pessimist: the cup is half empty. Copywriter: the cup comes pre-filled with the perfect amount of refreshment—now with double the space. Just add more drink and share!* *Straws sold separately. Hand wash only. Do not microwave.

I dreamt I won dinner for two in Denver at a trivia contest, because I correctly answered that it is known for its salmon. Analyze that!

Part of each day is spent reminding the dog that neighbors are allowed to exist.

People use AI like they’re a Facebook commentator who asks a question clearly answered in the post they’re commenting on.

Who decided the best way to observe Memorial Day is sitting in the backyard eating low grade meats? I’m not complaining, but…

And that’s how I learned the hard way… never drive thru the Nantucket Long John Silver’s with an I Lub Land bumper sticker. (16/16)

As far as ai know, I’ve never had this dream. I sadly only remember having the flying dream once and thankfully the final for a class I never attended only a couple times. Mostly it’s a mix of familiar and made up people in imagined locations having part mundane, part fantastic partial adventures.

I am hereby petitioning to rename New York from the Empire State to the Sea Scorpion State. Scorpiones marini omnibus

This 🧵is cool. It’s amazing what kinds of planets & stars are out there that are nothng like our solar system. ⬇️

There was a bold seagull from Omagh Who shat on Charles’ Savile Row hoopla With aim so discreet Revenge tasted so sweet And we all shouted “Tiocfaidh ár cáca!”

Saw the driver of a Jeep Grand Cherokee cut off another car, which laid on the horn, and the Grand Cherokee driver flipped them the bird. That’s not how that works. As it says in the Constitution, “Those who commit douchey deserve the klaxon’s call.”

There’s a first time for everything. I can now check off transporting leftover hash browns in a Yeti mug. ✅

Scientists named this species of hairy ghost pipefish after beloved Sesame Street resident Mr. Snuffleupagus and we're obsessed.

“I just starting maxxing.” “Ha, I’ve maxxed hundreds of times.” Maximillian: lol

I ran into the same metaphorical walls over and over, so I went to the optometrist. He said, “I can’t help you with that. Go see an ophthalmologist.” I kept running into those metaphorical walls, so I make an appointment with the ophthalmologist. She said…

WFH record of the day: The Elephant 6 Recording Co. Soundtrack to the Documentary

This would be a fun one for jumping straight to a conspiracy. Aliens? Atlantis? The Old Ones? Military-industrial complex? What have you got?
