I’m blessed with an amazing wife, dual incomes, & no kids, so I was looking at #Broncos to haul my mid-life crisis dog.
After watching @jimfarley.bsky.social’s silence while the gutter racist President insulted Americans, Ford is off the table.
Looks like Honda for me.

My wife very kindly bought fun-sized candy bars. I ate most, then claimed to be a “full sized bar house, now and forever.”
I bought full bars and 24 beers for parents.

I’m taking the plunge - going to redecorate my office like a video store.
I’m hoping it has the added benefit of throwing people off when it looks like I’m working in 1992.
Right now, what I’ve got looks more like the creepy porn closets those stores had.

Visited Wuhan in May 2013. Having parents encourage their small children to rub my belly while pantomiming how big it is was in no way a giant blow to my ego.
