I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Our nephew made supposed Michelin star recipe mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving. A pound of butter to 2.2 pounds of potatoes. 😳 It was, uh, a lot.

Imagine a world where all the Bond villains worked together.

My knee jerk reaction… An overly complicated, yet vaguely defined, proposal that will cause confusion without solving the actual problem. Rewards players who already have commercial income while keeping the other 90% in relative poverty. Well done.

If you are getting married soon and on the fence about changing your name, my vote is for keeping your maiden name! Not because of the risk of divorce (though there’s that too), but because it’s a PITA with no tangible benefit. Change it socially but not legally, if you want.

Just watched The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Terrible, awful, and the absolute opposite of fantastic. Such a disappointment.

I expect I’m in the minority but I’m anti-playoff for leagues with a balanced schedule. Playing every team twice over months is the true test, not 3 elimination games in a post season tournament. KC was the best team by far but won’t be “champion”. The tournament is what should be the consolation.
