My wife has taken to calling it “The Epstein Room of Balls”, which is…so much worse.

Unlucky we have to travel to the east coast again.

This is the good stuff. Rooting for this guy to make me proud of my home state again.

I ask myself a version of this question all the time: if Putin were able to install a puppet as president, what would they be doing differently? Even with Trump’s recent no-consequence insults of Putin that may make him look more independent, I don’t see any daylight.

A grad school friend was Sigourney Weaver’s nephew. When he got married, “Aunt Sig” and I danced near each other at the reception.

We just did almost the same upgrade, but replaced our Prius with the Honda Prologue instead of the Ioniq 5, to sit alongside our Bolt. Was a close decision though! Enjoying the heady fumes of sanctimony as well.

Jimmy Carter gave the commencement speech at Rice University my freshman year there. I remember he was introduced as, “The only person who has used the presidency of the United States as a stepping stone to greater things.” That’s my enduring memory of the man. He exemplified how one uses a life.

The current temperature from my Windows taskbar, showing 30209 degrees Fahrenheit.

The MSN weather webpage, showing a high of 35800 degrees today, 48449 degrees on Thursday, 62 on Friday, 59 on Saturday, and 62 on Sunday.

Hmm. Global warming seems to be happening faster than I expected. But at least it will be nice by the weekend.
