Prior to Thanksgiving, I'd like to mention a little something about Hanksgiving.
Thanks to Tom Hanks and Hanks For Our Troops for the Challenge Coin. Looking forward to brewing up some coffee and furthering the mission.

Monday morning coffee break with one of my cherished hobbies. I'm a collector of the works of Madison Cawein. Signed by the poet himself, this is one of 350 copies from 1894. Intimations of the Beautiful.

Great weekend in Chicago. As a @depauluniversity.bsky.social alum, it's always nice stopping back in town. Watched Northwestern/Michigan in Wrigley; insane dinner at Sushi by Scratch; watched Da Bears win on Sunday from Backyard BBQ in Wilmette. Even got my Chicago Dog & Maxwell Street Polish fixes.

Wishing a pleasant Veterans Day to all my fellow grunts, squids, crayon eaters, armchair jockeys, & coasties.
I count trump force imposter trekkies in with the armchair jockeys.
There are many ways to serve the public trust; thanks to all of you for finding one.

Thursday morning thoughts: How different would things have been if Steven Fromholz stayed on with Stephen Stills after that 1971 tour and joined Manassas instead of going his own way?
Oh well, what if...

Just went to the Adam Sandler concert in Lexington. After Kevin James randomly showed up, Sandler pulled out a bass guitar, started playing Ice Ice Baby, and Vanilla Ice came out with a Ninja Turtle. Michelangelo. Great night at Rupp.

As I loaded the dishwasher this morning, my 7 year old son asked, "Dad, does coffee really make everything possible?"
Feeling he was now possibly the wisest of my 3 children, I turned to say yes, then realized he was reading the side of my Thorntons coffee cup from when I grabbed donuts earlier.
