Smoke Gummies

Thinking of taking my soon to be 8 year old to see Dave Matthews Band in Providence (arena is 3 miles from home). He’s not quite Biscuits ready. DMB was my first big show with Santana and The Roots opening at Vet Stadium.

I find it really funny the GOP nominee for Governor of Rhode Island only has $7,000 on hand and just flew to Florida to be at a fundraiser with Eric Trump, Lara Trump, and Byron Donalds and none of the headliners (Eric, Lara, Byron) showed up.

Sometimes theres like a “no signal” or “stand by” mode thing where it cycles through images of cities and places around the world. I always get excited seeing this one as it’s Lake Bled in Slovenia where we visited on honeymoon. Then I see the tiny castle up the cliff & remember the horrible walk up

Checking out at grocery store yesterday, clerk saw diapers in my cart & asked me my kids ages. I told her & she proceeded to tell me her kids and how she has one that would have been turning 38 this year. Served Afghanistan and never came back the same. Gut wrenchingly sad.

One of the funniest and weirdest interviews I ever conducted was over Zoom. I was hiring a new employee. Guy was sitting in a dark not well lit corner but you could see he’s there and he decides to impress me he’d light a joint. Yes it was cannabis industry but no that’s still not appropriate.

Still riding that crushing an interview high. Seems corny but I always like to send paperless post “thank you”s to folks who interview me. Most folks seem to not send cover letters these days but hardly anyone sends a thank you. Do yourself a favor & thank them. Stand out send both!

48 hours into solo dad week and everyone is still alive and there hasn’t been too many tears. 8 year old getting jealous of 2 year olds attention so when 2 year old naps, 8 year old and I go “tubbing” (go in hot tub at safe kid levels). Also played video games together on a non-video game day.

Phish Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall Atlantic City, NJ October 4, 2026 The Squirming Coil outro: the moment when Page walked over to play the famous pipe organ - the largest and loudest instrument on earth - not played publicly in almost a century ... moving Page to tears. Gorgeous stuff #phish #weeping

Someone reached out to me today to be a Portfolio Brand Manager for a cannabis company. Fingers crossed. As fun as unemployment has been, it would be nice to get stressed out being employed again. My wife has commented how remarkably calm I’ve been since not working. Let’s get spicy again.

Cheap healthy meal prep. I made 12 jars of chia pudding. It’s chia seeds, unsweetened coconut milk, some vanilla extract, maple syrup, pinch of salt. Top with fruit of your choice (I do strawberry and blueberry). It’s super healthy and filling.
