With two #surgeries coming up (one tomorrow), I have to say that my Met-Life pet #insurance is far better than my personal insurance. I hope my employer switches carriers this year. On that note, if you have pets, get #MetLife pet insurance.

Saw an #IceCream truck going through my neighborhood. Haven't seen that since I moved out of Olney in 1989. I've lived in the suburbs of MD, NY, Northern VA, and DE since then, as well as Chicago 9FWIW). At least 37 years (if not one or two more)? It's been a while.
No, I didn't get any ice cream.
There's a reason an #attorney typically charges between $2k-$3k to draft a #trust. I have the simplest #estate you can have, and my practice is trust-adjacent, but drafting my own (as well as a pour over will) was still a bear. I'd be terrified to draft one for anyone else without coursework. #law
If I know any #Virginia-barred #attorneys interested in working for a title company, hit me up in a private message.
I'm glad I live less than a mile from a #hospital. One of our #gaming group passed out twice within 60 seconds. I took his blood pressure. Three errors, then finally 79/40-something 7 minutes after first collapse. Had to force him to let us take him to the #ER. He's still there.
I just finished season 2 of #Paradise. Damn fine TV.
I just pulled into the grocery store parking lot with my my windows down blasting @Nickelback. Take that, Stone Ridge, Virginia! #music #Nickelback
I have a new client who's got the coolest parents ever. She's clearly named after an important #Vulcan from the #StarTrek original series.
The fact that the #Artemis II mission is *not* an April Fools Day joke is the joke. Everyone's assuming it isn't happening, but it's going to happen at 6:42 pm barring a technical issue. #NASA
The good thing about a four night stay in #Vegas is that when it's over, I don't want to spend another minute here. I'm happy to come home. I'm exhausted.
I've eaten well in #Vegas, but I certainly haven't eaten right. Whatever benefit I derived from walking so much here is (more than?) canceled out by how much I ate and even what I ate to a small extent.
Total haul after 1-1/2 days of #blackjack: $1,425. We'll see if that holds after tonight. If so, I'll find other stuff to do tomorrow. I think that's a pretty good haul for a $2,500 bankroll. #Vegas
This #Vegas trip proves how terribly old I am. I'm so thankful for law school. It was the only time in my life I was able to take advantage of being young.
But make no mistake about it. This has been a fun trip.
As an insanely dedicated #FleetwoodMac fan, this makes me happy. If you haven't heard the album #Buckingham #Nicks, you're missing out.

Checked in. $400 resort credit for a suite that was comp'd. Almost $1,200 in comps to spend as well.
To paraphrase the younguns: Best. Loyalty program. Evah.
#Capitals game Saturday night next door. Oh, and I haven't taken a bath since the 90s, but.... #Vegas #ALLCAPS
Got to #Dulles three hours early for my flight due to TSA issues. Got through security in less than 10 minutes. 🤷 #Vegas, here I come. @capitals.bsky.social game Saturday night. #ALLCAPS
I finished (re-)watching the original #TwilightZone episodes. Like all shows, it was hit & miss (mostly hit) and a product of its times (not as much as other shows from that era). The message delivered was usually clever. I imagine it borrowed from earlier shows, but it was original to me. #TV
Online #DnD 3.5 game: Started at 7 pm. It's 8:45 pm. We've run 1 encounter v. 2 dogs. Only 1 person took damage. So, easy encounter, but that's it in 1:45:00. For the last 7 minutes, we've been in total silence while the DM works through technical issues. WTF. #RPG
I'm in tremendous emotional pain right now. Online gaming just doesn't work for me. 😀 #TTRPG #RPG #DnD
My thumb is numb. Will be for about 4 hrs. 2nd injection to relieve trigger thumb. My #orthopedist isn't optimistic. Seems like #surgery is in nigh. It's a 10-minute #outpatient procedure under local anesthetic, so scheduling around it should be a snap. Didn't realize how much I used my left hand.
Here's something you never think about. The story of the #zipper. youtu.be/9szhjhO9epA?... #engineering
If they find Planet 9 and don't name it Urectum, I'll lose all respect for #astronomy.
I kept mine to give out as rewards or to give to people to encourage others to play. I just never gave away enough.
I ran a con (2 years), ran game days every weekend at as many as 5 sites, and ran Encounters during the week, so I have tons I find every so often. I never sold them because I wanted to give them as rewards or as opportunities to run games and grow the community. 4e went away; boxes were forgotten.
Look what I found. When stacked together, it's about three inches tall. I bet I could have sold these for a decent chunk of change about 15 years ago. I have tons of Encounters and other gameday adventures and accessories too, mostly in multiple duplicates. #DnD #4e #RPG #TTRPG
E-filed #appellate briefs officially accepted. At #UPS now getting everything mailed out. Such a relief.
