I'm the grandpa in this meme...

Apologies in advance. I woke up in a very goofy mood today. God knows what will happen...

It really sucks when you look up an old friend on the internet, as one does, only to find out they died recently. This has happened to me twice in the past year, so I think I might not do that anymore...😟

My friend got busted Just the other day They said, "Don't walk, Don't walk, don't walk away" Drove him to a taxi Bent the boot, hit the back Had to play some music Otherwise he'd crack Do you, YOU Feel like I do?

An incomparable pair...

Think I might get ejected from a bar tonight in honor of Bobby Cox's passing...

I am ridiculously boring when I travel alone... Getting wild tonight with oatmeal for dinner and a baseball game on the TV...

Sometimes working on my work calendar is like playing Jenga with more dash than sense...

I was just subjected to a 10 minute harrangue about the merits of oakey Chardonnay versus non-oakey varieties... The shit you get exposed to at bars is staggering in its scope and breath... I need reinforcements!

Watching vids and I think I want to be a costumed Disney cast member at Disneyworld in my next life...

Holidays must end as you know. All is memory taken home with me: The opera, the stolen tea, the sand drawing, the verging sea... ...all years ago. 10000 Maniacs, Verdi Cries. Lyrics and music- Natalie Merchant.

For God's sake, someone come and get this delicious bag of Antioxidant Trail Mix off my damn desk....

Blessed Beltane to you all. Run around out in nature today, nude if you can pull that off without going to jail..😊

Just saw that Hawks-Knicks final score....Ouch.

And verily, the Magdalene walked among the men of Galilee, and a great stirring was upon them. For her laughter was as the fermenting of new wine and her gaze a hearth that melted the resolve of pious men like wax. — The Apocryphal Scrolls of Levi, 7:22

Wisdom is knowing which risks you are comfortable taking and sticking to that. Confucius also says that, "A risk adverse Secret Agent Man will have a happy, long and fulfilling career as a Secret Agent Man...

Some days there are just too many moving pieces...

Remember kids, in the immortal words of George Carlin- "Cop didn't see it, I didn't do it..."

I love when an error goes in my favor and I get a free beer out of it!🍺

So...I survived BTS in Tampa and am only a little more deaf from the crazy loud crowd singing every single word.

The posts that really get me are the goodbye posts from terminal patients. Even if I didn't have a clue who they are, the fact that we live in an age where strangers can read heartfelt goodbyes from someone before they die is a lot if you're the type of person that can "feel" too much...

Grew up with Falcons. Family had season tickets 77 to 97. First Matty Ice and now these draft picks... Excited as a fan for the first time in a very long time.

Ya ever notice that service at a Taco Bell is either super fast or takes about 3 business days?

All I'm gonna say is that it's a jungle out here. Keep your head on a swivel, your hand on your wallet, and your common sense running in overload...

I've witnessed many a firing shitshow in my three plus decades in my field, but never one like today... Dead man walking shows up 4 hours late and then disappears for another 2 hours before they finally corraled him long enough to give him the hook. Mind you, this is a white collar position.

Now is the time on Sprockets where we nap...

Absolute trip at Waffle House this morning... We've got small children, Boy Scouts, drug dealers down on their luck, a guy that talks to himself, two women that may or may not be coming off a shift at the Cheetah, ABBA on the loud jukebox... Breakfast of champions...

The artist is @gusfink.bsky.social and I love his off kilter, spooky stuff.

Me when I spend half my day gathering statements from idiots that work for me who can't have conversations like civilized people without cussing each other out...

So I see we've skipped Spring again and went straight to "sweating while standing still outside" season...

This might be my favorite old school personals ad ever.

Tomorrow is tax day. If you haven't done yours yet, this is for you-

Shamelessly stolen.

I should do a giveaway here too! I'll randomly select someone who retweets this to receive a signed copy of Daughter of Crows 🙂

I can't tell you how relieved I am to learn, via a recent online article, that lust and literacy can co-exist... And to think all these years, I thought Shakespeare, Balzac, Lord Byron, Henry James, Anais Nin and me were oddballs...🙄

Poor Alan...

It's days like these outside that makes me wish clothing was optional...

Morticia Adams always has the best tea. Everyone knows this...

It's TACO Tuesday...So that means civilization, as far as we know, will not end tonight. But just in case... Farewell and adieu to you, fair Spanish ladies. Farewell and adieu, you ladies of Spain. For we’ve received orders for to sail back to Boston. And so nevermore shall we see you again.

The kids are alright. Checked out this newish band from Quebec, Angine de Poitrine, and they blew me away. Yeah, their appearance is crazy, but the music is math rock at its finest. Like Primus, Buckethead, Frank Zappa, and King Crimson had a baby. Exciting to listen to as a musician.

You ever read a quote and instantly want to read the book? "It was strange walking through the empty apartment. My battered purple room was gone, Brittany's bruised blue was gone. Two coats covered everything. It was like none of it had ever happened." — Kimberly Novosel, Loved.

Spent a long overdue rainy day with an old friend beating the brush in the Westview Cemetery/Beecher's Hills area for old Union Civil War trenches. We joked, just as we had 30 years ago, that we should write a book on hidden Civil War trenches still left that are right in people's backyards. Cont...

Well, I got my "lay in bed and listen to it rain" morning just a couple of mornings too late. Ah well...It was soothing regardless.

Public Service Announcement- Get you someone that will call you out on your shit instantly, firmly and nicely. You'll be a better person for it.

It's going to be a great day!

Definitely gonna try this recipe next Thanksgiving.

If you believe the Apollo moon landings or today's Artemis launch are fake Hollywood productions, just keep on scrolling. We cannot be friends... ...because you're an imbecile.

To be clear- I am not kink shaming anyone. But I detest hypocrites with the heat of a thousand suns. They'll condemn others for being gay or Trans or whatever and the next minute they're in the VIP room at Magic City wearing a duck on their head and covered in oatmeal...

I think it's safe to say Byron Noem was not a very good Secret Agent man... As for Kristi being blindsided? Bullshit. Fuck her and the horse she rode in on.

Alright, educate ya boy... What's the difference in a situationship and friends with benefits?
