I follow with abandon academics, writers, artists, and others who make the world more intelligible and enjoyable, but I also likes me some silly stupid posts. As one other poster here has said, my apologies in advance for the dichotomy.

Apparently I was put into a Starter Pack of "People who are not in any Starter Pack" by some guy named Epimenides.
I see chilaquiles often mentioned as a great breakfast cure for hangovers. I don't drink hard enough to need them for that, but I am grateful to Mexican cuisine to accommodate me with that remedy if I ever do.

Had a grocery store sandwich for lunch today that was as disappointing as it was expensive, which was a relationship I did not expect.

When the kid has a better dinner date, Dad cooks for himself. Sadly, the steak was overdone (medium well) vs the target medium rare; this Dad still needs to learn a thing or two over an unforgiving charcoal grill.

"I watched them tearing a building down,
A gang of men in a busy town.
With a ho-heave-ho and a lusty yell,
They swung a beam, and the side wall fell."

I’d always known that my wife had difficulty admitting mistakes, but one day in 2016, I pointed out that she’d entered our address incorrectly into the GPS. She denied it, and we arrived at the home of a lovely elderly couple named Burt and Anna, whom we’ve lived with ever since.

Always thought that introducing a cover charge to the grocery store would cut down on traffic but I guess I just described Costco which is less enjoyable than a grocery store so don't expect any more great ideas out of me
