Some (most) of the filler is pretty bad. I don’t know if I technically finished it but I enjoyed all the main arc stuff.

About to stress eat too much pizza.

Hear me out on this idea: pretirement. We take the next 20 years off, and then work for the rest of our lives.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains.

The inaugural Iron Galaxy Winter Classic golf outing was a success! Weather was perfect, even if the golf was less so.

First attempt at a Pequod’s style pan pizza with a caramelized cheese crust. Turned out pretty good! Having the ability to make this whenever I want could be dangerous…

We need to have a conversation about wombats - The Oatmeal This comic is about a lot of things, but mostly it is about butts.

I'm sure you've seen this already, but in case you haven't theoatmeal.com/comics/wombats

Totally. And Sony needs to get their shit together on a family plan for PS+ as well.

100% agree. Can’t tell you how many times my eyes glazed over while reading versions of the same boring cover letter over and over. But when something different and interesting came in? That got my attention.

Took our 12yo to see Benson Boone tonight. Literally had never heard of him as of a month ago. He put on an amazing show, complete with multiple backflips and other acrobatics. Amazing performer.

That’s not terrifying at all…

I remember going to my first wedding as a parent, we got on one of the first shuttles back to the hotel. My friend said, “look around, these are your people now.” It was basically all the grandparents and older family members.

If cargo shorts are wrong, I don’t want to be right.
