My sweet, beloved dog Figment will bark herself into a murderous frenzy if she sees another dog on television. In other news, I am ready for Puppy Bowl coverage to be OVER

After several mild NJ winters, we are entering a 2-week period that will include 3 storms, and some estimates for total accumulation exceed 3 FEET in the tri-state area. I kinda look forward to it—we need the snow and I LIKE snow—but dayam, Mother Nature, you gotta save it all up like that?

Having lost my gloves (as one does) I broke down and ordered new ones. Because I have learned how the universe works, I then immediately walked upstairs, checked the back of my office door where a forgotten hoodie was hanging, whose pockets contained my missing gloves. This is as it should be.

Sharing this because I worked with Gabe Gundacker on Cartoon President for 3 years, and it's wonderful to see one of his viral moments repurposed as a meme by @pattonoswalt.bsky.social

Here's the Youtube link to our annual Holiday special! I can't believe we've done 7 of these (10 if you count Easter and election specials).

It's a "big movie" weekend... seeing "Moana 2" tonight at our favorite Dolby theater, then tomorrow afternoon I'm going to a screening of "Empire Strikes Back" hosted by Frank Oz... that will be super fun!

Hosting Thanksgiving is a lot of work but it's a wonderful excuse to catch up with a few old friends we don't get to see often enough.

My favorite form of self-medicating is listening to video-game podcasts. I'm an OLD gamer—enthusiastically mashing buttons since the original Magnavox Odyssey in the 70s—and I love passing the time with the folks at @dlchypetrain.bsky.social, @giantbomb.bsky.social , and @nextlander.bsky.social.

I'm a big fan of the "Twinkly" brand of programmable holiday lights—full-color RGB patterns are controlled via an iPhone app. We keep the porch lights up all year and program different colors for different holidays. We even keep a string up in our living room for some mood lighting during TV time.
