Twenty-eight years ago today.

Twenty-five years. I don't think these two kids would believe where life has taken them. The next 25 should be very interesting. I love you, Kelly. Happy silver anniversary, sweetheart!

On @BookstoreThor’s recommendation, I listened to @VerbalDiorama’s episode on Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. If anyone can make the objectification of Jude Law sound utterly adorable, it’s her. Must be the accent. 😉

Also, her episode on Dredd is spot on.

There’s a new episode of The Empowered Parent Podcast out! We interview foster and adoptive parent Jillana Goble about her work helping foster kids in Oregon, and her book No Sugar Coating: The Coffee Talk You Need About Foster Parenting.



You have never heard Black Sabbath’s “Changes” the way Charles Bradley performs it. Stunning and heartbreaking.

What do you get when you mashup Danzig and The Temptations? Yes, I said Danzig and The Temptations. You get “Mother Was a Rolling Stone.”

In case anyone needs a break from all the bad news, I saw baby ducks on my walk today.



Shout out to the @EmilyBestler/@AtriaBooks/@simonschuster staffer who hand-addressed my and who knows how many other envelopes for the sweet @JackCarrUSA patch.

Alright, time to bid farewell to the Pritchett clan. I’m watching the series finale of Modern Family.

“Before Covid-19, some of us had so many material and social needs met that we didn’t even know we needed them. More importantly, we didn’t know how much we were using all our stuff and experience to make up for the vacuity in our souls that has needed to be filled with love for longer than we knew, but that we have instead laden with other merchandise, material and otherwise.”
