Dear Capital One Arena, game time today is noon and I am deciding on what fast food restaurant to take my son to beforehand because your food offerings are terrible and absurdly priced. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

Yeah I'd like to know what type of work a qualified dentist will do for $47...I don't think that would get them out of bed!

A leather-bound recipe book imprinted with the Wendell Berry quote "Eating is an agricultural act."

It's Thanksgiving meal planning day, that annual tradition wherein I look up new cranberry sauce recipes, denying the unquestionable reality that everybody just wants the stuff from the can.

Mad props to the friendly and competent nurse? at Kaiser Marlow Heights location that got 3 of us in and out with covid and flu shots in just 7 minutes. Almost makes me forget that I'm paying $12K this year for the privilege of not having any coverage until I pay our full annual deductibles. Almost.

Hyundai deals so good they won't even tell us the price, we have to play whisper down the lane.

Rivalry? Just a warmup for the Hoyas

A cute dog waiting patiently for permission to grab a snack.

Waiting, waiting, waiting...

Me, eating candy: Ugh not as good as when I was a kid, making me feel bleh.
Me, seconds later: Maybe I'll try another one...

Just learned that when Delta Dental says they pay 100%, what they mean is 100% of the maximum they are willing to pay. Interesting twist!

Don't talk to me until I've had my coffee tomorrow (already had today's, still not ready).

Did someone borrow my copy of Sex, Economy, Freedom & Community???

Dear chat is it normal to see 16% premium increase every year and think oh sweet, that's it?!

Anyways, if we are going to have a king, it should be #4 Caleb Williams

You might be too controlling of a parent if you're nervous about leaving your teens with your spouse (their mother) for an evening, and constantly feel the need to check in.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

(Went to the Maryland Renaissance Festival last weekend, just to prove my point)

Going straight from DC #NoKings to Georgetown vs. GW exhibition basketball game, because I'm a Renaissance man.

Spotted the National Guard lingering around #NoKings in DC today, eating a sub. No report on whether the sub was acquired via assault with a deli weapon or brought from home.

Disagree. 1st and 15th makes for more straightforward monthly budgeting.

I like it. Personally I'm pulling for the cast to plan a surprise skit that oversteps whatever boundaries the higher ups have in place.

@dieworkwear.bsky.social need your perspective here as well.

I told the Reverend he made me proud to be a Christian.

Monday is grocery day which means clearance rack pastries for dessert, BOOYAH!

*not Pax Romana

Shoes of peace please

*heard. Some of us in the diaspora are unwilling to pay for Sunday Ticket so we settle for Mike and Merrill on the radio.

I'm interested in the intersection of faith and politics and Julien Baker and financial markets and Wendell Berry and Georgetown basketball and parenting and Anabaptism and Philly sports. Why is no one posting about this?

Of all my coffee making options, V60 > Chemex > Moccamaster > espresso machine > moka pot > vacuum pot > French press.

Went with French press this morning because I'm middle-aged and this is how I keep things exciting.

“Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people who had paid their premium on time.”

Wait did you make that pie with only one apple?

Hoyas win! The only important news tonight.
