So, I have this freeloading roommate who decided he needed a snack while I was at work. This *was* a new loaf of bread that I’d kept in a closed cupboard presumably away from him. Zero regrets. Asshole. Now I gotta baby proof my kitchen.

Postscript. Got home & had to give my asshole roommate a treat. I think it calmed both of us down.

Name a perfect album that came out when you were 16. Well, I can name 3 that are tied for first place.
“Green,” REM
“Talk Is Cheap,” Keith Richards

Appropriate song for cooking dinner on a rainy autumn day.

Finally feeling human. Yesterday was a daze after not getting home from work until 0600 (we had a late private function). The good news is, @drjchernov.bsky.social, our daughters, & I made the pilgrimage to the Altar of Birria in Jackson Heights to pick up dinner.

No, I’m not in the Matrix. This is a representation of our dinner rush tonight. Each blue square is one table, with the number of guests in black. Gonna need some roller skates.

Proof of life photo after coming home from a 13 hour day. And no, thank the gods, the little asshole didn’t knock over my pint.

This is the face of a cat who desperately wants to get back at Miss Kim, but even his limited intellect knows there are dire consequences for swatting at, scratching, and/or biting our girl.

Halloween weekend going home on the LIRR when you work on Saturday is truly the 2nd or 3rd rung of Dante’s hell. I must be old when my only reaction to young women’s skimpy costumes is, “Aren’t you cold? FFS put on a coat!” At least I have train beer.

Kid in Penn Station dressed like the USC mascot: This! Is! Sparta!
Me, waiting for my train & enjoying my first sip of train beer: you’re celebrating a Hollywood depiction of a society almost wholly based on slavery & pederasty, but you do you.

I found that seeing a young soldier in an ate up uniform can awaken the long dormant Sergeant Kim. Kid in Penn Station in AGSU was a drunk embarrassment, so he earned a spot correction from me.
-You don’t even know me, man
-No, but I know what that uniform needs to look like
I earned this train beer

The first thing I thought of when I received an email (which, incidentally, found me well) saying managers needed to complete their cyber awareness training in 2 weeks.

Welp, this subject has reached Miss Kim’s 8th grade debate competition. This will make things sporty.

New favorite hat just dropped, though 2 days too late for No Kings. Reckon I should be satisfied with the puzzled looks of my Trump supporting neighbors instead.

It’s getting colder, which means @drjchernov.bsky.social brought the last good tomatoes from the Baltimore farmer’s market so I could make soup for the kids. Recipe to follow, maybe even a (gasp! 😲) a #CookingForLieutenants thread.

But also, we’re talking about an overgrown kitten with just 3 brain cells who digs through the kitchen sink drain for food.

“Coming To America” was prophetic, but instead of McDowell’s, we’ve got this fried chicken place in Flushing. I always have a chuckle when I pass by.

How it started: peanut butter chocolate chip cookies
How it ended: Turkey meatballs with marinara from scratch & penne. (Not pictured: Junior, who has a physics assignment & a father incapable of helping him)

On an *average* night, I probably add 1/2 a mile to my walk from work the Penn Station, owing to veering around people who inexplicably walk too damn slow. The good news is, I made it to my train with 1 minute to spare, even after getting a to-go beer at Rose’s Pizza. Sláinte!

Took Miss Student Council President-elect Kim to our favorite diner to celebrate not just her victory, but her whole ticket (her BFFs are VP & Secretary). We discussed substantive issues like Halloween decorations, the 8th grade dance, & most importantly, how they crushed the all-boy dudebro ticket.
