Me: I think I'll make spaghetti and meatballs for dinner tonight. I don't remember the last time I did that.

K: Never. Because you always try to make fancy meatballs, and that doesn't work with spaghetti.

... fair.

how I want to start my day. how it usually starts.

First time for competitive hockey since the catastrophic neck injury 4 years ago. So much rust to knock off, but it felt great to be back. Space Goats rule!! 🏒

picked up by the Space Goats for this season of pond ice hockey. I'm wondering for the logo whether Earth goats went to space (and wearing a space helmet) or a celestial being resembling a goat.

trying to establish a sense of normalcy with my unexpected free time. breaking my days into hour segments to focus on job search, my health, those around me, and chatting/talking with actual people. and yes, too much time without focus is bad for me. I'm just wired that way.

When will I stop having pronoun issues when talking about my former gig? We/They. Us/Them.

Seven: "We just can’t hide all the bodies. There’s too freaking many of them. Maybe we could set them up like Weekend at Bernie’s at the tables."

I often wonder how many politicians could pass the current U.S. citizenship test and a 10 grade U.S. history test. I mean, if you want the job, you should know the material, right?

Taco pizza is one of those dishes that sound like a mess but tastes so great. They are a great canvas to load up as much or as little as you want – much like a taco but without the good stuff falling out the other side. #larryskitchen

New home computer set up - adding a third monitor. Pay no attention to the cord mass under the desk. That’s for another day.

I left the linen closet door open. I do not necessarily regret the error. #TornadoTwins

a friend asked me how I was today in this new year. I said I was not without cautious optimism, but that I am my own arch enemy.

who needs villains when I'm right there?

I wanted to make a glaze for chicken, but it turned out more like a Spicy Red Onion sauce. No matter. I also used it on my scrambled eggs the next morning. Yep, it is that good. #larryskitchen

The traditional year ending/beginning jambalaya. Aged for a day to let the flavors really deepen. Add a generous hit of Tabasco Habanero hot sauce for kick. 🔥

Getting a Jurassic Park vibe in these woods. If I hear heavy footfalls, I’m becoming invisible. 🦖

Yes, I know I forgot a word (awesome WAY to) but I wanted to get one while they were still warm.

I don’t know how your 2024 is starting, but homemade breakfast buns are an awesome to get the year trending in the right direction.

Hello, 2024. Roll initiative.

Happy New Year!!

To all my friends not on the West Coast, how is the future?
