I removed “illustrator” from my profile description today. It’s time to face facts, I just don’t draw any more like I used to.

The seasons of our lives change and at some point we have to accept the pain of letting go of something you once loved.

#Utah does outdoor recreation right. Very interesting plan!
This western state just unveiled plans for a 3,100-mile bicycle interstate system
Utah plans to build a paved bike path within one mile of 95% of the state's residents.

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

Which instrument do you most identify with in “Take Five” by The Dave Brubeck Quartet?

Narcissists will claim the oboe but we all know the good people are the piano, unheralded but foundational. #jazz #music #fascistssuck

Having previously retrieved the Stickiest Stick That Ever Sticked, Finn manifested a Very Large Tennis Ball on our walk which also — and I cannot stress this enough — squeaks Very Much when squozed. #dogs #pets

I found this summary of where we are in the US unsettling and pointed. Well worth the read. slate.com/news-and-pol...
How Will You Know That America Has Become a Dictatorship? After 20 Years Living in One, I Can Tell You.

The current time where I am is 12:34 and this makes me weirdly happy. I love a strong numerical sequence.

I don't want to brag but my PayPal balance is $2.82. And that's a POSITIVE $2.82.

Please don't solicit me for donations, though, I may be rich but I'm not GoFundMe rich.

In high school I had to switch from French to German because my French teacher was convinced I was "Leading the class in rebellion" against her.

Going from a language where half the letters are just for show to one where BY GOD IF THE LETTER IS PRESENT YOU WILL PRONOUNCE IT! was quite jarring.

My boss and I just invented a new Russian proverb after losing a couple of support clients:

"It's a lot of small potatoes, but enough small potatoes is a meal."
