"CeaseFire" as the name of a show is so provocative! But not in a spicy chili pepper way. It's more like the underappreciated bleu cheese with a hot wing -- that facilitates eating more hot wings. #media #politics

I appreciate the sentiment, but it always strikes me as a blatant lie. Maybe a robot could say it honestly?

At the end of last ski season, I forgot to take this pin off the zipper pull of my ski instructor employee jacket when I turned it in.
I had ski instructor rehire orientation today, and my pin found its way back to me. So satisfying! #lostandfound #alaska #psia
