I may not you follow back. It's not personal. I have a day job. I'm here for what interests me, and my time is limited. I never follow if there's no profile, or no posts, or only sex pics, or if it's clear the intent is to sell porn or ask for charity - I do give to my preferred charities.

Krissy called me down to the kitchen to have me eat a last bit of Thanksgiving leftovers so she could put its container into the dishwasher, and I just got a stern look from the dog warning me not to overstep into her territory ever again

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

Good morning, John (and Penny). Sometimes you just needed Snoopy and some tunes to drown out the fascists.

We can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory.

They're all blood, you see.

I played Guildenstern in a college presentation of "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead" and am certain I didn't do it justice, nevertheless happy to be able to speak the words. What a writer. RIP.
