K: "I threw away the bread today because it had mold on it."
...
the bread that I ate this morning....
My former boss chimes in: "I was very impressed with Larry's ability to juggle multiple competing stakeholders and priorities without ever losing sight of what the right thing to do for our customers was. He's diligent, solution-oriented, and a pleasure to work with day-to-day."
Let's talk about how I can put these skills to work for your team!
well, there goes my Animal Crossing New Leaf island... that I haven't visited in years. but it was still mine.

seems an odd way to start the day, but I'm reading through a list of 20 best burgers in Seattle, thinking of it as a checklist, and now hungry for burgers this morning. the things I do to distract my brain.

trying out rogue for Diablo 4 Season 3. my first try with a non-magic-user, but I'm seeing if I can at least get close to the demon hunter class I enjoyed in D3.
As comfort foods go, spaghetti and meatballs is about as quintessential as you can get. Hearty meatballs in a sauce that has been cooking for most of the day provides a feeling of home and hearth. But me being me, what if I boost the sauce into something a little more daring to go with those wonderful meatballs? #larryskitchen

New comic book day is the best day. Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong, Titans: Beast World, Batman: The Brave and The Bold, Flash, Beast World Tour: Star City. so many storylines. oh, and Amanda Waller is terrible. there. I said it.
Weirdness. Been having the desire to eat all the things but it only lasts 2 days. Then I have no desire to eat anything for the next 3-4 days. The cycle repeats. Not normal for sure.
"The company announced it would be “sunsetting” Riot Forge, its publishing arm working with external studios to develop smaller-scale games from Riot’s intellectual property."
Riot Games to lay off 530 workers amid broader gaming industry cuts. This just truly stinks for everyone involved. Well, maybe not everyone involved....
it is funny how the subject of spam emails seems to come in waves. right now, I'm on kitchen supplies, Peacock membership, and canvas prints. Nothing about my car warranty though.
our Sunday night D&D party is coming up with a bunch of conspiracy theories about the NPCs surrounding a village. we are WAY too creative for our own good, but we'll see how many the DM actually uses - or comes up with something completely different.
Eggs are so versatile and delicious that I try to find as many different ways as possible to use them. A quiche gives that pie feeling but for dinner. The three different cheeses lend a different layer of flavor on top and within the eggs and veggies nestled in a golden-brown crust. #larryskitchen
sitting in the shower this morning, enjoying the hot water raining down on me, thinking how great it would be to be enveloped by the water, then realizing I just invented baths. :)
last night's dream involved me working at an event in a museum run by Willy Wonka. but he was nervous about the event, so I spent my time talking with him about the exhibits and calming him down as everyone else was preparing for the people.
no idea what all of that means.
starting the weekend off with a Black Forest martini. because it has been a month this week.
I love prosciutto because a little goes a long way, and I love how mozzarella gets all gooey when it melts. Bring them together inside a chicken breast with a little pesto on top, and this dish is bursting with flavor. #larryskitchen

that's just terrible news for SI. so much great quality came from those reporters, writers, photographers. I'm afraid if it continues, it will be content from AI, which devalues everyone, including the readers.
Sports Illustrated to lay off most staff, putting future in jeopardy after nearly 70 years

over the past several weeks, I have been honored by and appreciative of all the support I've received from friends, colleagues, and people I've never known before now. I've tried to say thank you to as many as I can, but if I haven't said it lately, thank you. learning a lot from all of you, including know my value/worth, which is something I didn't consider before but do now.
