There's a small business called Simpli Fresh down the street from our Sweetgreens. We've been there a few times. The ingredient/combinations don't hit the same as the Sweetgreen harvest bowl, my wife's go-to.

Most of the quotes are negative, but Sweetgreens has been FANTASTIC for us.
Competition for frugal healthy options in Ann Arbor are lacking. So yes, we're paying $14/salad because that's literally the same price as a burger and fries at Culver's.

I was writing for a predominantly white audience website at the time, and they were passively suggesting that I write a response from the Black perspective denouncing the violence.
I started "The Slap Heard 'Round the World," but it sat in drafts. I was like, "Nope, I would have done the same."

Yeah, I did the right thing. AFOLs already know.
If you have been on the fence like I have and you see the Mighty Bowser in the wild, go ahead and pull the trigger. It's only going to get more expensive.

A friend hosted a bday get-together at an apple orchard.
(Weird) Midwestern things (to this Southerner).
She hired a friend/photographer and he jokingly suggested to the group that frolicking down the path would be fun.
So I demonstrated.

I may have done something irresponsible.
Wife spotted The Mighty Bowser at Barnes & Noble. It's on backorder on LEGO's site, and is retiring, which means it might be impossible to buy direct.
Ended up buying TWO retiring sets. The hat is going to a co-worker who is an HP fan.
Dog not included.

Thinking about the "why is she with HIM?" comments, and I was hit with an epiphany:
Have those folks tried being married to a pastor for nine years? Especially SDA?
She looks like she's having a good time.

I feel that this is necessary to shift the Overton Window.
We need more progressives like Zohran to expose neoliberals for the frauds that they actually are.
A Trump endorsement is a kiss of death.

I would love to reverse that energy while respecting my wife's desire to stay off social media.
Been trying to buy her flowers more often over the past few years. Here's one example.

I fully believe that MacKenzie Scott does this to spite her (racist, male) billionaire peers.
If the people ever rally to eat the rich, let her be spared.
