@evan oh just hanging out with some friends. I was a bartender at this place (RIBCO), since closed. It was a great blues/jazz place in Rock Island, IL.

Going through photos on the eve of my 57th birthday, and found this. It was taken a little over 24 years ago. Holy wow. Tempus fugit indeed.

“As we continue to alter our planet’s climate, we must be prepared for unexpected phenomena that challenge our current understanding and demand new ways of thinking. The ground beneath us is shaking, both literally and figuratively. While the scientific community must adapt and pave the way for informed decisions, it’s up to decision-makers to act.”

Thank you for this day. 🌇

Today I’ll be working in the gardens. The front yard looks especially wonky because I’ve let it go. I wanted to see how full sun would affect them. A Rose of Sharon tree is going in and a bunch of weeds are coming out! Coffee first.

Thank you for this day. 🌇

A snapshot from last night, heading to the train. I really do love this town.

“In one sense, there are very few women in the world who will have had the precise experience the vice president did last night. But I doubt there are many women who have not felt themselves forced to thread that needle and win by being all the things.” — Anand Giridharadas

@roadriverrail my middle daughter was adopted by a feral ginger tomcat. The day he decided to jump up on the bed and watch TV with the rest of the menagerie was hilarious. I call him Ollie the Former Feral.

Please keep the family of Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau in your prayers. This is horrific. And 100% preventable.

Don’t drink and drive.

Trump really is a completely immoral and wholly repellent person. There is no redeeming quality to him. Nothing.

It’s National Dog Day and Ronin wants you to know that he’s very good at hiding.

While watching her speech, I literally thought to myself, “I have this suit in my closet.”

When I appear at a professional speaking engagement, I wear a black suit with a black blouse.

The clothing choice was a subliminal, powerful message of empathy, affiliation and power.

Kennedy family statement regarding RFK Jr.’s decision to drop out of the presidential race and endorse Trump.

(Good riddance to bad rubbish says I)

Would that I could like and boost this more than once. You have expertly distilled the meaning and motivations behind banning books. It’s erasure.

Wow. Just wow. Kamala Harris has vigor, determination, intelligence, kindness and integrity. She’s going to make a hell of a President.

Let’s do this.

Did anyone else put Bugles at the end of their fingertips and pretend they were witches, or is it just me?

The world is buckling bc of a few megalomaniac men who were either denied love or have a warped view of what love is.

Love is the only way out of this. Kindness is the antidote to hate. Don’t let hate change you. Vote. Breathe. Drink water. Honor each other. Hate is untenable.

Witnessing the joy of the #HarrisWalz ticket invigorating the electorate reminds me of Monsters Inc. — the realization that laughter generated more power than fear.

Pay attention to the people you allow into your orbit. Your friends, colleagues and everyone in your extended environment have an effect and impact on your mindset and development as a person.

Do a quick audit: …do the people you spend time with encourage you? …love you for who you are? …see your highest vision for yourself? …are they positive and optimistic? …Or do they tear you down? …make fun of you?

Choose wisely, because your friends are fuel.

Here’s me shucking corn in the early 1970s. My grandma made sure that if you ate meals in our household, you contributed to the process. As a result, I’m a fairly skilled amateur prep cook.

I can still remember the squeak of the coarse, grippy leaves as they were pulled from the ear.
