I try to hit apexes, but not cones.
I like a lot of difficult music. I sing pretty well.
My eldest child described me as "a woke Boomer."
"Behind the Bastards" got me into reading more history.
Non-political, feel-good post: I just made the "Extra crispy roast potatoes," from Kenji Lopez-Alt's "The Food Lab."

I ate a piece, immediately stuck another on a fork and high-tailed it over to my wife.
"What is it?"
"Potato."
She took a bite, looked at me and said, "Oh. My. God."
Spudfection.

Are Jellyfish lights the pink flamingo/lawn jockey of the '20s, or the residential answer to truck nuts?
