Part
of me wants to Friend every person in New England with a variant of my
last name. For all I know, we're related. Does anyone in the family know
how to spell our last name? Because it looks like we're all just
winging it. At least we're all capitalizing the P, I guess.👈

Good morning. Last night I ate a really delicious pear. I woke up thinking about it. I found a digital (iPad) drawing of a pear I did from 2017. This is not my only drawing of a pear. Pears are important, dude. Get yourself a pear today.🍐
Happy Father's Day to all the cool dads out there. It's been such an honor to watch your kids grow up through pictures and posts. Good job, guys. I like to share this 2012 blog entry titled "Any Other Sunday: On Fathers."
You guys, I found the prettiest desk chair on Facebook Marketplace. It was a 3-minute Uber ride away. We picked it up last night. It's perfect, I love it so much.🥰 The only problem with having been hunting for a new chair online is the dreaded avalanche of ads for chairs I'm getting and will get until the end of time. I'm telling you, retargeting has to be the dumbest martech (marketing technology) they ever came up with, and I am ov…
...I embrace new tech. It's just that I can sniff out the SHADY or SOON TO BE OBSOLETE new tech. My whole career was in cutting edge tech. Shit, I worked for Wellfleet/Bay Networks/Nortel--we were one of three that helped construct the cloud. I worked for Trip Advisor back when we were writing blurbs about the landmark attractions and seeding the website with user reviews, ya know, just to get it rolling. I helped start EditShare when it was…
Joe just came into the bedroom where I was sitting in front of my laptop. He said “What’s wrong?” Nuthin’. Just watched Stevie Wonder play at Obama’s Presidential Center opening. I just love the Obama family. And Stevie killed it! I love him so much. I ugly cried. Then Joe moved some furniture around in the bedroom so that my desk is in front of the window. It was one of the projects on the list. We live at the top of a big hill now, and out th…
Funny story. When I was in maybe 7th grade I was a member of Rick Springfield’s fan club. I got a letter “from Rick.” The penmanship of the letter was so cool that I spent actual time studying it, and it became “my” writing forever after that. I don’t know, I just liked the way the e and a looked. That was a long time ago. Rick looks great, though! 76. There's some debate about whether or not he had more work done than the facelift (at 24?!)…
Don't forget this. Charlottesville. This happened in 2017. It was horrifying. Look at these faces. They literally want to kill my friends. I wrote about it in an essay called "Say No To Every Nazi."
It begins:
"Right now in Trump's America, there are Nazi-like mobs marching for their right to rid America of "defectives" and "take back their country." They wear no hoods or cloaks. They fly Confederat…
“Every Trump voter is certainly not a white supremacist, just as every white person in the Jim Crow South was not a white supremacist. But every Trump voter felt it was acceptable to hand the fate of the country over to one.” —Ta-Nehisi Coates I still think about Amy, the woman I Unfriended over his first bout with Democracy ten years ago. She was a friend from Diaryland , back when the blogosphere was a relatively small community. In response to …
Good
morning. I found this “going out top” on Facebook Marketplace. Can I just say?
At no point in my adult life would this thing ever have fit me. God
bless the woman who could “go out” in this top. Where you going in this,
girlfriend?🤣
I share the playlist "Hot Horny Amateurs" every summer. It's a great one for listening to when it's hot out. Because I made it when it was hot out.

Earlier
this afternoon I was watching The Mentalist on Hulu, and Patrick said
to another character, “See you in the funny papers.” I nearly gasped.
Terence Burke used to say that. Thing is, today’s heat and humidity had
me thinking about Terence. “He would love this,” I thought. He really
liked weather like this, it was cray cray. But to be thinking about
Terence and then suddenly hear his favorite way to say “good bye”? See
you in the fu…
