I miss being able to read the news without fear. I also miss short-sleeved t-shirts over long-sleeved t-shirts. Nice dad look, very comfy

I met my wife through Twitter so I'm excited to see who I meet through this app. A second wife? Somebody else's wife? The possible wives are endless.

my advice to young writers? if you buy coffee in brick packaging it can be tough to open, easy to spill, and difficult to reseal. the trick is to buy a can of coffee first, and when it runs out, reuse that can as a place to pour bricks of coffee in. i’m sorry, what was the question
