Volcanic Lightning is the name of my next metal band.

Going to give this a try and see if I prefer it over Things Dark as my nighttime theme. twitter.com/chris_law…
The book that introduced John Milton to the world is currently on sale for just a buck. If you love thrillers and haven’t read Mark Dawson’s stuff, now is a great time to try it out. www.amazon.com/dp/B00DUF…
What an incredible time last night at @TheDollyrots show. Huge shout out to Kelly, Luis, & @RikkiStyxx for making it an unforgettable night for my “niece” Tori. Rikki’s dad adopted Tori for the night, took her “backstage,” such as it is at Three Links, and she got to talk to all three in the band.
The show was joyous fun on top of all that.
Fifteen-minute afternoon break. Need a protein pick-me-up.
Hey, greek yogurt. Perfect. Only have vanilla. No problem, drop some honey in, good to go.
No honey.
Trader Joe’s chocolate syrup made a very reasonable substitute…
Thanks to the Internet, I’ve updated Stryper’s The Yellow and Black Attack and To Hell With the Devil albums with their original artwork in my iTunes library. Not sure why I waited so long.

Speaking of The Empowered Parent Podcast, there is a new episode out, and we’re talking about connection over consequences. All parents will want to listen to this one! empoweredparent.podbean.com/e/consequ…
Proving once again what an excellent executive producer he is, to celebrate 125 episodes of The Empowered Parent Podcast, @Ryan_North dropped off a piece of new equipment.
Like all great producers, he keeps the talent happy.
“Locals have asked Amazon to please ‘pick this thing up and bring it back to the warehouse’ as no one really wants it around or knows what to do with it.” 🤣 babylonbee.com/news/spac…
Apparently three tiny screws have just been falling out of the bottom of my 2015 MacBook Pro. Which sits on my desk, or rides in a backpack to some place where it then sits on a desk or table. So this is a mystery to me…
Maybe vibrations from the other equipment it shares a desk with?
Speaking of Gabriel Allon, how fortuitous that the day after I finish @NickPetrie’s latest, @danielsilvabook’s arrives.
“Picasso painting discovered in a Maine closet after 50 years”

Nine years after I purchased my first noise-canceling headphones, a pair of refurbished Bose QuietComfort 15s, I’ve stepped up to wireless ANCs with these Sennheiser PXC-550-II cans.
First tracks played: Stryper’s “To Hell With the Devil” and Whitecross' “Who Will You Follow.”
Speaking of Hollywood’s empty ideas, I see they’re going to ruin the absolute best character from the G.I. Joe comics with this stupid Snake Eyes origin movie.
And I say that as someone who likes Henry Golding as an actor. He was fantastic in The Gentlemen.
They’re rebooting Sex & the City. Just when I think Hollywood can’t be any more empty of ideas, they manage to surprise me.
