Coffee at Bob’s Big Boy with David Lynch. At least, I feel like he’s here.

After months of renovations on the house, two GotJunk? truckloads, a massive storage unit, and some well-placed buys and sale finds… I’m hosting Thanksgiving at my house tomorrow. I’m actually looking forward to this holiday season more than I have in decades.
A newly-decorated living room, featuring an LED neon over the hearth that reads “Now, here’s a little story I’ve got to tell…”, a decorated Christmas tree, and a sectional couch. If you saw the living room from a year ago, you’d doubt it’s the same house. Tomorrow will be the first real action this dining room has seen in over a decade.

This may be the best photo op pic I’ve ever been a part of.

What song is this Fab Four singing at karaoke night?
Former Dallas Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson takes the mic during his halftime induction to the Cowboys Ring Of Honor, surrounded by fellow Hall Of Fame players Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin and Emmitt Smith. Johnson is screaming into a wireless mic. It looks like he’s belting out a verse.

I have not cared this little about the NFL as I do this year. Finally has released its grip on my sports psyche. Meanwhile: CAN THE DAMNED ALCS GM 1 START ALREADY PLEASE
As Jimmy Dugan, Tom Hanks is really stressed out about tonight’s opener between the Rangers and Astros.

Playoff baseball, y’all. Let’s do the thing.
Globe Life Field on Game Three of the American League Divisional Series. Since there’s no hashtags, I’ll say LET’S GO RANGERS here.

I haven’t lived in a suburban neighborhood since I was a teenager, and never realized the pure joy of Bulk Trash Pickup until now. I was certain I was going to have to whittle this mountain down one filled bin a week.
46 trash bags and one filled garbage bin, on the curb at my house. I’ve been told that “pickers” like to come by overnight to scavenge schtuff - when they hit the food that’s been expired for a decade, they’ll not be pleased.

Starting the third week in my late dad’s house. Haven’t closed my windows yet since the rainstorm in Ft Worth Friday night. Brubeck & Getz are the soundtrack as I do more purging on the house - working on the living room and office. Got through three cabinets yesterday.
A large curio shelf, piled high with … stuff. Costume jewelry, junk mail, candles, receipts, readers, tchotchkes. I don’t know why this shelf is a priority for me - likely because I see it every day.

… except:
At least one line is cut off, between the preview and the expanded text. Of course, that’s the most insightful line of the whole block.

I want to hold a seance, or Ouija board session. Whatever has the best option for contact. In that session, we would establish communication with my dead father. And the ***only*** question I want to ask is HOW MANY BOTTLES OF SYRUP DID YOU FUCKING NEED, POP?
Over three dozen bottles of pancake syrup, all between 5 - 20 years old, in a pantry I’m cleaning out at my late father’s house.

So, this is me. This is where the next phase of my life begins. I have no road map, no enemy to vanquish, no way to truly stave off what’s coming. Just have to face it with authenticity.

September is, apparently, #SexualHealthAwareness Month. Please take every opportunity to educate your partner in WHAT GETS YOU OFF. That conversation will always wind up helping in the long run. #StopSlutShaming #GetYerRocksOff #MakeYourOwnBliss

If you’re concerned that you’ll miss Twitter / X, please allow me to show you the Very Last Tweet You’ll Ever Need To Read.
From Alan Cerny (@AlanWCerny) to •@elonmusk: 

“Flying ribbons of clown ejaculate have more grace than you. You are the diarrhetic explosion of a hemorrhoid-ridden rhinoceros. You are why there is chlamydia in monkeys. Your kid hates you, and is justified in doing so. Understand this. Know it. Feel it. And fuck you.”

Not only did Greywick Lane release a scent that I absolutely love, they’re selling 16oz candles now. Found their Etsy site through the LAST DRIVE-IN community, and have never been happier with a blind purchase. www.etsy.com/shop/GreywickLane

BABYLON 5: THE ROAD HOME. With so many cast members who have passed “beyond the rim,” can it have the same magic? It can, and it does. Not only does it tell a solid story, it fills in a couple of gaps with the overarching saga in a REALLY satisfying way. I loved it. Pretty sure you will as well.
