It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without a steam locomotive (you can't question you just have to go with it).

I was prepared to grouse about this as I like RCV in concept, but his alternative actually makes good sense.
I wrote about how the DNC should fix the 2028 primaries (it isn't through ranked choice voting) heartlandsignal.com/2025/11/26/o...
OPINION: How to fix the 2028 Democratic primary (ranked-choice voting is not the answer)
Aaron Kleinman writes, "Adopting RCV would face too many hurdles and doesn’t seem to solve any of the issues with the primary process. But another option could do the job much better."

Man I'm going back through their catalog and there are so many great songs. Haven't listened to some of these in years. I'm taking my 17yo so introducing her to all this GenX pop rock goodness
Holy shit Toto is playing at our amphitheatre here in Feb. They were my favorite band in junior high before I fell in love with Rush. Now I'll see them both in 2026! Never would have imagined.

In the hedges on the US Capitol lawn. We went to DC on vacation in junior high and I had what was probably a migraine that day. Museums were cool though!
what's the most exotic place you've ever puked? mine's not exactly exotic but i did once have a hangover at the nyc facebook office and barfed in their very nice bathroom
Got food poisoning from Fogo De Chao. Puked out the side of a moving cab along beautiful Copacabana Beach. The most exotic place I'll probably ever puke!

Thinking a lot lately about the simple fact that college allows people to spend about 15 weeks immersed in a disciplinary conversation with an expert in that field. And what a special thing that is.

So I loved hating on the Gators in the Spurrier/Urban eras, but UF Shands hospital is world class and my care team has been incredible over the past year and a half. As a result I now cheer for them against UT at least. 🙂

And for fun, my #50 most listened-to artist in the past 90 days is Hall & Oates.
Thanks to car trips with my daughter, Taylor Swift has overtaken Rush in my Top Artists played over the last 90 days. Don't have strong feelings about this just stating facts.
