I’ve been listening to “the Faithful and the Fallen” series by John Gwynne and I saw this painting yesterday at an estate sale. I think it’s Brina and Craff!

San Diego Mumps Outbreak was awesome live opening for The Ramones.

This San Diego mumps outbreak has been going on for awhile, but it's still growing. I remember times when, if we heard about cases of infectuous diseases like measles & mumps, poential spread would get shut down quickly. These are not necessary those times. 🧵 www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/n...

Went last night to see #ChoirChoirChoir in Tarrytown. A really fun experience. Brought me back to High School Choir practice for a few hours. Gotta say, Fleetwood Mac is really not my vocal range.

So I was in NYC on 9/11 and my then future husband was in Chicago sleeping through it because 9/11 is his birthday and he’d had an epic bday night out the night before

Emergency Backup Cat (Aka Cat 2) has a new habit of … pushing open the blinds with her noggin? And it’s only one certain shade, near the bed? Will try to film tomorrow it’s pretty funny.

In his Second Discourse, Rousseau talks about how man was born free and able to live off the bountiful food that surrounded him in nature and then he was plucked from this state and introduced to society, where he was forced to labor. IG riverreachconstruction

Had hired someone today to come and do some grunt work. They were a no show. They gave a “decent” excuse. I ask you, Sky of Blue, second chance or no second chance?

My guy showed up right on time today, we banged out a 2 hour job in 45 minutes (still paid him for 2 hours). I was really impressed with how hard he worked. Good kid. Glad I gave him the chance!

I find the story of Hegelochus unreasonably funny. Imagine dying and the only trace of you millennia later is the time you accidentally said you saw a weasel in a tragic play in front of a packed audience, because people mocked you about it for centuries. (Thread for ease)
