After nearly a year in, I can say that I thought giving up Amazon would be so much more difficult but it’s been a breeze. My semi-monthly, Monday night, one-hour-before-close-when-it’s-not-crowded Costco runs are a delight.

Baltimore ended the first half of 2022 with 179 homicides, the worst first half of a year on record (since 1970).
Baltimore just ended the first half of 2025 with 68 homicides, which is the fewest on record.
That’s a 62 percent drop from 2022-2025

One of my favorite things about parenthood is how the household vernacular gets passed down with no context. When dramatically pausing, my children both bellow “WAIT FOR IIIIIT” but have never seen Psych and have no idea they are quoting it.

I got a free 3 months of Sirius radio w/ my new lease, which I’ve always enjoyed while it lasts and then don’t subscribe. However, the number of times the showtunes station has life preserver buoyed my spirit from despair and spiraling in the last 2 weeks has me seriously considering paying for it.
