PSA for those keyboard shortcut users on Mac who suddenly are wondering why CMD+I opens mail.app, I found the workaround.
Considering Options in Ukraine, me at Providence Journal. I’ll post a TLDR thread later.
🏀 There is something about the nature of enduring sports rivals that makes UNC beating Duke last night for Coach K’s last game, well, fitting and expected.
For those following me here on the blog or via micro.blog, just a note that I’ve been on Twitter of late sharing articles and my thoughts on Ukraine. If you’re interested in that, you can find me there.
When geopolitics hits home: Just saw a gas station up it’s price 7¢ on the marquee as I was driving by.

When your the dad of boys: for helping me wash the car they get a treat. They get to accompany me to Home Depot.
I’m supposed to take my kiddo for his first MLB game in a couple of weeks. I won’t be happy if that’s canceled on account of MLB owners. ⚾️
I didn’t watch the Super Bowl, didn’t even see scores until the morning. I’m surprised how deeply content I am with that. 🏈
Wow, yeah. This is wild.
A tired book shopper.
First time inside Chik-fil-A since the before times. 🐓📷
Needless to say, the kiddo was very happy about it.
Coffee and Bayes. My friends who know me will laugh at what has befallen me. ☕️
The audacity of a school administrator trying to end run around parents who, respectively, have a PhD and an MSW and who know the rules at least as well as they do is something. I don’t know if I’m appalled at the behavior or impressed at the bravado.
