It is best to love first what you are fitted to love, I suppose: you must start somewhere and have some roots, and the soil of the Shire is deep.

And without missing a beat this kid said β€œI got you”. And it wasn’t arrogant or flippant. Just a real man-to-man statement of fact and assumption of responsibility. And in that moment I really saw his dad speaking to me and it was a really nice moment on a Sunday afternoon.

One of my neighbors has a son who is 11 or so. His dad is the neighbor I like most and we were immediately friends when my family moved to this neighborhood.

So, this kid was taking Abigail and Henry out to roam in the field. Before he left I said β€œHey. Those are my babies”.

This is absolutely untrue. Jesus did not come to abolish the law and prophets but to fulfill them (Matt 5).

Old Testament law commands that the nation of Israel provide for the sojourner, widows and fatherless. (Deut 24).

It also commands forgiveness of debts every 50th year (Lev 25)

Woe to you hypocrites
For you are like cinnamon buns consumed by a child
Beautiful on the outside
But completely empty in the middle

Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?

I have asked a Murph to get me those slides, get me those parts, pass the beer and did you get enough kibble?

And it has always been pleasant

Let me ask you something. You ever met a Murph, canid or hominid that wasn’t a rock solid example of Good Dude?

I haven’t.

They say Blazing Saddles could never be made today. And that’s true but only because I don’t think they could get the timing right.

Sometimes when the waiter comes around for drink orders I order three orange whips for the table and it is profoundly amusing to me.

Last week we were at the Fred Meyer and my mom (who is a recovering alcoholic) wanted to get an absurdly priced bottle of zero proof Tequila for margaritas.

And I said; β€œDoes anybody have a a lime? Well….someone is gonna have to go back and get a shitload of limes!”

Ok, so what’s your excuse for not being the darling of independent pop rock since 2016 or so.

I simultaneously need to work with both a younger and older crowd. Because I have a potential banger of a post that references Blazing Saddles and even my own mom was like β€œbefore my time”.

I am very nearly 42 and my Grandpa was part of the Austrian occupation force in the mid-50s.

My kids have graduated from Imagine Dragons to AJR and for that I am grateful. But the timeline is a little weird.

I dunno maybe it's just me but I don't think the answer to all of this is to have leftist versions of horrible things and horrible people.

Joe Rogan is a dangerous idiot. Stephen Miller is nazi psychopath. Manosphere influencers are legit human sex traffickers.

What are you asking for, really?

Sorry if this is uncharitable or whatever but Miller’s defining attributes are contempt for the law and capricious violence. Count me out.
