Texas native, family is all in Tennessee, but home is now in the PNW. Not mad about it.
In Washington state and we’re stuck in our neighborhood due to downed trees. It’s been almost a decade here and this is the first time it’s felt like Tennessee weather.

The neurologist today told us not to worry about dementia anymore for my dad because the cancer will likely take him before the brain can go.

How do they deliver this kind of news day after day?

Anyway, the incessant march of time is some bullshit.

All chickens/roosting aside how would you expect the person who incited the death threat against you to react when you tell them about the death threat they incited against you
Marjorie Taylor Greene claims she shared with Trump death threat she received that he incited, and his response was "extremely unkind"

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

I borrowed my son’s car, an ‘04 Lexus with a 6-disc cd changer. Out of the radio came the dulcet tones of Nate Dogg and Warren G, off to regulate.

His car in the same age as he is and together the two are timeless.

Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

My little (22yo) baby boy is on his first solo trip and I’m so nervous! How did my parents stand me traveling all over the world in my early 20’s?

I never told my parents about my two muggings, here’s hoping my son has far better luck than I did. NYC, please be kind!

I like that my family can talk politics because we’re all on the same page. Thankful for my non-sociopathic family this year.

This is so dark. Good god.
“After Ferreira was detained, Dos Santos Rodrigues said Michael Leavitt Sr. and his father, Bob Leavitt, reached out to her.”

“‘They just kept saying, ‘Tell her to self-deport,’” she recalled. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...
‘Brazil is not her home.’ Mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew, brought to US as child, detained by ICE. - The Boston Globe
Bruna Ferreira, 33, was brought to the United States as a child in 1998. She is now in removal proceedings in Louisiana.

“I don’t do politics”

Well, politics is doing us, regardless.

So pay attention.

The entire world is perplexed because the President of the United States appeared cordial in one meeting.

That’s how crazy this timeline is.

Note for Democratic politicians: you don't have to start your condemnations of ICE raids with "We all want to catch violent criminals, but..." Just say "These raids have nothing to do with catching criminals and everything to do with terrorizing innocent minority groups."

I told a story about killing rattlesnakes back in Texas and my PNW girlfriends were aghast. I hate it when my weird Southerner stories slip out and shock people.

Don’t even get me started on my Southern Baptist stories that stun folks up here.

I had to say goodbye to my dad again to fly home. He has stage 4 bladder cancer and I never know for sure if he’ll be there when I go back.

My heart really is in two places and it hurts like hell. Life really is too much sometimes.

On my flight out of Nashville and there’s some kid sitting next to me in full country music costume and I suppose I should know who he is but I never do.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Some really high quality work from a local tv journalist in Nashville. I wish every local tv news operation had someone like him, but there is only one Phil Williams.

It’s never good when the oncologist tells you that she was shocked by how much the cancer spread. Now we hope my dad has a gene that will allow for immunotherapy, as that’s our last resort.

Once again…fuck cancer.

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

I had drinks with an 81yo woman this evening and her advice to me and my mother was this:

“For fucks’ sake, don’t get married again when you lose your husband. We didn’t know it back then, but men are garbage.”

Welp. It’s not just Gen Z.
