I think this is mostly a product of pandemic/double strikes in the last 5 years and will probably level out, but there are the Stranger Things of the world and I’ve noticed a few time jumps across shows.

It’s now LMSDRIVE, don’t worry.

Today I was renaming an external flash drive, and I meant to name it LMS ext, but the filename didn’t like the space, and that’s how I ended up naming it LMSEXT.

I just glossed over the etc. But fair.

Nevermind! Good work.

I would never tell you to watch anything but All the Presidents Men is something. I think you might like it. Someday. When you get there.

"If You Could Go Back" by Danny Bryck - The Activism Joy Studio I know, I know If you could go back you would walk with Jesus You would march with King Maybe assassinate Hitler At least hide Jews in your basement It would all be clear to you But people then, just ...

I very much dislike how my life comes to resemble this poem even more as the days go by.

Oh my heart, Robert Redford.

It’s sadly familiar to us in Texas too.

I cannot, for the life of me, keep an air plant alive.

Is there a better tv theme song than WKRP? Maybe…maybe. But it’s up there.

What do you do with the mad that you feel?

Words that do not imitate the sound associated with the thing named are called notamotopoeias

Are other parents preparing to send a kid to college in the fall find themselves intensely nesting? I am seriously nesting: dorm edition.

btw did you know you can subscribe to PBS for only like $5/mo or a $60 one-time for a year donation, and get access to their Passport streaming service? They mail you a little live programming guide and everything, too. The 40-something seasons of NOVA alone are worth it.

Oh! I’ve got this one!

Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O’Neal at the Luby’s in Spring, TX.

Or the time Lee Pace and I got lost on a golf course in the Woodlands pre-celebrity, but I bet that more random for him. I talked about emus.

There was an article in the Cut about people spending $$$$$ to keep up in the Hamptons and everyone going crazy for Nassella.

It’s Mexican Feather Grass. One could get 1000 seeds for 5 bucks.

Actually…hold that thought.

This is my green anole friend. He lives on the outdoor garbage can where he eats all the flies he can catch, but also chills amiably on the nearby rose bush when I need to take out the trash.

I’m ready for the good, kind, and decent people to start winning.

Social media is weird.

This jerk eating my sunflowers this morning.

I don't know, maybe I will try to post here more. What would you like to hear about from me?

Love and Mercy is a great song.

The sunflowers are in bloom.

I keep thinking about how life keeps happening while great historic tragedies unfold and it must have always been this way.

Possum photo?

Okay, but they are. I can't help that I feel things more deeply than you. My parents died in a Brian Wilson song.

Poster for Alien vs Predator with the tagline Whoever wins…we lose.

Today for some reason I am remembering that two decades ago, in 2004, Madison Square Garden, the site of the RNC, had a huge Alien vs Predator advertisement on it.

Whoever wins, we lose.
