Renee Good. You deserve to be spending the evening with your now orphaned child. A three point turn is not a capital crime.

ENOUGH.

One of the most important talks I have ever given. This awesome opportunity from @redmonk.com gave some purpose to the hell that is a dementia journey with your mother or partner. I'm indebted to Chris for allowing me to share this talk with him.

Mom's plane landed gracefully in November.
Continuing our Monktoberfest 2025 revisit, @circlejtp.me and Chris Petrilli share stories of caring for loved ones through the heartbreaking progression of dementia with honesty and compassion, opening up about the realities most people don’t talk about.

Steven, the VP of sales, has reached out and we are having a useful, productive conversation. They get it. We can have opinions of how we got here, but kudos to him for engaging and having an open, honest conversation.

Tripped on the sidewalk with a glass bottle of vodka and cut the ^%#* out of my hand. Still have scars and nerve damage. I was just old enough to be in Kindergarten. 🙃

It was a different time in Wisconsin.
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

There are valid reasons to not have Felix Hernandez on your Hall of Fame ballot. I just need to apologize ahead of town for my judgment of you in this moment.

It will fade in a week or two, I promise. This isn’t a rational reaction I admit. :)

As a vet, I hope every damn soldier, sailor, and airmen gets home safe. I’m here to support you as individuals.

I’m also incredibly ashamed of our country. This shouldn’t be who we are. Damn it. This isn’t what I defended or served for.

This set of observations is produced by my scrolling Reddit and otherwise listening to people talk about "how to write."

A) there is no requirement that any of your characters has any sort of "arc" let alone a redemption.

B) there is also no requirement that your fiction has a plot.

TW: Death

Jane and I went and spent a few minutes with Mom and Dad this morning. New headstone is in place and looks lovely. Miss them dearly and we are having a fun, amazing day in their honor. Picture is headstone. Just didn’t want to break anyone’s vibe.

Almost there, @sogrady.org. Just a few more days of this music. Our ears can then begin to heal.

My favorite memory on this topic was the nonsmoking section airplane section.
but not to worry there was a non smoking section 12 feet away that cigarette smoke knew not to enter
yes friend yes they did

Happy to say it is sunny and largely blue sky outside. Rivers are receding. Snow in the mountains. Let the cleanup begin. All of us in the area have lots of neighbors to go help out. Let's go!

Also if you are missing a trampoline, it is in our West pasture. Happy to help return it.

It just won't stop around here. So many homes and businesses have been ruined in the last week. Currently dumping rain and high winds again as well.

It's completely secondary to the danger of others, but the region will approach gridlock soon as well with the major pathways closed for flooding.

I’m again begging everyone to not create shame around taking medical and mental tests.

There are plenty of reasons to question and challenge the President and his health.

Early detection is the key to treatment and/or improving quality of life. Celebrate regular, recommended testing. Not shame.
