Sometimes I&#39;m late because I stay like this for a long time instead of getting ready.

Right now, somewhere in the world, a dog is waiting by the door, absolutely thrilled that their favorite person is coming home. On a more personal note: you have survived 100% of your hardest days. Your kindness has touched people in ways you don&#39;t even realize, and people smile when they think of you. You are a once-in-an-eternity event. The odds of you existing, exactly as you are, are practically zero—and yet, here you are. That makes you a miracle just by existing. #SomethingNice

It is that time of year again. My daughter is a third-grade #teacher at a suburban school north of #Boston. 80% of her students are ESL (English as a second language) students. She's not allowed to advertise on the Book of Face, probably because it's too embarrassing. Every year my Mastodon family comes through magnificently, picking great stuff from her Amazon #wishlist. I'm hoping this year is no exception! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/ISNKBF6JKUH4?ref_=wl_share Please...

I'm not feeling very patriotic these days, but this drink was pretty good. It's still unbearably hot out, with a feels-like temp upwards of 110°F / 43.3°C. It's 9:30pm, and it's still 87°F / 30.5°C. of course, folks in warmer climes probably laugh at us, but days over 100 are still very rare. Our room AC didn't really keep up! #boston #scorcha

The corruption is staggering. And breathtaking. And astoundingly brazen. Thanks @molly0xfff@hachyderm.io for the tireless reporting. She deserves hazardous duty pay. https://www.citationneeded.news/issue-104/ #crypto #scam

Haley is the newest foster #cat here for a few days. She is just a cuddle monster and wants to get scritches and give head butts. Of course, she punctuates those with the occasional hiss and the little nip, too. She got dumped off at the vets in a bag. No idea who or why. It’s so tragic. But we will get her calmed down and adopted in no time. Isn’t she beautiful? If you’re in the #Boston area, we’re looking for a foster and or an Adopter for her! You won’t regret it 😺 #cats #CatsOfMastodon

Morning Mastodonians! After a lot of driving yesterday (to Cambridge to drop my wife off at work, west side of Woburn for hockey, the other side of Woburn for an office visit, back home, back to Cambridge, and home), I’m looking forward to a quiet day at the home office #Today. The only thing on the schedule besides a few work meetings is a #Passover dinner at a friend‘s house as the token Gentiles. The food is good and the conversation excellent. Of course, that means no 4 Guys Co-op, though.

Cheers everyone! Things everywhere are pretty terrible, so just for #today, we&#39;re going to hunker down and have a fancy Bloody Mary. We cleaned house, and now I&#39;m going to settle in front of the TV, watch some #RedSox baseball, and dream of warmer days ahead. Right? RIGHT? #cocktails
