I usually target 2pm,expecting to be running a bit behind schedule. This year we are at my in-laws' and they do 6pm.

With these times, what time are you serving?

I don't think they could have done a marketing campaign for this movie without showing Rocky. I do wish they had leaned harder on "Why am I here?" rather than "I'm not an astronaut" in the trailers.

My kids love this game! When we are playing in the pool they climb onto our backs and say "where is [kid's name]?" and we spin around looking for them until they fall off. It's great fun (and a heck of a core workout).

What I'm really saying is my kids treat me like a cat.

Glad to hear they fixed that particular issue. However, that it was necessary to fix demonstrated a fundamental design miss to me. Combined with other ergonomic and user interface issues, I still consider that drive to be top 2 worst driving experiences I've ever had. The other was a rental Hyundai.

A few years ago, I test drove a Tesla Model Y. I opened the door from the inside with the obvious handle and the car started screaming at me. Apparently the handle is only for emergency use and has a chance of breaking the car. One of many red flags that'll keep me from ever buying a Tesla.

Made a pretty good braised pork loin for dinner tonight. Dusted with salt, pepper, all spice, cinnamon, garlic powder, and cayenne and seared. Braising liquid was onion and apple, splashes of cointreau and apple cider vinegar, and chicken stock. Side- stirfried broccoli with a gochujang based sauce.

That's the Tesla belt buckle they released when they "moved" to Texas.

That moment at the end when he turns away from the window says it all. When faced with the absurdity of reality, sometimes the only thing you can do is laugh.

Ha! I had a massive roller bag for a Monday - Saturday work trip last week. Didn't help that I had to bring a full suit for one event.

This whole discussion is giving me big "nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded" vibes. Relocating from a well connected city center to a car dependent suburb is never a great move.

And the people joking about dentists making bank off this are off base. Dentists are the first people to push for fluoridated water. (See ADA recommendations) They'd love to free up time for cosmetic work, where the profit margins are way higher.

Thanks for sharing on Bluesky, Gav! It's been an exciting project to work on!

Not flying, but I will see you there tonight!
