Had a fun and profitable time at the Danville Caesars casino. Glad that we now have a poker room within a reasonable day trip distance.

Good news: The insurance claim for my heart surgery from the provider has finally been resubmitted (after nearly 3 months) and processed. Bad news: Insurance is saying they're not covering $76k of it. Remind me again how this is a 'good' system?

Usually I get a dopamine hit from donating to a good cause. This week I didn't. I think I'm really in the dumps. No great reason why, just a busted brain.

Y'all. Y'ALL. I just lost a game of Ticket to Ride. 124-76, quite a trouncing. My daughter completely blocked me out of Vancouver, deducing that I was trying to make a route there. I'm so proud, I could burst.

My wife continues to annex the room I used to work from home in/guest bedroom as an auxiliary craft room. Finally moved the guest bed downstairs to get this room made up as a guest space. Yes, we have sheets, just haven't dragged them downstairs yet. Blinds are on order, as well.

If the rumors are true and this is the last weekend for both Che & Jost on SNL, I'm thinking they should swerve hard for the next Weekend Update hosts. Instead of handing it off to 'grown ups', throw the desk at the weird GenZ kids (maybe Hernandez and Wickline?) and let them do weird GenZ shit.

The number of shipping containers that arrived at the nation’s top container port last week was roughly one-third lower than during the same period last year — a sharper decline than during the depths of the Great Recession.

I know some of you may do this anyway, but I nonetheless urge you NOT to send items like these to the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, 601 D St. NW, Washington, DC 20530. Please do NOT do that. Thank you.

Don't usually pre-order Blu-ray discs, but I was already on the site and that Sinners 4k was calling my name. That & the Jaws 50th anniversary 4k will be mine!

Thought I was shut out of the Switch 2 preorders. I had a bundle in my cart and it failed several times while trying to checkout. Went to sleep disappointed. Woke up today with a pleasant surprise: an order confirmation email. Why buy this? I like owning things that I worked on.

Picked up a comic book for The Progeny today. We bought her first comic a few weeks ago with the DC x Sonic crossover (DC and Sonic the Hedgehog). She's read that issue cover to cover multiple times. Told her I'll buy her comics if she will read them. This is the same tactic my mom took with me
