Cleaning cat vomit off of painted concrete is easier than you think. Follow me for more daily affirmations.

I had forgotten how much is involved in moving into a new home. Also, I had no idea I had all these cool comics.

This is who runs this account.

Okay, so hear me out. The young man in "Piano Man" (Billy Joel) eventually grows up to be the "Rocket Man" (Elton John), and reflects on his missed opportunities as a father in "Cats in the Cradle" (Harry Chapin). His son eventually grows up to be the father in "Father and Son" (Cat Stevens).

This was fun to see. I was surprised by how many guests stayed through the hour long power outage but even more surprised to see how many people drove over *during* the outage because they wanted to hang out and play in the dark.

Describe your favorite movie in the most misleading way possible. "A modern re-imagination of the 1957 drama 'Zero Hour'"

It’s turtle season at Hilton Head.

When I was a kid, we called this "paranoia."

Today, whilst driving in South Carolina, I discovered the phrase "tarp your load," and I intend to use it in every setting imaginable.

Getting ready to listen to Marc Scibilia. He doesn’t seem to be on Bluesky yet so here’s a link www.marcscibilia.com

I'm back in her good graces after a few scritches.

My head canon is that The Decemberist’s “The Sporting Life” and Fountains of Wayne’s “All Kinds of Time” are the same game from two different perspectives.

Gracefully resting cat was not interested in me photographing her, so instead we have a photo of her yelling at me.

I think Putin just drunk dialed me.

I hadn't heard of @ilvolo.bsky.social until tonight, but they're concert was incredible. Their rendition of Queen's "Who Wants to Live Forever" was awesome and completely unexpected.

At the @ilvolo.bsky.social concert at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center. Mom is positively giddy with anticipation.

First in line to donate blood at @meeplemadness.com today, and the van is already getting full with two more in the chairs and three waiting in line.

I'm not the hotstepper, Nor the lyrical gangster, No crew ina di area, Still love you like that.

At GAMA Expo with the lovely Priya. Got to play the second edition of Parks today - the new artwork is beautiful. And, no, I don't know why I put my hand on my own ass in this photo.

I enjoyed Captain America: Brave New World, but my suspension of disbelief was hindered by some completely unrealistic scenes. I can accept surfing on missiles, and the altered physics of how a shield bounces, but having politicians accept responsibility for their actions is a bridge too far.

Harvey Danger’s Flagpole Sitta still carries.

Autocorrect keeps changing “Lyft” to “Smurf” and it makes everything awkward.

At the airport and I just overheard someone say “the exclusivity elements of the ideation,” and I can’t stop thinking about what that might mean.

I wonder what the web statistics for Bluesky.com look like after bsky.app arrived on the scene. I know I visit them far more often than I ever intended. Still, nice planners.

BlueSky confession: I've never seen Office Space.

My life hack is making sourdough chocolate chip cookie dough and then freezing it into cookie balls for a bake-on-demand experience.

The older I get, the more I appreciate a bathroom stocked with matches.

I think now's a good time to remind folks that these two TED talks exist: www.ted.com/talks/rives_... www.ted.com/talks/rives_...

Today went from "I'm going to eat one square of this Caramello Bar" to "There's only one square left, it'd be silly to save it" in the course of about 180 seconds.

At @meeplemadness.com we're always excited to see new titles from @smirkanddagger.bsky.social. Backing A Place for All My Books was an easy decision. www.kickstarter.com/projects/smi...

Once again embarking on the Great POS hunt to see if we should renew our current contract or find an alternative when it expires in 6 months. POS in that sentence is Point of Sale which is often a POS. In *that* sentence, the second POS is. . . PS - I really wish editing posts was a thing.

I don't drink coffee, but we recently switched to a @nespressousa.bsky.social. To use our existing stash of coffee, I've been repacking pods. Fine grinding the off-the-shelf coffee and then gentle tamping in 15 gram of powder gives you a 17 gram pod that works quite well.

Finished: The Power of Moments: Why Certain Experiences Have Extraordinary Impact About half way through: The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness Really need a lighter title for the next audiobook.

I don't really know much about them, but I really enjoy Starburster by @fontainesdc.bsky.social. That track may have some of the most musical inhales of the decade.

Opened up a tin of anchovies too enthusiastically and now I've had my second wardrobe change for the day.

What started out as a white noise machine for privacy whilst on conference calls has turned into daily "alone time" for one of the cats.

I still get mild panic attacks when I realize I’m listening to music on my AirPods whilst using an airport urinal.

A little de-icing before heading eastward.

Recently discovered @michiganderband.bsky.social on one of Apple Music's playlists. Have been adding tracks to our shoppe's playlist (licensed through soundtrackyourbrand.com).

Anyone in the Atlanta area that has dined with Vice Taco Truck (www.vicetaco.com)? We're looking to have them out for our 10th Anniversary party in March. They look yummy; hoping to visit them next week to try a plate or two.

Standing still while listening to Rush’s Red Barchetta feels very wrong. Where’s a good four on the floor when I need it?

Flying to San Jose, CA to say a goodbye to our dear friend Arlet. Taken too soon. ALS (www.als.org) is a terrible disease.

Found this on Reddit today: xo.jmpdrv.com It has kind of an old school vibe - reminds me of Sun Dog (www.mobygames.com/game/8256/su...) in a way, but not really. I've only played the tutorial, but I like it so far.

I really miss the original Pikmin Bloom where you could just walk around planting flowers and not have to play mini games to get enough resources to plant flowers. I had hoped they would focus on that and, by now, I'd have a lush forest garden thriving in the virtual dimension of my neighborhood.

Those to Come by The Shins.

Did Blondie ever explain why the Man from Mars stopped eating cars and bars, only to subsist on a diet of guitars?

Shaky Cam in expectation of the delicious hot chocolate. The one on the left has smoked sea salt on top. The one on the right is embellished with a toasted marshmallow.

In 2021, I wrote: Lately, FaceBook reminds me of the lyrics of Randy Scouse Git. Every post is like... Why don't you be like me? Why don't you stop and see? Why don't you hate who I hate Kill who I kill to be free Not much has changed. And, like a bad pointer, I've become self-referencing.
