🎧 #JamOfTheDay Draggin' The Line by Tommy James the Shondells (1971) - A toe tapper and arguably one hit wonder, it was also released twice, originally as a B-Side and then re-worked to have the extra horns and vocals on the second release as an A-side. open.spotify.com/track/22QMzo...

🎮 #gaming Some games do not make any attempt at anything other than a good time. 'Tactical Breach Wizards' is absolutely such a game. Snappy banter, fun game mechanics, no X-Com math.

🎧 #Music How to Pick a Fight: If all the below is the defining characteristics of 'Yacht Rock' as a genre (which I enjoy un-ironically) - Then I posit the following: The Grateful Dead are a Yacht Rock band with west coast sound. *cackles maniacally^

🌱#gardening My spring pre-orders have begun to arrive. 4lbs of clover seed! It may be a frozen brown mess right now but in 3 months it'll be a beautiful green spot to run my toes through (and fix nitrogen into the soil).

#Investments Bobble Heads on Yahoo Finance wailing about Nvidia - gee whiz you only talk about tech stocks for a decade are shocked when people get screwed for ONLY buying tech stocks. Meanwhile, over here in diversification land - I just had a stellar day in ye olde IRA.

Its a fascinating exercise watching the boomers leave the job market and management doing complicated algebra to hang onto to the people they need but at the same time desperately try to maintain a status qou of control that isn't realistic anymore.

🐈 #cat The absolute expression of betrayal upon realizing this was not a spa day for the nails nor was it another trip to the college to spend the day with the students, but rather the vets office. Congrats on 6 months and 6 lbs Chili, we ensure you never have kittens today!

#IT #Rant 💻 As a support person, I wish HR would seriously treat people who hoard shoes under their desk like a problem. I don't want to go under a desk to trace a cable and get a face full of stylish pump funk. It's an office. Not a closet. It is gross.
