Super. Truly fantastic.

"Planes, trains or starships"?

Tense meal at Waffle House. Cook and server may have been fighting before we got there. Too quiet. Chicken melt and hash browns 10/10.

A laundry hamper should be a simple purchase, but I'm sitting here converting liters to bushels to make a wise choice. Don't let anyone tell you I'm not a conscious consumer.

Another day, another frog strangler.

TashTea and a nap. We should have Sunday more often.

Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.

“We can’t keep ignoring states like Tennessee."

The chair of the DNC, who was the latest prominent Democratic leader to visit Nashville in recent weeks, spoke with the Banner on Saturday. He sees long and short term opportunities for the party in the state and the South at large.

That's nauseating.

Franklin DMV sounds like a special kind of hell.

Sorry to say it’s in Murfreesboro.

Real ID acquired. Made an appointment in April, but didn’t need it. In and out in 15 minutes despite two(!) people ahead of me who didn’t realize they already had unexpired Real ID.

Nothing can stop me from flying now; feel free to invite me to your beach or mountain house!

I do just want everyone to take a moment with this headline, even if you don’t want to click through and read the whole (very good) thing.

Every song on the playlist at the orthodontist’s office sounds like Imagine Even Worse Dragons. I’m not the one with braces, but I’m still somewhere between discomfort and pain.
