The best part of my flight home today was the family across the aisle from me.
The little boy had two husky stuffies that he was making yap at each other, but the sounds he made sounded more like singing.

Have been listening to a lot of early Kelly Clarkson today. This song makes me want to make the Trader Joe's pizza in my freezer, take off my pants, and put on Love Actually the moment I get back to my apartment. open.spotify.com/track/09heXV...

Have chosen Casablanca as my plane movie.
Still so grateful that I got to see it for the first time at UCLA's Billy Wilder theater.

Bodies — and what we’re supposed to think about their dimensions — have always been a source of fascination. The bodies we probably most obsess about — other than our own — are those we see on screen and there’s a tension of look but don’t-look-too-closely that the celebrity ecosystem asks of us
The state of Hollywood bodies
Celebrities are human beings. But they are also selling us something. Right now, that's thinness.

It's likely this decision had little to do with the visit. No way was FIFA going to let one of its golden geese be prohibited from playing a single second of this World Cup.
But the timing is certainly...something.

A few days after Cristiano Ronaldo was at the White House, FIFA says it has suspended the remaining two games of Cristiano Ronaldo's three-game ban for violent conduct, meaning he can play in Portugal's first two World Cup games.
Coincidence or not, it's certainly timing.

A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

A good thing about having many friends is that you can share when you're in a bad place and get well supported.
