I would save the money to fly to San Francisco, board the dogs, get a hotel, and pay for the meal if Keller himself served me in a maid outfit.

Not my joke but I can’t remember where I saw it (and it was about this guy) “I told the father I would name boy after him”.

The new West? I have the audio and now I’m super curious.

Thank goodness it’s something normal. Because I’m with you in that every certified letter I received was something bad.

Wow. I am normally supportive of pockets of dresses, but that was the nail in the coffin of that horrible dress.

He lost his primary and is blaming it on them not allowing him to include the word “shamwow” on the ballot

It seems like everything that could go wrong did, and right now I’m only peeved at USATF for doing a too fast of a review.

I have technically been a race director, but for the middle school fun run (2 miles, but there was finisher prizes). I feel bad for everyone involved.

What a mess. I’m glad? that the course change seems to be an honest mistake because of an emergency and that ATC is trying to make it right

That’s where we’re at, too. I’m about to get the concession for an automatic for the next car since manuals are hard to find and someone’s having a hard time driving with a bum left knee.

Don’t discount minivans. Not as cool, but they usually have a lower step with more leg and head room with better gas mileage.

Stay on the Kansas side to avoid extra inspections but go to KC. That’s all I’ve got because I’m not as car picky, but Laura had luck with the car finder pages if you’re being really specific (our last had to be a manual Subaru with fairly low mileage).

The glasses would get me. I sat next to the same girl for a semester when I went back to college, and did not recognize her at all when she was the new assistant principal at my wife's school 12 years later.

This is what happened when I turned off PBS on Saturdays when all the good cooking shows were done.

The only Tillyverse I will accept is Jennifer.

Weather app says it’s rained 3” and I’m super happy it’s liquid except for the sleet when it first started. I don’t even know what that much ice would be like.

Thundersleet is weird. I cut a run very short because I got too hot.

A chocolate lab with a lion stuffie in her mouth. She ripped the eyes out of the stuffie and is very proud of her work.

Our youngest dog, Faith, turned 3. She’s a good girl who enjoys going to school with my wife and ripping the eyes out of stuffies. #uglydogs

I hope you like it all the way to the end. It gets a lot more bonkers in the last third.

North Sun: Or, the Voyage of the Whaleship Esther FINALIST FOR THE 2025 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD IN FICTION From "one of our great artists of catastrophe" (Laura van den Berg) comes North Sun, or the Voyage of the Whaleship Esther-an allegory of extraction and a tale of adventure and endurance during the waning days of the American whaling industry. Setting out from New Bedford in 1878, the crew of the Esther is confident the sea will be theirs: in addition to cruising the Pacific for whale, they intend to hunt the teeming northern grounds before the ice closes. But as they sail to their final destination in the Chukchi Sea, where their captain Arnold Lovejoy has an urgent directive of his own to attend to, their encounters with the natural world become more brutal, harrowing, ghostly, and strange. With one foot firmly planted in the traditional sea-voyage narrative, and another in a blazing mythos of its own, this debut novel looks unsparingly at the cost of environmental exploitation and predation, and in doing so feverishly sings not only of the past, but to the present and future as well.

Our March book is North Sun: Or, the Voyage of the Whaleship Esther by Ethan Rutherford. We'll meet on Tuesday, March 31, at 8pm at the Taproom to discuss. #lfk #booksky

Forrest Gump is because it was the one tape that played before she got a European player.

That was my favorite theater. Got the movies too big for Liberty Hall but too small for Southwind.

I also want the “taped off of HBO” cut.

Was that the one at 23rd and Iowa? I went out of my way to see Eyes Wide Shut there when it opened.

I’m loving this series and can’t wait for the next one.

I like Sabrina Carpenter, and I love whoever wrote the line “you have a lightening rod as big as Zeus’”
