I recently overheard a co-worker use the phrase "Formerly Known As Prince", so I asked him to clarify if he was talking about Rogers Nelson or Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

I regret never seeing “Worlds Biggest Iceberg” live in concert. Wishing the individual members of the group good luck with their solo careers.

Sure, I’ll admit it. I do get some enjoyment from sharing my hobbies with family & friends, but how come I can’t tap into the intense, euphoric energy experienced by the people in commercials for Rinvoq, Tremfya & Skyrizi?

If you’re in the US Intelligence Service and want to have a super top secret discussion about recovering The Ark Of The Covenant, is it really a good idea to do talk about it in a large, open college lecture hall?

Testing out the new 3D Printer at work. Wish I would have had one of these back in 8th grade playing Dungeons & Dragons!

I’m hoping this years Fourth of July goes a lot smoother than last years, when I bought fireworks from the “Dangerously Unpredictable and Certifiably Deranged” fireworks vendor.

Within the last three weeks, I’ve been a Bro, a Homie and a Partner. Any suggestions which title I should add next to my list?

Dang it! If I knew I was going to take a personality test today, I would have studied. Hopefully the Thetans won’t lower my B+ to a C-.

The last few months, I've had a tough time staying positive & not getting cynical when reading/listening to current events. This interview with Pete Buttigieg was a tremendous breath of fresh air. It's over an hour long, so great listen if you have a long drive. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Interesting bit of trivia. The initial working title of the fifth movie was “Harry Potter and The Order Of The Grande Dark Roast with No Cream Phoenix Coffee with A Blueberry Muffin” but they had a hard time fitting this on a theater marquee.

One of my favorite things about MPR and NPR is how they report the news. So many other news sources use headlines which elict strong emotional resources (recently heard the term is called Outrage Bait) while they keep it calm.
Plus I really love "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me"!

How come the current administration has not imposed any tariffs whatsoever with the countries of Wakanda, Zumunda, Latveria and Parador?
The trade imbalances with these places are even higher than the one the United States has with Narnia!
