I love that rest is more restful when we've worked well. And work is more fulfilling when we've rested well.

Calvin and Hobbes ended twenty-nine years ago today. My dad was a big fan, so I snipped this comic out of the newspaper and gave it to him framed for his birthday.

I’m not even going to expect much from people this New Year’s Eve because every year they drop the ball

My true love is extremely generous but I hope this is the last day of gifts. It's two days after Christmas and we already have so much poultry.

Watching Lord of the Rings this time, I noticed Isengard only has one entrance. The other tower has more door.

Yeah our whole family is visiting for Christmas and we have everything we could ever need but I'm really mad because I thought my boss would buy me a pool.

So extremely upset. Sent my uncle to the bank and he somehow lost all the cash. I wish I'd never been born!

My accountant wants the whole day off tomorrow. Unbelievable.

This year for Christmas I'll give my heart to someone special. You would not friggin believe what happened last Christmas.

I got Cinnamon Toast Crunch on sale so yeah, I think I'm gonna have a Merry Christmas thank you very much

If you like J.R.R. Tolkien or C.S. Lewis, you'll find a great friend in reading George MacDonald as they did! Rarely have I encountered a soul so deep in modern literature, and consider him a mentor to me.

Can't wait for Christmas! Every year we celebrate: 🎁 Elves with gifts 🦢 Golden rings 🎅🏻 An old wise man 🫂 Friendship 🌟 The rightful king by watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy. 🧝🏻‍♀️🍃🌋🧙🏼‍♂️🏹🗡️👑

Did Mary and Joseph go to Bethlehem for Christmas?

Hey brainless, don't you know where coconuts come from? You didn't know they come from Tahiti? Boy, you're stupid. Sucks to be the guy who ends up with you. #ItsaWonderfulLife

Hey George, would you do me a favor? Would you dance with my kid sister Mary? She's got nothing else going on for her. George, please? Just pretend she's worth your attention for a moment. #ItsaWonderfulLife

Never leaving my life of Cin

I'm at the point in a fictional movie about Charles Dickens' writers block where, after he writes about the ghosts of Christmas past and present, he dejectedly says, "...and that's all I have."

Why do I hate to write before I do it but love it while I do it?

I love that the #Bluesky desktop and app user interface mimics Twitter's. It's like we're getting a second chance to do it right.

Oh no I drank four cups of coffee today and need to be awake in seven hours

The heavenly messengers didn't go to the bright lights of national news media, but to shepherds watching over their flocks by night. #Advent

"Silence is not absence. It is a mode of presence uncluttered by the idolatry of interpretation." - John Crowder

When we shed the skin of a worldview that no longer works for us, it's so tempting to define ourselves by the skin we shed rather than enjoy living in the new skin we've grown!

Do you like looking up at the stars at night? 🌌 As you do, you may enjoy listening to this book on the cosmos, written for laypeople like us. It'll complement your wonder for space with its vastness and mystery. #100books1year

And here I thought rainy seasons in Portland were long
