I started Westenberg because I think the biggest questions - how to live, how to work, how to focus - deserve straight answers.

If you agree, I'd love to meet you.

Mike Johnson: "They berated a Capitol police officer, screamed at him. He was merely standing his post. It shows, again, their disdain for law enforcement, the Democrats, screaming, assaulting officers."

Spent the last few days fixing up the office.

New ceiling fan.
New paint.
Light strips behind the top of the desk (the room is never done until the light strips are in).

Start my new job tomorrow morning!

Office "Before".

Drab. Tan walls. Old ugly ceiling fan.

Office "after".

New paint ("Smoked Tan", and "Autumn Amber on an opposite wall as an accent). New/modern ceiling fan. Light strips behind the top of the desks.

That, and recipes.

Hey, here's a recipe for my favorite way to prepare boiled water. But first, 297 pages of my backstory about my dad.

I think it's amazing. And I'm a proof whore. But even at "just" 100º, there will always be a bottle of this on my shelf.

Love French Oak finishes.

I don't normally prefer "budget" bourbons, but Blue Note Crossroads is a 100º bourbon (sourced by Green River) finished in French Oak.

Generally runs in the $40USD range.

Crossroads - Blue Note Bourbon

Blue Note Crossroads Finished with two types of toasted French oak staves, Crossroads sips like a lower proof bourbon but sits at a respectable 100 proof. Try it for yourself […]

Two people in a three-panel comic.

Panel 1: Person 1: "Look up in the sky! It's a bird!" Person 2: It's a plane!"
Panel 2: Person 1: "Oh no" (both look concerned)
Panel 3: Blood and feathers fall on both people.

In related news, Donald Trump says that the photographer called him up and told him that he was accepting the award in his honor, as he should have won.

Seems legit.
