If you have maple syrup, maple butter is delicious.

Ooh!

But seriously, The City We Became is a great book.

Was created specifically for @bandherbooks.bsky.social and the folks in Romancelandia (like me) who love a good sickbed care scene?

I had nearly forgotten what this sense of hope feels like. Thank you NYC, VA, PA, and everywhere else that did the thing. Let's keep it going.

This is how I've always done it. Pillsbury Southern style, Pioneer Country Style Sausage Gravy, Jimmy Dean sausage patties. Not as good as my grandma used to make, but it does the trick.

The summer of 1999, at the age of 20, I used one of these to drive from San Antonio, TX to Lake Como, PA and back.

JAZZ PAWS!!!

I'm sorry people are assholes.

OMG. I did that too!

Me too!

Me in today's Genetics lecture:
"To explain the pattern of codon degeneracy, Crick proposed that the first two positions pair strictly by the AU/GC rule but the third position can 🎵Wobble Baby Wobble Baby Wobble🎵"

If you don't think I danced while lecturing, you don't know me.

That looks delicious!

Buns & Roses Tea for Literacy (supporting Richardson Adult Literacy Center) always makes me feel happy. Jen DeLuca was an awesome table host!

You did the thing!

Same!

The Obama Hope poster, but it's a frog and it says "Hop"

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

I have near-perfect conversational memory. If we talked about something, I WILL remember what was said*. This also extends to things that feel conversational. My brain will (can?) not delete certain podcast episodes I've listened to.

*Alcohol is the kryptonite to this power.

Episodes that me* (and DH^) most recommend:
--A Trial to Watch*^
--The Lodge*^
--Ninety Degrees*
--Summer Once Again^
--The Most Lamentable*^

Watch order (mostly) doesn't matter, but there are some arcs within the cast stories.

Goes Wrong Show - YouTube

With the caveat that I understand this type of humor doesn't work for everyone (and there's no need to tell me if that's the case for you), episodes of The Goes Wrong Show are now available on YouTube and I think you should try it. I love the humor. The stage design in some of them is AMAZING.

Truth. I was scrolling back through my Google Calendar to find mine.

Introduce yourself with the last five concerts you saw:

Sutton Foster & Kelli O'Hara
Aida Cuevas
Weird Al Yankovic
Leslie Odom Jr.
Pentatonix

Picked up a Lindt Dubai Chocolate bar on the last grocery run. Had 2 squares from it tonight. It's kinda like a fancy Nestle Crunch or Krackle? Enjoyed it, but I don't think I was worth the splurge ($14.99 for the big bar).
