First novel read in 2025 is Trevanian's *Shibumi.*

If I'm being totally honest, I wasn't at all impressed. 📚

Flight attendant on our flight looks like Glenne Headly from when she was in 2 Days In The Valley.

The SPDR Bloomberg High Yield Bond ETF's ticker symbol is JNK, and that is some high-level dad joking/'80s referencing right there.

I feel it is very misleading that Center, TX, is not, in fact, in the center of Texas.

What a multicultural evening: took my Rwandan, fresh off lacrosse practice, to get South African chicken, at Nando's Peri-Peri. He left a fan.

Probably the best eclipse totality shot from the three family members in DFW area. Our high schooler captured this at school.

My friend Jack Stewart's new book, Outlaw, is out, and it's an absolute banger that establishes him as a master of the techno-thriller genre. My review: www.retrophisch.net/2024/02/24/r...

I will spare my Louisiana friends the utter travesty being displayed today at our office cafeteria.

Let's just say the items kale, tofu, and Old Bay are attached to "New Orleans recipes." 🤢

It's been a great run with Ryan and Kayla, over 160 episodes to date, over 600,000 downloads, no telling how many streams from various platforms, listeners from all over the world. Can't wait to see where we go in the next 8 years!

Eight years ago today, the first episode of The Empowered Parent Podcast (aka, the Tapestry Empowered to Connect Podcast) was published.

Not quite ready to say what's going on here, but I *can* assure you it has nothing to do with Iowa caucus results.

What if a fantasy band of adventurers were treated like we treat rock bands in our time?

That's the premise behind one of my favorite fantasy novels of the past decade, Nicholas Eames' "Kings of the Wyld," on sale for $3 on Kindle today. Definitely recommended: www.amazon.com/dp/B01KT7YTX...

The fact that the first song the Apple Infinite Playlist algorithm churned out after the entirety of the debut album by Bad English finished playing was Steve Perry's "Oh Sherrie" makes me think said algorithm programmer has a very good sense of humor.

Happy Signum Regis release day to all who celebrate.

And is that a kick-butt metal cover or what?

I pulled up "Close My Eyes Forever" by Lita Ford & Ozzy Osbourne, and the Apple Autoplay has been doing yeoman's work with the '80s hard rock/heavy metal since.

Just musically wandering through my teenage years while working...
