It’s weird to be brushing your teeth at night, reflecting on your day, and suddenly flash back to one of your 1991 protest chants that you hadn’t thought about in decades: β€œ1-2-3-4 we don’t want your oil war.” πŸ€”

I was on two SEPTA buses today and both times a random dude talked to the driver about how the Sixers might do in the playoffs and both conversations were on the positive side. πŸ‘

That was nuts. It was like he had no eye, just a red hole, but said, β€œI’m OK, just a minor infection.”

I have never made that heart gesture with my hands and let’s hope I never will.

I feel kind of cheated that I cross-country skied from about ages 5-18, to go along with my dad's hobby, but it never involved stopping to shoot little targets.

Thought I saw Kid Rock, but it was just a pimple on Bad Bunny's nuts and whatnot.

Night night sweet dreamies

Your feelings are only passing guests.
Some will linger, some will quietly move on.
Welcome what brings you peace, and let the rest leave without judgment.
Give yourself the time and patience healing asks for

Dan McQuade, awarding-winning writer, tireless community activist, and β€˜Philadelphia institution,’ has died at 43 Often irreverent, always inventive, he filed memorable stories about the Wildwood T-shirt scene, Wawa hoagies, the Philly accent, and other cool stuff. His stories sparkled with research and humor.

It’s heartbreaking but I also feel grateful for all the laughs and fun conversations. Damn.

Thought the city was finally plowing our S. Philly street yesterday, then was annoyed when they only did 1/4 of the street at each end. Turned out it wasn't the city but just the familiar case of Someone Knew A Guy Who Has A Bobcat. Still not plowed.

Wow, that was fun. The bite! ha!

People of Philadelphia: please do not shovel the snow into the street, especially not between cars. It should go against your house. Our car is now wedged between two snow mountains, soon to be ice mountains.

My 79-year-old mother is no fan of the president (and has never voted for him), but when I explained the events in Minnesota as β€œthey want to kill all of us” I know she didn’t believe me, but I know no clearer way of saying it.

Philly violence prevention groups say they were flourishing. Then the Trump DOJ cut their funding. One group lauding the cuts is the National Rifle Association, which commended the Trump administration in November for cutting off the β€œspigot” to anti-violence groups.

At least the war on saturated fats has ended (and saturated fats won).

I will admit this: in my household, someone will often sing β€œtootie tootie fart fart” to the tune of β€œeverybody dance now.” That someone is me.
