A mile swim means Raising Cane's for lunch!

I just posted about it being one of those days when I hit genius level on Spelling Bee and walk around looking down on the little people.

Then I noticed a misspelled word and had to delete it.

"I had a dream about you last night" somehow always comes out sounding a bit creepy.

I love you, @wnxpnashville.bsky.social

If there is cilantro in the fridge, it is going into almost anything I happen to be cooking.

Hope it was useful!

The CVS automated phone menu is designed to make you need blood pressure meds. What an absolute nightmare.

Nashville Storytelling. Submit a story. DM with questions!

@caseyboyle.fail I miss you, Casey Boyle

There is no place in the world with more rules written on the walls as an unattended laundromat.

I spent my entire avoiding Neti pots because the whole thing seemed so disgusting. At 62, I finally used one yesterday while being very congested. Wow, those things are a damned miracle.

Someone should have told me.

Yeah, it is the only part of the writing that could have been improved. They should have had him disciver Dum Dummies from another source. Someone at work could have discovered him on there on their own.

Damn. The Budapest spas are not overhyped. I feel great after a 3 hour visit.

VU aluminum Dan Wolken (2001) talks to students about changes in sports writing.

Surely we can agree that death by sinkhole is one of the most ludicrous ways of dying.

TenX9 storytelling at @Jackalope Brewery! Now!

Creating and confirming new passwords is the collective angst of this era.

Completely wild. Even the announcers were 100 percent sure it would be called.

The folks behind the Asheville Marathon really rocked it. Great job of pulling a lovely event out of some areas still damaged by Helene.

Getting "mindful directions from Chaka Khan" on Waze was something I didn't see coming.

Salt water taffy: one of life's often forgotten treats.

Confession: I like being reminded that I am dust.

Praise to the Nashville Striders for putting another great Tom King Half Marathon this morning!

Reminder: you cannot eat Cheetos and evaluate hard copies of students. Not, at least, without making a mess.

John Adams once critiqued one of his rivals by calling him a "pettifogging dabbler," and I am left wondering why my slams sound so lame.

Oh, for joy. I just got a notification that the good people on NextDoor are evaluating the SuperBowl halftime show.

Another chance to destroy my belief in enlightened neighbors.

If you are the type of person who sees this in the middle of a conference room and has to constrain yourself from taking it and beginning to talk (to a real or imagined crowd), we are alike.

@jennyrice.bsky.social is the most wonderful person in the universe, AND she has a birthday today. I cannot be with her, so this is my public note of adoration. Happy birthday!!!
