Melissa got a new blood sugar tester. Checked hers tonight and it was over 200 (bad). She tried mine, came back as 104 (good).
To make her feel better(?) we used my blood pressure tester. Mine, 154/103 (bad), hers 123/87 (good).
This is what getting old together looks like. At least for us.

He was a Whopper, I was a McRib—back for a limited time, only at participating locations. He told me to "have it your way," I was content enough to say "I'm lovin' it." Could I really be his Burger Queen? He doesn't have a worm in his brain by the way. So the memes are wrong, the ones about the worm

I don't care if two grown men blow each other off, but I do care about the hypocrisy. And, if it's true, I can't think of anything that would unit the world more than the photo getting out. Can you imagine?

I have a guy that really wants to be a vibe coder, and I said in a meeting today, "in order for the LLM to give you your ring size, you must feed it your finger."

I don't know why I stopped watching Jelle's Marble Runs, but this morning I feel like stopping was a mistake.

Depeche Mode's Violator album might be the most replayed in my collection.

I know that several of my friends here should see this game.
For example, this would be an absolutely blast on the next (and *sniff* final) WXR cruise.

Happy Veterans Day! Here's a picture of me just on my way out of Basic Training. Hard to reconcile this young guy with the old man I see in the mirror these days.

I don't know how you come out of an election result like Tuesday and then fold like wallet. I don't see how you can look at the major shift -- in your favor -- and then decide to unconditionally surrender.

Here is a quick post about writing villains, and not drawing inspiration from our real-life villains, since they're... not fun.
Also a look into why the current Mel Walker story I'm working on may be the last.

I feel bad for Liz Cheney. I don't agree with her politics, but she showed integrity and character, and the GOP ousted her for it.
Heaven or Hell, wherever her dad is going, I hope he doesn't shoot anyone in the face and make them apologize for it on the way there.

I'm eating this Gala, thinking, "Am I tasting anything interesting here?"
No. I'm not. This stupid apple just tastes like apple. Which is fine, but not interesting.
Chuck has messed me up.
