UGA grad. If you spent any time at Uptown Lounge in the early 90’s, I probably spilled a drink on you. Expect typos, early and often.

If I call you Bubba, it’s pure endearment.

“Don’t rush on your math test, k? That’s when simple computational mistakes happen.”

“Ugh, I don’t know why you and Mom keep saying that.”

“Well, you took 12 minutes on your last one and it seems to have affected your grade.”

“I DIDN’T RUSH I JUST FINISHED QUICKLY!”

Me: “DO YOU WANT TO DO LAW?”
A friend sends me this from his duck pond in SW Georgia today.

“I’m worried about Macro, she’s been in her room all day and hasn’t moved.”

Me: “Did you forget what it was like as a teenager, those weekends after a full week of school *and* working a Thursday/Friday/Saturday shift?”

“Stop talking before I start crying, dab my eyes, and she’s gone.”

So old I can remember when it was called a “doggy bag” and not a To-Go box.

Blaming @notarizona.bsky.social for my Bloody Mary fixation. Solved that problem, in-house. Lack of celery is a feature, not a bug.

Greg Bovino was seen earlier today at the Minneapolis ICE facility dressed in a very nazi-inspired outfit. They don’t even hide anymore.

A flock of redwinged blackbirds all taking flight at the same time sounds like a crashing ocean wave and I love it.

Something special about violin bowstrings flailing about above the bow. Gives off serious ass-kicking vibes.

Listen when you can and take care of your people and they will take care of you.

Halfway through an 8 hour endurance race at Spa.

Been knocking it out in increments since Sunday. Resumes from sleep mode just fine, but it rained for 15 laps in hour 5 and the AI cars are eating me alive. Lead down to 10 seconds.

Note to self: never try to sell an intangible product to an engineer, especially when some of the pricing is tied up in expertise and said engineer appears to be the smartest person in the room (just ask him).
