a bunch of fish are swimming in a pool with a netflix logo on the bottom Alt: Piranha coming at you.

"Maybe a silly question, but why do you have a tank full of #piranha?"

"It's soothing. A metaphor for our time. Specifically, feeding time. Watch..."

Tom got a turkey leg from the fridge and placed it in the tank. The fish went to work.

"Yeah, I can see that."

"It's theater day!!"

"What's playing?"

"Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor #Raincoat."

"I don't think you have that quite right."

"It's been updated for modern times. More people relate to a raincoat these days."

"Fair."

a woman is sitting at a desk with her hand on her face Alt: A tired young woman.

Living my life
A home and a wife
Woke up one morn
To see that my #verve
Has been kicked to the curb

“Where did it go?”
I wanted to know
Only to find
My body was tired
The date had expired

a man is standing in front of a fire in a dark room Alt: A man is standing in front of a fire.

The house fire is a seminal event. Everything a family has built is reduced to #ash.

The end of one chapter - the start of a new one.

We are builders, we are makers, we create out of nothing. The only choice is the form.

a man in a suit is talking into a microphone while another man stands behind him Alt: “Macho Man” Randy Savage playing the fool in yet another wrestling promo, with Mean Gene Okerlund trying to get a word in edgewise.

I love marketing.

…until the one next week.

#vss365

a man holding a cup and a microphone with the words that 's not a word written below him Alt: A comedian with the words “That’s not a word” written below him.

I saw the message at the bottom of the screen:

“Check our #advert in the Sunday color supplement.”

“Jenni, what the hell does that mean?!?”

“Oh, dear,” Jenni replied. “We’re watching BBC. Don’t worry about it.”

The projected demand curve for gasoline over the next 15 years.

The actions of the current US administration on energy policy have one basic tenet: to make the demand curve for gasoline less #elastic. If there is more stable demand, the friends of Donald make more money.

It’s really that simple.

It's so peaceful here at my #oasis. You would think that I'd get a stream of visitors here in the desert. Fortunately, the aliens left a cloaking device for me to use.

Lonliness is a small price to pay.

It’s a great way to exercise your writing muscles 😁

I have faith you'll be back. Remember, we have cookies...

a train is pulling into a station with a yellow line that says behind the tracks Alt: A high-speed train speeds through a station.
