And you may find yourself living in an Apostolic Palace
And you may find yourself in a city that's inside Rome
And you may find yourself behind the glass of a large Popemobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful cassock, with designer shoes
And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"

Arguably the funniest video on the internet
Happy Exploding Whale Day to all who celebrate.

For my progressive and left-of-center🇺🇸 friends, this is cool: a political donation platform that directs you to the close races where your money will make the biggest impact, based on the issues you care about. It specifically seeks out campaigns that need funds and stand a real chance of winning.

When I was growing up, Iowa considered education its highest priority. It was a point of pride.

It's taken a beating in recent years as Iowa has gone more and more red, so proud of these kids for doing this and challenging the system.

My husband, @dougmakingstuff.com and I often say “I’m all for nutmeg” when we agree. I said it in front of a friend years ago and she immediately identified the season, the episode, and the recipe being shown. I just blinked at her in an astonished Bob Newhart sort of way. Amazing. #twofatladies
