Tye BOOger 👻

Fortunately, I'd no more than said 9 am than I thought "actually, 11 am would be better, probably." So in this case, not listening to me worked out.

[Calling a doctor's office to reschedule a doctor's appointment in January]

Office worker: do you want 9 am or 11 am?

Me: 9 am, please

Them: alright, got you down at 11 am.

My timesheet for this morning:

General (non-billable): Draft, revise and finalize parody of God Bless the USA by L. Greenwood (1.2)

Cam Skattebo is gonna be a lot of fun to watch for, like, two years.

Ellen why did you cut off your leg?!?!

Yikes

How on earth did the side judge not see that Skattebo scored in real time?!

Ugh, the end of that Dodgers/Phillies series makes me sick

This has been a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week.

Would love to see Mike Flood, who represents the Omaha suburbs, Lincoln, and a small-ish slice of exurban and rural Nebraska (because gerrymandering) go out to Ainsworth or Chadron or Valentine and tell them why they're losing their hospital.

I was on the Zoom and it said the provider was there, so he marked me as a no-show WHILE I WAS LITERALLY ON THE CALL.

Got marked a no-show for a telehealth appointment because I was two minutes late and I am about to (metaphorically) burn shit down.

I forgot to post the finished product! It was pretty great.

Ha, mine are cloud mountains

Thank you!

Me thinking about it:

Might have a drink and get all up in my feels now that I'm somehow old enough to have a teenager. A goddamn teenager, y'all.

Sorry, I haven't written anything fun in a while.

The nearly full, waning moon stands watch in the eastern sky, brightly casting shadows even in the dark. It backlights a mountain range below, all jagged edges and clear lines. In the west, island nations float, indistinct and dull, awaiting the moon's sharpening glare.

The sky tonight looks like something out of a cartoon.

In their own weird category are Norfolk and Keya Paha (county) in Nebraska. Even the locals disagree on the correct pronunciation.

Basehor for Kansas. Probably Versailles or Nevada in Missouri (depends on how you define "pronounced exactly as it looks"). Beatrice or Kearney in Nebraska.

If I could wave a magic wand and change one thing about Kansas City, I would give us nonstop air service like Chicago or Minneapolis has. Doesn't seem like too much to ask.

Just told the boys to wrap up their Madden 26 (birthday present today) game because it's bedtime and ... they cooperatively said OK?! Are these even my children?!?!

I don't even hate Mayfield. He's done better than I thought he would. But that one still makes me laugh.

My favorite was when he threw a pick against K-State and didn't even attempt to stop the return. Such a dog.

I was gonna say, isn't that common knowledge?

Now that the Blue Jays don't have Jose Bautista and DO have Vlad Guerrero, Jr., I don't mind cheering for them. Especially against the Yankees.

Unique?
