I might keep a running list of things I’m throwing away to make room in the garage. The first thing out today was a 10lb. brick of clay that dried into a doorstop about 20 years ago. Time to go.
I'm at work again. This is the first time in five+ years I've been in the office five days in a row and I'll tell you what: I'm not doing it again anytime soon. How did we do this before? This is dumb.

If you have the means, there are two more performances of Carmina Burana with the Oregon Symphony and you should go to one or more of them.

If you have a 25lb frozen turkey (which, like, why would you do that to yourself), today is a good day to start defrosting it in the fridge

Hey Portland ppl... teens in foster care are the most overlooked group to receive donated gifts. This group aims to address that with custom gift bags. It's a really cool thing if you've got a little spare scratch this season. https://www.project48.co/programs/holiday-giving-tree-teens-foster-care

No better way to sweep away negative #MLS league news of GM misconduct than by releasing the 2026 schedule before the conclusion of this current one!

and I’m again marveling that my parents broke up and then my dad called my mom on a Tuesday and said,”let’s get married.” And she said,”well, okay. When?” And he said,”Thursday.” So they went to Vegas.

We’re a week out from the next Major Holiday and I’m so sentimental about *everything* that I cannot hold any important information in my head for more than two minutes.

Ghosts make no scientific sense but also, before I forget, your house is totally haunted.
do you believe in ghosts or are you like me, a person who finds themself saying all the time “I absolutely don’t believe in ghosts, but this place has ghosts.”

Thinking of doing a mood blanket next year.
It’s almost the end of the year so come in here real close:

You do not want to do a temperature blanket. You don’t. A year is a long time and everyone is falling apart, don’t do this to yourself. Also, it’s gonna make you think really scary thoughts about climate change. Don’t do it.
