It is sleeting, so, in true masshole fashion, I took the recycling out wearing flip flops. Guys. Don't do this. You don't want to die this way. On your back. In the sleet. In your PJs. Flip flops in the bushes.

So much crazy stuff happened this year that I totally forgot we shot Katy Perry into space.

The Big Chill was the movie that made me aware (at 13) that gen x would live forever forgotten in the shadow of boomers. It is deeply poetic that this article starts with the Big Chill and then proceeds directly to the midlife crisis of millennials. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/12/28/o...

I asked AI why my electric bill was going up, and apparently there are a lot of factors. It could be seasonal changes to vampire loads in my house. Anything, really. Difficult to pin down to any specific thing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Over a decade teaching and I finally have a student from Iowa.
