We've reached the point in the blizzard where some of the wind gusts throw enough snow against the windows that it sounds like my room is going through a car wash.

And it's just getting started.....

Satan asks that everybody stop associating him with Tr*mp. Even The Devil has his standards.

Math. Not. Mathing.

Years ago there was a three legged stray in our neighborhood we also named Tripod. The other neighborhood cats left him alone but when he started slowing down we brought him inside and our other two cats looked after him for the rest of his life.

Pro tip: Don't ever yell "shut up and sing" during a concert. Your name isn't on the marquee. Nobody paid to hear you.

Note - I'm not going to say the venue or performer, only that the artist handled it well, better than I would've.

I know it's February, but this is some bullsh.....

Here a bot, there a bot, everywhere a bot-bot

The Supreme Court referred to it as a concentration camp in Korematsu v US.

Who wore it worse?

I have sometimes said "not my first rodeo" to refer to something I've done before. Soon I will be attending my first actual rodeo so in the future when I say "not my first rodeo" you will not know whether I'm being figurative or literal. Live with the mystery.

I'd like to thank Michael Phelps for giving me one of his gold medals thereby making me an Olympic champion at a sport I've never competed in.

So when do we think ICE agents will begin surfacing in Argentina?

Don't shut up. Sing.

Put a new set of sheets on the bed so when I don't return your text/email/call know it's on account of being too comfy to move.

In the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer......there is some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for. - Tolkien

Lemme get this straight:

- A maniac in a red suit driving way too fast

and they let Grandma go home alone?

Went to the bagel shop, ordered 6, they gave me 13. It's a Festivus miracle!! Now we eat the meats and the Festivus Knish (yes, I'm making it a thing). I hope Costanza is proud. #fortherestofus

Stores should have designated no last minute holiday shopping hours so I can run my normal errands in peace.

Younger bro "What does that mean?"

Older, now slightly annoyed, bro "That's what you say when you don't want to answer a question."

Younger, now slightly indignant, bro "Why didn't you just say THAT!!!"

Two kids with their grandparents at the store.

Littler kid, still small enough to ride in the cart, but not in the cup holder/backward riding part, to his older brother "Did you get anything yet?"

Brother, only slightly not as little, says back "I'm not at liberty to discuss it."

Huh. So this is what it's going to feel like being the #1 ranked team when the new polls are released.

One of my proudest accomplishments in 2025. #Spotify #SpotifyWrapped
