I am a superhero, chum. Evil, in any form, is definitely not okay with me. I love coffee, and Wordle too. My sidekick is Arthur, who's still socially shy.
Well, I know I feel safer knowing this marauding children's gang of infielders, outfielders, pitchers and catchers won't be able to terrorize the good people of Williamsport.

I wanted to post something about brain-dead individuals who are offended by Superman's virtuous nature, but words are failing me at the moment. Sad that evolution is so elusive for some.

I just turned down the role of Grand Marshall of The City's Fourth of July parade tomorrow because frankly I'm not sure there's reason to celebrate.
Elected evil is the worst evil.

Honestly, Arthur, I don't see what's so supreme about it. Supreme seems like an out and out fib.

The notion of Friday the 13th being ominous just seems quaint at this point.

For the record, I stand just over 7 feet tall, weigh around 550 (give or take) and could probably throw a small car over the left field wall at Fenway Park from home plate.
Having said that, I have questions, as did Senator Padilla.
We clear?

It's a strange (yet vaguely familiar) feeling starting each day with the thought "I wonder what (insert evildoer here) and the president will be up to today."

Indeed. And it’s not just the EPA that’s missing the ‘P’, is it?
It ain’t easy.💚

Hah! Guess I missed that coincidence by more than 'just that'!
Could very well be. Think it’s hilarious we’re 86 and 99, like ‘Get Smart’, though. 😂

The best thing to do when you don't know WHAT to do? Do the best thing you CAN do.
It works for me, and I hope you too.

Limiting myself to a half-pound of jellybeans, and feeling very disciplined. I learned from last year (turns out four pounds was WAY overdoing it).
Stay moderational, everyone!
