I always get the details wrong bc this is my oldest's Roman Empire, not mine. It was a Winnie The Pooh figure at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim. There could be a hotel potted plant as well, since he was fond of "ritual territorial marking" - I wish I made that up...

I really am not interested in the Matt Gaetz Game this holiday season
A NY Times The Morning notice on an iPhone that says “Games to play during the holidays. Matt Gaetz. Where to expect a snowy Christmas.”

Decided to make a southern treat for Christmas. New Orleans pralines. But because I’m from Texas, I think of them as Texan.

I was always impressed/mystified by the Montana state flag, which looked like a Boy Scout Merit Badge. "I achieved Montana."

Today is one of those days I set my watch face to solar tracker so that I can remind myself that the sun is really there. It just doesn’t shine for long periods of fall, winter, and spring in the ‘Zoo.

I too own a Mondrian, but it's a dry erase board I bought at the High Museum gift shop in Atlanta. www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

I'm completely obsessed with this Lifetime Movie. Like literally unable to process other thoughts when I saw the advert.

I really want to talk to someone who eats a full serving of TJ’s chocolate covered espresso beans. But I don’t want to talk to you right after you’ve done it.
