I’m told I’m too hard on myself re my kitchen abilities. Wife says I should trust them more. Sorry, but overthinking comes with this base model. Anyway, garlic sourdough grilled cheese & tomato soup sounded good. It was 😋 and I’m practicing being easier on myself

When spouse is out for book club I do solo cooking club. Tonight I wish you could smell my kitchen. Made a shallot/garlic cream sauce with linguine and chicken. Threw in some rinds from our parmigiano reggiano haul from Bologna while warming the cream. I regret nothing.

After visiting in August I feel confident Tilamook will be just fine. They sell a three hand packed ice cream flight that looks to be a half-gallon for $9. Ding Dong Rage of the Day won’t last on this place. It’s too good 😋

It’s a horror movie where trees finally take their revenge with what they have at their disposal. Just started shooting today. Coming to Amazon Prime tomorrow.

Our friends have a son at a music magnet school (Interlochan) and were looking at flying up instead of driving. I’d mentioned the tix to see our boys were like 🖕you high right now. He sent me prices from Chicago to Traverse City and those flights are as much as the ones to VA. Great again yet?

No cheating. Share your last photo of the sky from your camera roll.
6am XC practices offers some solid sunrise pic opportunities.

The Wee Lad’s gf is a soph on honors track at Pitt and always applying to do cool shit. Love it when she puts me down as a reference because I get to get to say awesome honest stuff about her like this. (She’s batting 1.000 on apps she’s listed me on. Could be just superstition at this point.)

During the #LLWS rain delay please enjoy these pics of the good guys from D-Port! Our friend’s kid is #2 if you’re tuning in to help cheer them on. Up 2-0 right now and Big Bopper A. Johnson, Jr is looking sharp on the bump and dangerous at the plate. Thissen is a beast!
