@mrmaresca.com, I saw this and immediately thought of you and Tony. (Who seems to not be here at the moment.)

Pedro Pawscal, no doubt because of living outside for so long, is absolutely terrified of thunderstorms. Not ideal when living somewhere with daily afternoon storms. So, most afternoons, he cuddles with me under a blanket while I crochet. It’s freaking adorable.

Since we're all discussing Coldplay now, would someone please confirm the existence of Roman cavalry choirs?

Delta has a trivia game you can play inflight. Looks like I still got it. #FormerJeopardyChamp

Not the guy we trespassed earlier this year for watching porn on the public computers back at the computers but cleverly disguised with a disposable 😷? Florida, man.

Democrats, if you have the balls to text me for money, I’m going to need to see you building a guillotine or at least filling a sock full of batteries.

What did Battlestar Galactica say? “It happened before. It will happen again.”
