Amazing trilogy, couldn't put any of them down but Iron Codex was my favorite. Still can't understand why this isn't a Netflix show?

That Zainesville road trip was an annual event for my college fraternity
A pile of chocolate chip cookies.
Just made the @drewmagary.bsky.social chocolate chip cookie recipe and he’s right, they’re amazing, maybe the best I’ve made.
I was only 14 when I saw KISS in 77 and they rocked the house, especially with openers AC/DC. Great shows and great fun.
See you in York!
Got a little too focused on the "South" in South America. 🤷 Let me adjust my South answer to Port Campbell, Australia.
Furthest I’ve been:
N: Juneau, Alaska
E: Venice, Italy
S: Caracas, Venezuela
W: Rottnest Island, Australia
So sorry to hear this. I hate that you have to deal with this and I'm wishing you strength and let me know if you need anything.
Details please as the menu looks great!
The pointy birds poem is also said by Steve in LA Story for a great Easter Egg. 😁
My favorite Steve Martin movie! “Into the mud, Scum Queen!”
Wow, that’s one of the best compliments I’ve ever gotten, thanks! I tried to come up with an answer to your question but all of my favorite childhood authors aren’t living.
Watching Gary Mullen and the Works, the best Queen tribute band out there. Great show and loved to hear Innuendo live, first time I’ve seen it live since the Freddie Tribute Concert.
Finally!

How many more years until the Browns have dug themselves out of the Watson black hole? Do they trade Garrett?
One of my favorite movies of his is Narrow Margin. A pedestrian thriller that his performance turned into an stunning tale of suspense
So jealous! 😁. I’ve been using the same starting word for two years and still no success!
The first season didn’t air in Baltimore live until reruns so the first one I saw was Steve Martin. We also didn’t get the first season of Soap or the only season of Norman Lear’s Hot L Baltimore
Just made a batch and I will second your review. Excellent!
Just started playing Wingspan on the basis of a @keithlaw.bsky.social review. He's right - gorgeous game, a lot of fun, and not too tough to pick up and start playing.
This would be funny if it weren’t so true. This is most of the people I know, unfortunately.
It’s a whopping 7 degrees here. I was thinking of getting a haircut but I need every layer I can get!
IIRC, Tex Schram tried sumo wrestlers decades ago, but they only had the stamina for 2-3 plays a game.
Finally!

Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand. They think, deep in their hearts, that they are better than we are because we had to discover the compensations and refuges of life for ourselves. Even when they enter deep into our world or sink below us, they still think that they are better than we are. They are different.
Oh! But he was a tight-fisted hand at the grindstone, Scrooge! a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner! Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire; secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster.
Yes, even Tom Clancy's works, which were very conservative, featured politicians doing the right thing and mocking the incompetent. The only writer who still manages to handle this properly is Daniel Silva. I can't read any of the others anymore.
I took that tour in June and it was fascinating! A great mix of info and a lot of fun!
Parking is plentiful and only $11 a day too!
Train to NYC from Lancaster is half the price as any from Baltimore and it takes less time
