LAWRENCE WELK DOONEESE AND ROBERT GOULET IN THE FIRST SKETCH?! BLESSED!

Happy 50th, SNL!

Dr. Pam Parry (left) served as Journalism History editor when I submitted my very first article. She gave me my first acceptance and immediately became a huge advocate for my work. No one loved media history more. She was a joy to work with, a great collaborator and leader. What a loss to us all.

Happy birthday, small dog ❤️

Someone in my building of mainly 20-somethings is singing along to Bond themes, and I am absolutely cracking up. I did not expect to be serenaded with “Nobody Does It Better” by Carly Simon through the bathroom wall at 10 p.m.

Pupdate: plain hamburger for the birfday boi

First big dog. First boy dog. First birthday! Happy, happy birthday to this silly little(?) Aquarius, the overlord of the water bowl, purveyor of fine sticks, and 13/10 good boy —Zeke.

Thinking of Coach and his family.

This year was bonkers. Cheers to 2024 with hope for a great 2025!

Jimmy Carter, 39th president and Nobel Peace Prize winner, dies at 100, his son says The tenacious Southerner was turned out of office after one term. But he had a brilliant post-presidential career as a champion of health, peace and democracy.

Breaking news: Jimmy Carter, a no-frills and steel-willed Southern governor who was elected president in 1976, died Sunday at his home in Plains, Georgia, according to his son. He was 100 and the oldest living U.S. president of all time.

Got a personal book embosser for Christmas, and it will keep me entertained for a good while…

“Another tender Tennessee Christmas…”

Christmas Eve fit.

Forgot about this app again, but returning to say GO VOLS AND GO DAWGS. My alma maters meeting in the ‘ship would be my greatest dream and worst nightmare. But bring it.

How Bluesky, Alternative to X and Facebook, Is Handling Explosive Growth The fledgling social media site has been flooded with new users since the election. It hasn’t all been easy.

Bluesky’s growth has exploded as people seek alternatives to X, Facebook and Threads. The social media site's 20 full-time employees have been working around the clock to deal with the issues that come with hyper-growth.

Trying to stay to hold down the fort so that echo chamber doesn’t become any worse.

Found wrapping paper that looks like Zeke for his first Christmas, so naturally, I had to wrap everything right away and put up the tree…

Hi, friend!

Ah, man, I forgot about this platform again. Anyway, Go Vols and Go Dawgs
