I'm pretty certain my body will continue eating and drinking for at least 3 years after my death just through muscle memory.

I just realized it's pub day for @stefanfatsis.bsky.social and "Unabridged"! I loved this book. It's FILLED with fascinating stories about defining, Merriam-Webster, and dictionaries in general.

I'm sorry that it's already time to think about this, but it would make a wonderful holiday gift. 🎁

Happy pub day to me!

What’s that cooking show where they give you 5 condiments, half a cabbage & something iced over from the freezer, and say go?

Wait, never mind. I found an avocado. I’m good now. Bon appetit.

Him: Did you eat dinner?

Me: I had that leftover bread with olive oil

Him: Bread is not dinner

Me: I also had a dozen chocolate covered mini donuts, surely that counts as dinner?

We drama kids were 15 and 16, playing scenes and dancing in the stage door courtyard after school. Randy as Frank, Peggy or Jennifer as Janet, Mike as Brad, Steve as Riff Raff, Art Lopez as Meatloaf, Tina as Columbia, and I played Magenta or Janet. We had no Creature/Rocky— ha!
