Getting old guy, big dog in a meeting room, cordless tool enthusiast, Leafs fan, and surprisingly well-adjusted and progressive thinker for a guy once accused of using a "questionable approach and unfortunate language".

The guesses from the doctors still range from chronic inflammed bowels to lymphoma.

He's at the right age to be experiencing these ailments.

But he's the bestest boy, and I hope he sticks around a while yet.

My boy is still not feeling 100%, but he's glad I'm back from my travels.

We're hanging out at the cottage this weekend and have a fire burning in the woodstove.

Honestly don't know what the prognosis is, but want to spend some quality time with him. Have one more short trip, then a break.

The internet is deeply flawed.

(And Newsweek used to be a reasonably credible publication.)
Screenshot of a link to a Newsweek article that says the Toronto Blue Joys are cutting ties with shortstop Bo Bichette, including not adding him to their World Series' roster, immediately followed by a story confirming that he's been added to the roster.

(The aptitude test was a result of me wrecking my back and requiring retraining. One of the recommended careers was law school, but the funds available eliminated any university path, so I did an HR Management diploma and breezed through it.)

In my 20s, with 3 kids, and a HS education, I worked in retail building supplies. We were "poor".

A coworker, taking a break from law school for mental health reasons, called me, "the smartest guy in the lumber yard". An aptitude test later confirmed I functioned at the level of a university grad.

I picked up two bottles of whisky to take home, and then a friend here gave me two mason jars of preserves (beets and mustard relish).

They're all carefully packed, but there's always a risk. So, here's hoping my suitcase doesn't get dropped tomorrow.

Breaking news from the cat sitter (aka my separated wife):

The cat finally pooped, after three days of nothing. He seems to be feeling a little better, after some rough days of GI issues.

In unrelated news, I also pooped today. No film at 11:00.

Sturgill Simpson's SNL episode (Call to Arms, Keep it Between the Lines) does not get enough credit as one of the greatest musical performances ever on TV.

Bacon on a burger should feel an exception.

"Hey, this nicely smoked bacon might be nice on a burger, but I'm not planning on making it a regular thing."

That's how I am with BBQ sauce. Would rather season the patty, but sometimes I'm feeling daffy for something different.

This is why they keep the second hand swords behind the counter.

It's located in the newly named Ghislaine Maxwell Wing.

(Or, the Ghislaine Maxwell Memorial Wing, if she doesn't play ball.)

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Look, I get it. The second hand shop people were completely unreasonable with my request.

I think they're not willing or able to get rid of him, so they continue to try and polish that turd.

Anyone remember Day Job Orchestra? Did I hallucinate it?

If we know anything about Nazis, it's that they're famously shy about sharing fashion tips with other Nazis.

Well, except brown shirts, black suits, jackboots, miscellaneous Aryan imagery, hairstyles, little mustaches, body art...oh, wait.

Okay, I'm all in for the Blue Jays.
1) AL East representing. Toughest division in MLB
2) Fuck the bigger payroll always.
3) Canada deserves something nice after all the bloviating and assholery they've endured from us these nine months.

Yeah, Cali v. Trump. But Newsom can troll with other stuff.

I told her some choices I've settled on for an upcoming difficult meeting. What will work, what won't.

Her advice: "Once you make the choice, tell yourself 'Ok, you've got this.' This will signal your brain to stop replaying it. It will give you an earned rest break."

Gonna try this.

A nice piece of advice from her.

I said that, like the Fielder Method, tend to rehearse conversations in my head. I'm working out the most effective approach, separating facts from feelings. It helps me make choices before I'm in the heat of it.

I do it both for work and personal issues.

Therapist: "I KNEW IT WAS THE KOREAN PILOT ONE!!!"

We were both laughing.

Anyway, it was a good discussion. I always find a different way to approach these sessions, as I continue my meandering path through my mind.

And she made sure to get the info on The Rehearsal written down before I left.
