Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate! It's November 27, 2025 and things are in a weird place. It's been a busy year for me, professionally. Workflow is good; the pipeline is strong. And all I want to do is spend some quiet time in the workshop and forget about the chaos out there. It's important to take some time for ourselves, if we can.

I bought a very cheap Stanley No. 6 #woodworking hand plane off eBay that's in remarkable shape. It's definitely post-war but before they got super chintzy. I'm not a fan of the kidney shaped lever cap, but for something that will just live in a bushcraft toolbox, you can't beat the price.

I will probably never forgive WotC for the Spiderman set, but what I've seen so far, the new Avatar: the Last Airbender set is pretty good. I have a jumpstart deck of Siege Engines/Swordmaster (WB), and it's crushing. We'll see how I feel about it after diving into some Standard.

Andromeda multiplayer was every bit as good as ME3 multiplayer. #N7 #N7Day #MassEffect

I just want to tell you how I'm feeling. Gotta make you understand. #nevergonnagiveyouup

My #woodworking dust extractor vacuum unit crapped out after 13 years. It just randomly turned on (during a conference call), wheezed a long, high pitched sound, and slowly ran down until it was unresponsive. I'm sad, but not distraught. They don't make the filters anymore. It was time. #RIP #HEPA

"God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys is the greatest song ever written. I will fight you.

If I ever won election, I would swear my oath of office on a copy of The Silmarillion.

When you're feeling down, just input "Play Album I Get Wet" to whatever your music streaming service may be. Andrew W.K. is both a hero and a humanitarian. #partyhard #igetwet

If the Mets don't make the playoffs, I expect both David Stearns and Carlos Mendoza to be fired immediately. I'm so glad I only gave them my money for one game back in May. The team is not putting a good or enjoyable product out there with any consistency.

It's not a tool chest until it has my alma mater emblazoned. #woodworking #fancyladacademy

Right now, we are exactly as far away from January 6th insurrection as the city of New York in Ghostbusters 2 was from Ghostbusters 1. I guess human nature closed that plot hole in Ghostbusters 2.

Something a tad muted for the new traveling tool chest paint. Called Cavalry Brown; it's home center stuff with just a slight touch of green. More on the actual chest and kit on the blog later this week. #woodworking #essentialtoolkit #paintedfurniture

At this point, I'd be interested in patronizing any Company that would affirmatively promise "We don't use AI and will never push it on you".

I feel nothing, and never have. And so shall you. #mtga #castiel #supernatural

I wish it was easier to turn legal CLE PowerPoint presentations into a prose book. But I also decided my next book will be titled "So You'd Like to be Estranged from your Family". Because despite being an M&A attorney for 17 years, what I'm really great at is being that black sheep son. #M&A

I am now running 4x Disenchant in my silly Angel Midrange #mtga deck, because it's 1994 again.

My RDW standard deck was decimated by the recent bans, so I'm pivoting to silly ass angel weenie. I think it's technically midrange, but still. #mtga #magicthegathering
