new comic book day means Absolute Power and Batman for me. And yes, I really hate Amanda Waller.

Chicken something dumplings from #HeroesFeast makes the house smell great and feeds the soul.

My best friend thinks I need some help with my interview skills. He suggests an alternate look. At this point, I’m ready to try anything. #openforwork

accuracy is +100. we're in the end game now.

the Captials are treating this draft/trade/free agency period like a buffet. getting a little bit of everything and retooling all the positions. definitely going to need a scorecard when the season begins to identify all the new players.

a lot of fun filling in as DM for our Sunday group. sure, they got railroaded into a scene, but there was a dragon at the end of that railroad, and they seemed pretty pleased with that.

I hope I didn't mess up the original DM's grand plots. maybe I gave him some things to ponder for our party. just don't use them against my character! #DnD

“Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.“

Summertime picnics are great for all kinds of food, but cold salads are probably my favorite. This recipe takes baked salmon and turns it into a tuna salad-like dish that is great for sandwiches or just straight from the bowl. #larryskitchen

my "day of joy" yesterday consisted of a sugar cookie with rainbow sprinkles, video game and kitty time, visiting a local smokehouse/butcher, more video games and kitties, talking with friends.

I'd like more of this, but being a responsible human being is getting in the way.

noticing a pattern lately. Three or four good days followed by two or three bad days. going to try to break the loop today by only doing things that bring me joy and leaving the disappointment behind. wish me luck.

Celebrating with a dog: “Woo hoo! I’m so happy you did the thing! Yay!!”

Celebrating with a cat: “Act like you’ve been there before. Your jumping around is embarrassing.”

this was a first: I got interviewed today by a virtual recruiter. I didn't even know they were a thing! not sure how my answers were recorded, but it was very excited by what I had to say.

whoever called me from Montreal, I was on another call. give me a call back if you like.

Flying to close to the sun or just close enough? 🥵 🌶️

Has anyone ever gotten a job after receiving this in a rejection letter?

"we’d like to keep your resume on file as our team continues to grow."

do recruiters really keep the resume on file and look at it when other opportunities open up? or are they just trying to let me down easy?

Crab cakes from a friend in Maryland. No cob Mexican street corn from #larryskitchen. 🦀 🌽

just remember, even Prime Evils go through a bad streak every once in a while.

got to catch a break sometime, somewhere, right?

Congrats to the Bears! An amazing run and a beautiful season! Happy 13!!
