And you may ask yourself, “Well, how did I get here?” Just a girldad & husband working in public health. Love a good musical, Boston sports, progressive politics, classic film, etymological tidbits, new wave music, & obsolete technology. Also pretty gay.
I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

A nearby town had a free concert tonight put on by the community band. We took the girls and it was just a lovely reminder of how wonderful community and parenthood can be.
Madonna has earned her status as one of the most influential and important figures in pop music. But she’s never made an album as good as She’s So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper. Both pop icons’ solo debuts landed in 1983.

Me: Fumbling a line or two from Under the Sea from memory. One of our 2-year-olds: “The crab song is hard. Keep practicing. You get it.” Me: 😑💀
The AI overlords can pry the em dash from my cold dead hands—I’m not giving it up!

Beating LA is almost as sweet as beating the Yankees
The first time I saw Hello, Dolly! was with Betty Buckley. That meant a lot to me.
“Britney Spears, Blackout, and the Birth of Poptimism” Fasten your seatbelts. It’s going to be a bumpy sermon.
ETX Gov@etxgov.myatproto.social · last wk.You've got a captive audience on a plane, and you know they can't open the doors and yeet you out. What subject are you gonna do a 30 minute sermon on?
For those who are wondering why Dr. Fauci would take the Fifth: The regime has tried to prosecute Comey and others on trumped up perjury charges for testimony before Congress. Fauci is simply determined not to take the bait.
Had set aside some time to listen to some new music and find myself here again
I'm of that specific micro generation of millennials who remembers and appreciates Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, but whose true devotion lies with Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego.
Why snack in silence when you could Eat to the Beat?
Imagining a world where every cast recording you could ever hope for exists. Currently enjoying: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue (OBC) She Loves Me (1993 Cast w/Judy Kuhn) Follies (Complete OBC) Dreamgirls (Complete OBC) Shuffle Along (2016 Cast) Sweeney Todd (OLC) Candide (OLC) Phantom (OBC w/US cast)

“I don’t think she was a very nice lady.” My mom when in 3rd grade I asked what they were talking about in “And the Money Kept Rolling In (And Out).”
Some of you weren’t raised by PBS, and it shows.
Bachelor dandies, drinkers of brandies — What do I know of those?
And I’ve been listening to Connie Francis ever since
Video quality isn’t great, but the beauty shines through. Happy birthday, Linda!
