Yes, it's true.  I'm putting it to a vote.  Do I delete or keep my linkedin profile?  Its fate rests in your hands! https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1535686815105130499 Seriously, just say you don't want to hang out instead of coming up with lame dietary excuses. Guess who's making plum wine? Apparently, we have to wait three months to drink…

Akemi had a hankering for pasta so, today, we ended up making the trek to Famiglia Baldassarre for lunch.  Our timing was off and we ended up arriving a half hour before open - which was just as well since a line had already started to form.  So we killed time chatting with the couple…

And by unusual, I mean unusual to me at the time they were first sampled.  Today, I don't find most of them unusual at all. Well.  Most of them. 10) Beef Tendon This one was an usual one for me to wrap my head around at first.  No meat.  Just the tendon?  I'll have to…

Discovering a new snack... https://www.youtube.com/shorts/nHPEpj0BAhw Discovering a variation on a new snack... https://www.youtube.com/shorts/3kcgFR0QNZ0 Today's Yes/No... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1532716394118258688 I mean - come on.  Why is there a "G" in G-Idle if you're not even going to acknowledge it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBidtmE4mDM&t=158s

Today's zoom call about that video game feature adaptation went well.  I've got 2-3 weeks to come up with a killer take that will blow their socks off.  I could probably do it in 1, but I don't want to seem overly eager.  There's a lot of world and a lot of story to cover…

I scored 29 but feel I could have done even better if I knew what Red Eye Gravy, Brunswick stew, Polk Salad, and Hoppin' John were. Anyway, I'm moving to Savannah. Today's Yes/No... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1531629506087292928 I mean...how much meat are on those things?  I usually just trim them off to make wing-eating easier.  You? https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1531682014419730438 For…

Awwww,  man.  I'm at the "gaming challenge" portion of the outline and coming up with puzzles is NOT my forte.  I spent the morning reviewing some of the classics: timed doors, water levels, moving blocks, reflecting sunlight with strategically placed mirrors, and, of course, searching the room for the hidden password or combination.  After much…

It's flower-viewing season! Ice cream break! And winding down after an exhausting day...  

Yozo!  How goes your weekend?  What's new and exciting on your end? Did a little writing today, completing the first of two outlines I'm looking to deliver beginning of next week.  Did a little (slow going) reading.    Packed Suji into her stroller and took a walk down to the park for a dog-related event.…
