Our cat likes to “hunt” at around 3AM. Every morning there is a collection of his prey (toys) that he brings upstairs and leaves on and around the bed. At some point he will also loudly announce his arrival with his kills. It would be cute if it wasn’t 3 AM on a Monday night!

I had a friend in school who did this. Really nice guy, but he would constantly say your name while having a regular conversation. It was always unnerving and distracting.

What bothers me is people who use your name constantly in conversation. “Mosspiglet, I saw this movie last night. Yeah, Mosspiglet, it was really good.”

Yeah, all the faction wars stuff got confusing at times, lots of characters and moving pieces. I just started book 8 today. Donut is badass right out of the gate. Looks like I’m not going to get much done this week!

It’s a staff bathroom in a hospital. Baffling design choice.

And you can drop off the kids any time

Her back is probably fucked

Alabama voted in Doug Jones, likely a fluke that we won’t be able to repeat, but there is a very thin sliver of hope.

My kid has “tech class”, where I (wrongly) assumed they would learn about computers and the internet, how they work and how to use them. Nope, they just learned how to use Microsoft Teams.

some great books:

Nonfiction -

• Sailing a serious ocean by John Kretschmer (or any other Kretschmer books, he’s a great storyteller)
• The Long Way by Bernard Moitessier
• Maiden Voyage by Tania Aebi

As far as fiction, not really a “sailing” novel, but Moby Dick is a favorite of mine.

Great Lakes? It’s always sailing season down here on the Gulf coast 😎

Ok, that makes sense. I was thinking you went Mississippi all the way to the Gulf. You step your mast in Mobile?

Not if you are chartering in the BVI. They’ll pretty much give anybody (with valid credit card) a boat down there!

How did you decide on the Mississippi route? I know a lot of people do the Tennessee-Tombigbee.

Do Hot Girls Like Chords? by Knower

Yes. Sort of Prog/Funk/Jazz. Mind blowing musicianship.

My laptop ca. 2004

Birthday Boy also is great (and referenced in Baby Bitch)

Was just listening to Spirit World Field Guide this morning. Great album.
