Got to shake John Adams’s hand again and chat a bit about his music, only this time I did say [redacted] and it was embarrassing and I forgot the things I meant to ask or say.

Can you imagine being a Northerner at the start of the civil war. All the fancy lad West Point military guys are Southerners. Your president is a backwoods yokel one term congressman and your generals are some guys we found at a 7-Eleven. It's over for our ass...unless all those guys are geniuses

I certainly never seek that info out. But the preview of it, just a couple sentences, came up when I searched for my name.

“Adm. Brad Cooper, who oversees U.S. operations in the Middle East, insisted in a statement posted on social media in August that “the Lincoln currently has among the lowest number of cases related to mental health” among the Navy’s 11 active aircraft carriers.” Not the defense they think it is.

The dog jumped on the couch to sniff John’s face. John gently cupped her head with his hands, saying, “My mind to your mind. My thoughts to your thoughts.”

It’s uncharacteristically humid and the elevator at work is broken. I’m melting into a puddle so someone please just mop me into a bucket and carry me around for today.

The Onion’s Exclusive Interview With Robert Pattinson theonion.com/the-onions-exclusive-i…
The Onion : What creative liberties did you take with the role of Chris Hansen?

Pattinson: Instead of “Why don’t you take a seat?” I say “By the stars that glow and the moon’s silken light, my powers now activate, pedophiles take flight!”

Shook hands with John Adams (composer) last night and managed not to say or do anything embarrassing. So that’s a win.

Interesting to note that there’s WAY more dog-themed merchandise in the 9/11 memorial & museum gift shop than there was in 2023.

I haven’t seen them in CO but our town is relatively small so 🤷‍♀️ We also don’t have Kroger yet, just things owned by Kroger and then Safeway.
