If you eat entire cake without cutting it, you technically only had one piece.

Someone asked me the name of the inspector from the Pink Panther movies.

I don’t have a Clue, so... I need help.

I finished 'Trust No One' by @jamesrollins.bsky.social last night. Great stand-alone thriller!

Now starting 'Across the Universe: The Past, Present, & Future of the Crossword Puzzle' by @natanlast.bsky.social. I've been looking forward to this one for a while.

Keep reading, my frinds! 💙📚

Practice the pause.

Honestly, only if they all get the ultimate sanction.

When this is all over, if we rid ourselves of this cancer on our nation, there will be so much work to do before we can look ahead. Getting back to the status quo of 2024 won't be enough, if it's even possible.

Society, and government's role in it & for it, will have to change.

Just my two cents.

At this point, if I get picked up by aliens, I'm just going to go ahead and consider it a rescue mission instead of an abduction. 👽 👾

Light's green, you can go.

ETTD, Kristi.

I don't gain weight.

I retain delicious memories.

If I'm... reading their lips... correctly, the neighbors are complaining about some creepy guy with binoculars next door.

Every Day is Exactly the Same...

This week's forecast calls for rane, hale, gails, drissle, thundre, litnin, tawnaydoes and frizzing colde.

Just a really bad spell of weather.

I laugh at my own jokes because I am my target audience.

You all just happen to be there!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I do the same with true crime shows. Background noise.

Father: I'm an expert at identifying birds.

Son: OK, What about those birds flying over there?

Father: Yep, those are birds!

What an absolute tool.

I'm sick. It's not Covid, RSV, or the flu. I seem to have been struck down by the common cold... 😷

My wife made a delicious home-made chicken noodle soup today. ❤️

PS, I hate being sick. 😭

Why do people wear shamrocks on St. Patrick's Day?

Regular rocks are too heavy.

At the gym, I saw a lady on the exercise bike wearing a helmet.

So I put on a life jacket and got on the rowing machine next to her.

Thankfully, it's not covid, the flu, or RSV (tested this morning). Both stories have their strong points, 'Changeling' was more character driven, while 'Sluagh' was more action packed.

I finished a couple of short stories by my friend, @barrykgregory.bsky.social, 'Changeling' & 'Slaugh' (Biff Stone: Monster Hunter for Hire) Thursday evening. Highly recommended!

Tonight, I started 'Trust No One' by James Rollins. Didn't get too far cause I'm sick as a dog. 😭

Gee, thank you for the history lesson. I feel so much better.

Back in the chair at LifeSouth Community Blood Centers this morning donating platelets. This is a tangible way I can support my local community.

Blood donors save lives.

I think we were all mistaken. Or maybe it was a typo in the press release.

Trump's recently announced committee is really the 'Bored of Peace'.

The Epstein files must be incredibly damning for Trump.

I weep for humanity.

I say this a lot, but I have some talented friends! I finished reading two of @barrykgregory.bsky.social's stories last night, 'Changeling' & 'Sluagh'. Action! Humor! Monsters! The 70's!

These stories just whet my appetite for more Biff Stone! 💙📚

Highly recommended! Thank you, Barry!

I finished 'Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection' by Charles Duhigg. Will work to internalize these lesssons.

Next up, a couple of short stories by my friend, @barrykgregory.bsky.social, 'Changeling' & 'Slaugh' (Biff Stone: Monster Hunter for Hire)!
