I love bands, beer, bacon, bourbon, and my Boo. Hate bigots and will bust you for being one. Basically things that start with B it appears.

It’s stupid I have to navigate the roads in St. Louis County by where fucking potholes are.
I say this because I just hit an especially deep new pothole, at an unfortunate angle, now replacing yet another tire this spring.
Note to self: get big bag of gravel in my trunk to fill holes.

It’s heartbreaking watching the weather guy that’s on KSDK right now try to explain why the weather service is understaffed without directly calling out the jackasses that fired all those people.

I keep going to news sites that say "deny all cookies" or "(make your choices)" in some way.
How bad of a human am I that I click on 'deny tasty cookies'?
I tell you true, if there was an 'accept bacon' button everyone in the world could have my digital footprint.

Much thanks to the #STL road crews that have been able to get to the roads.
Would have been better for all that to be complete and quick, but the logistics of what they (y'all) had to navigate was immense.

Before shoveling that final third of our driveway a bit ago, I came up with a new class of medicine.
Prebuprofen.
Take a handful of ibuprofen (your own hand is that measurement), before you start on the last 2500 sqft of frozen suburban concrete tundra.
Go forth.

I'm worried about what Gaetz will be up to next. Learned in high school euro-studies class that you can hate the top dog but always know who will replace them. At the top, nomination or otherwise, are predictable to some degree. Once free from that degree of predictability, bad things could happen

Logged into Twitter for the first time in a week (through the browser, deleted the app) and had 31 notifications.
29 of them were porn or politics bots.
Happy to leave that bottom of the barrel shithole.

I’m at my favorite local haunt for a quick beer and they’re doing Friends trivia.
Super fascinating and fun to watch all the 20 somethings coming to play :) #90s

Yo! My son is 21 today. 21 years ago I claimed his first drink so my wife and I are taking him to my favorite steak joint!
Kinda nostalgic for those first few days he was around. I'm a better human because of him.

I looked at the news for the first time in a few days.
Trumps current picks for gov't roles make me think how SNL would be if George Orwell was a writer.
Maybe he'll tap one of the people he fired on the Apprentice to run Treasury or something.
Scarier that I thought it would.

One month ago I got to marry the absolute greatest love of my life. Then our guests showed joy & excitement not just for us, but for each other.
A beautiful, memorable moment of my life on par with my 2 kids being born.
Married life is quite groovy.

Also, I listened to some new music today and for the first time in a decade didn't immediately think, "I'll play this on my show this week." Vacillating between sad and angry which likely put Master Of Puppets on tonight.

On our 5th day of 45k+ mold and pollen count.
I’m on my 3rd cup of Deathwish Coffee and still nodding off like Keith Richards in the 70's.

Sunday night.
Just did a ton of research and prep to figure out what I need to do for my community radio station.
Now, going through all the pics of the last Strange Loop and feeling about how grateful I am for that part of who I am. It will always be with me.
