Oh, there’s an off-leash dog out there. I should make sure he’s okay…

Oop, that’s a coyote.

Yeah, I mean, that’s fair. It’s never going to be on just one guy, and he has some clear obstacles to point to, but also that’s just not what you want out of someone who’s supposed to be your stud.

I don’t know how many excuses we can give him, but his line really is atrocious. Bottom of the league in both run and pass protection. I think I saw he was pressured on 30/31 of his dropbacks. So… 🤷‍♂️

This is silly, but at nearly 37 years old (yeesh) I now depart for basically my first ever solo trip in which I planned and booked everything myself. Good luck, me!

A giant promo display for Avatar Fire and Ash. It is on fire and the symbol in the middle looks like a red bird, similar to the Pokemon Go one.

Wife and I posing back to back—I’m doing the James Bond pose with my hands and closing one eye to raise the other eyebrow. She just looks normal (that is, stunning).

Went to wife’s work’s holiday party last night and ended up looking best in the photo where I made a goofy face… makes you wonder what that means about my regular face.

“They just want your data.”

Okay, they can have the crucial insights that I like fries, Diet Coke, and saving $3.

Not an ad, but re-emphasizing that you gotta order from the McDonald’s app if you want fast food value.

Wife just wanted fries. Fries alone cost $4.50 (yikes). App deal gives free fries of any size with purchase of any drink. Drink costs $1.50 (alrighty then).

Wicked Part 2 isn’t as good as Wicked Part 1 was, however good you thought Part 1 was (it does have all the interesting plot points, though, if you haven’t seen/read it before).

My dog refuses to go out to potty in the rain, but doesn’t understand that the walkies he is demanding also happen in that same rain.

Just saw a stocking stuffer suggestion of some screaming goat trinket thing. Talk about being 10 years late to the party.

I thought people were exaggerating, but I was just walking into a store and two little kids were soliciting strangers out front like, “excuse me, sir, can you say ‘6-7’?”

Was busy, so I forgot until I just saw again: my neighbors switched their Halloween decorations for Christmas ones over the weekend, so they literally did the “Oct 31/Nov 1” meme.
