It’s been a tough year but I’m thankful that this little weirdo decided I’m okay and lives with me.

My dad and I both played Caesar III and still will randomly say β€œplebs are needed” when doing laborious tasks

I was on Zoom talking about pastoral theology and Montag was napping. Really I think we should switch places at least once, I bet he could offer pastoral care and I know I can nap

I got my cat Leo’s last shipment of kidney food the day after he died. Shittiest package I’ve ever received. Eventually I was able to donate it to the shelter he came from but it took me months to let go.

I’m so sorry. Losing my cat that got me through the pandemic was really hard. They are so special.

My rector let me be weird and preach on Revelation 12 and I’m so glad he did. Several people thanked me for showing them something hopeful instead of something scary in the text. Mission accomplished βš“οΈ

Thank you for letting me know that the TCBY jingle from the 90s is still taking up space in my brain

Three persons in inflatable frog costumes. One of them is holding a nicely painted sign with two little cartoon frogs holding hands, below the text "FROGS TOGETHER STRONG"

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Those are both staples of my childhood and I will tolerate no cheap pizza slander!! (I know they are both mediocre at best but they taste like home)
