As a manager, it's sometimes difficult to make everybody I work with happy, and it's the cases where I can't that spend more time on my mind. Still, hearing from a report that they see me doing well and feel well supported always makes the days a little bit better.

One of the nice things about living on the US East Coast is that of the next three trips I'm taking, two of them are actually by train.

Fun story: A few years ago (like, in 2023 or something), me, my wife, and her sister were all trick-or-treating around my in-law's neighborhood. At one house, the husband was skeptical because we weren't kids, but the wife exclaimed "Our First Teenagers!" excitedly. We were all 30+ at the time.

My parents just closed on selling the house I grew up in. They finished building that house 10 days before I was born, and now I’ll never set foot inside again. Feels surreal.
They got the offer and closed all without me in the state, so I never got to say a proper goodbye.

At a Hawker Center today, I’m pretty sure that one stall’s cash register is just a pile of newspaper the guy is putting the cash under (left of the pot in the photo). If it works, it works.

Update: finished the Australia leg of the trip, and it was a blast. Sydney is definitely a city I’d consider living in if it were closer to the rest of the world, and seeing the Great Barrier Reef was awesome.

I hear so much about people who care about the 2nd amendment, but not enough who care about the 5th. When due process can not be guaranteed, how are individuals sure that any other rights may be upheld?

Many of you know I post reviews of backpacks on my youtube channel, www.youtube.com/@AndyModellBackpacks. I'm thinking that I may soon begin posting some reviews of watches. Should I use the same channel or make a separate one?

Hey @scalzi.com: two questions for you if you've got time to answer:
1. What's the best way for me to procure a digital copy of The Shattering Peace such that you get highest royalties?
2. Did you ever meet Roger Zelazney? He was my father's favorite author and I love his Amber books.

Bell towers are fun because they let you know the time without having a watch or other clock handy. The tower I can hear from my office roof just rang its 11:15am chime, so I checked my watch to compare.... then I checked my computer and my phone.... the bell tower is about 90 seconds behind.

Nothing like casually putting in an order for 55lbs of chocolate because you don't want to be screwed by *waves hand at the world* and the current supply is running low.

I may have missed a round start day 2 of the Calling NJ and got knocked out of the money by the IP, but grabbing this ©️2018 uncut Ira starter deck sheet was totally worth it #fabcw #fabtcg. Also, here’s a baseball with art from all the Worlds2022 artists, JW, and Michael Hamilton signatures
