"I could have been someone", well, so could anyone
You took my dreams from me when I first found you
I kept them with me, babe, I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone, I've built my dreams around you.
How did a person even write this? I almost can’t believe it.

Remember when you hated some foods as a kid, and you love them now? Tomatoes, broccoli?
And you aren't really sure if you're right now or you were right then?
Anyway, as a kid I couldn't stand to listen to some voices. Geddy Lee, Chrissy Hynde. And now I just adore them.

I'm making beef bourguignon for dinner. A pretty nice bottle of wine for cooking = $14. Two pounds of round steak = $20. 12 shallots at $2 each = $24! Those shallots better be good.

Here’s a stadium beer story: I went to a game at Yankee Stadium with my brother-in-law, probably 2007. He got the first round and came back with a couple of Heinekens, and said “these were $8 each, can you believe it?!” I did the math and figured 40 Danish kroner, half what you’d pay in Denmark.
I would like to thank stadiums for charging high beer prices for the sole purpose of *checks notes* causing people to be less rowdy at sports events. Bless you.

I’m potentially stranded overseas. If I am I’ll have to try to get pet food shipped to the kennel because I only sent enough….
So, I'm flying home on Saturday. Just got an email from Delta saying that the administration is demanding that they cancel 10% of their flights and ... they're figuring it out. Might be cancelled, might not. Hard to know.
Comforting.

A great song lyric is from Dylan’s “Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again”:
“Your debutante just knows what you need, but I know what you want”.
I thought of that the other day.

I used to get so bored out in right field that I’d squat down to pick the grass. Eventually my dad or one of the coaches would notice and yell at me.
But this guy gets it.

I always say that jaywalking is an imaginary crime (I’m a white guy). So I’ll cross wherever I want.
People ask, aren’t you worried that your safety is your own responsibility.
I tell them, it’s exactly the same in the cross walk with the “walk” light.

Be sure to check *all* directions for inattentive cars. Especially:
- Yellow lights
- Turn arrows
- Stop signs they don't feel like it
- Wrong way on one way streets
- Driveways
- Sidewalks
- Bike lanes
- Trees maybe
- Probably the sky soon idk
