Hemmingway once said, "The world is a fine place and worth fighting for." I believe in the second part.

While walking the dog & listening to "Without a Face" by Rage Against the Machine I noticed Apple Music had this on its main landing page. Nice to see it recognizes fellow socially progressive artists & thinks I would be interested in that algorithm.

At the Regal Lloyd Center to watch "The Odyssey" again (this time in IMAX instead of 70mm @ the Hollywood Theater) and the person checking tickets was reading Art Spiegelman's "Maus." I think the kids will be a'ight.

When you are out of creamer or any other milk in the refrigerator, you sometimes start having intrusive thoughts. Like "Maybe Will Levis may be onto something with his 'mayonnaise in coffee' gimmick." Verdict: Will Levis is an idiot.

On my way to the kitchen this morning I glanced over at my Xfinity touchscreen. Had to do a double take when I saw the weather as that icon is usually used to denote "fog". That's… bad, right?

THE thing that took me completely out of my enjoyment of "The Odyssey": ❌ Casting choices ❌ Inaccuracies in props/equipment/costumes ❌ Story ❌ Length ✅ Telemachus referring to Penelope & Odysseus as "Mom" & "Dad."

After a hike with @lesmcclaine.com I stopped at Starbucks and there's a new person taking orders. My beverage is taking longer than normal but they did make an extra sandwich that they gave to me free of charge so the universe balances itself out.

While taking a walk after lunch I came upon what looks like the contents of a birthday party strewn alongside the sidewalk. I'm sure there's some significance seeing it on Independence Day.

Back in the United States, much to the chagrin of some of you dorks. I do appreciate how the Customs & Immigration wing of the Daniel K. Inouye airport still captures the Brutalist architecture aesthetic seen back in Washington, DC.

Figured the best way to commemorate the passing of boxing great George Foreman is to make a grilled cheese sandwich. #thisiswhyyourefat

RIP to a real one. Funny enough George Foreman is probably best remembered for these tabletop grills instead of being a heavyweight boxing champion. Many a steak, chicken breast, burger, and even grilled cheese sandwiches were mangled in this during my college years.
