You may recognize me from such places as #NOLAtwitter.

You may address me as Sir El Spotto, as befits my status as a Knight of the Sovereign Military Order of Sealand (OMS), or you can just call me El Spotto. It ain’t that big a deal.
Don’t get me wrong, I cherish every moment I got to spend with my dearest friends this week, but I have to say a quiet night at the beach house with a beer and the Capitals is going to unwind this introvert a whole lot before I go back to work on Monday.

Anyhow, I had a burger and a beer, watched the Penguins play, and got in some MarioKart with friends today. The rest of whatever is going on is secondary.

This commentator speaking about the World Juniors (hockey) just said “you need to get it in and work their D”

And then asked another commentator what their strongest part was. She said “their back end”.

Thank you TSN.

And we suddenly went from 2 couples (and two kids) plus myself in this gigantic beach house to…me. That wasn’t the original plan.

Anyhow, kegger at MP7.

This is my favorite time of year when Archive drops welcome to the family messages for all the new public domain works.
🎼 Welcome to the Public Domain, IT HAPPENED IN MONTEREY (1930) 🇲🇽

🎶 The popular song by Billy Rose & Mabel Wayne became a hit of the era & was memorably featured in Universal’s musical revue KING OF JAZZ the same year.

Well that’s cool. One of the older kids who isn’t here isn’t here because she wanted to spend time with her friends before heading off to an internship at Disney. She seems stoked and will get the opportunity to learn marketing from an undeniably good marketing company.

Like just disembodied lips stuck in a grin and piled so deep and wide there are waves? This Life Tribe sounds kinda evil. I like em.
Lalapi, the mascot for Life Supermarket, is a fairy of the Life tribe and comes from Happy Island, which floats in a sea of smiles.

That’s downright Dickensian. A blot of mustard, if you will.

Stick this in your timeline and cleanse it. This is Nugget. Nugget likes to play chase the human, loves blueberries, and…purrs. I would normally say don’t read
Reddit comments but this sub is all good people who enjoy guinea pigs. And Nugget is a superstar there.

Anyhow, the lead genius when I got the genius job at Apple is one of my best friend’s kid’s rowing coach. He all but disappeared when he left Apple with the intention of solo through hiking the Appalachian trail southbound.

Apparently he made it as far as DC, visited fam and never continued.

It is now time to try and be asleep before mountain time gets its turn.

Happy new year New Orleans.

Happy new year from the outer banks. I’m living in next year if you’re in New Orleans. Or Milwaukee. Or points west.

Pretty sure Taylor there used at least three cans of Aqua Net to keep that curl on her cheek from moving.

Then lurching worse than college football is college football pregame.

Sorry, it’s true.

I have apparently successfully woken up. Truly after that much good whiskey and good fellowship last night I would not have been surprised if the universe had ended this lap and recycled me for the next.

Now…where’s the headache pills and Gatorade, please?

I’m just gonna trust you on that one.

That time in 1995 when Starbucks sold everything from mugs to tile coasters to coffee storage containers with this image on it.

Wish I still had that storage container. They sell for a pretty penny.
Van Gogh often set vibrant yellows against cooler backgrounds like blue-violet night skies.

The contrast creates a halo-like glow, as the bright yellows blaze against the darker tones.

“My Lynn”!

One of the way more than 4 cities and towns that make up the Quad Cities.

And even after 3 years there that’s about all I could tell you about it.

This layer MFer friend of mine just broke out a bottle of bourbon from Bardstown you can buy retail. Apparently he has a “spirits concierge”

I felt like I was splurging on the $100 bottle of Hibiki Harmony I brought for the house. But damn is this 131° whiskey good.

This is Jack. Jack is the best boy at Swells’a brewing. I cannot disagree with this.

On a what now? Don’t get me wrong, I would gladly sample the clams or seared tuna, but let’s call it what it is: a hoagie.

The engineers of this house really messed up the water situation. There are three tankless water heaters and three floors. They are all on the top floor, back of house. That means my bottom floor, front of house room has tepid showers at best. Ideally they should be on each floor.
