Gamblers split tens

It's 7:15am on Saturday, August 30th, 2025. I am 34 years old today. I have a coffee, Melon, and my laptop. Meghan and Harrison are upstairs sleeping in. It rare these days to have time completely to myself like this, which is part of why I haven't posted in two...

She lies and says I don't want to spoil it in the first line, but you probably know the lyric. Four plain words, sung a thousand times. It could be any song. Yet...I think you know it. The best lyrics are simple and somehow hold a whole life's worth of feeling. One of...

ChatGPT is nasty, I'm not sure who is even writing this anymore. I find myself trapped between two opposites: when there’s nothing to do, I’m restless with boredom; when there’s too much to do, I’m overwhelmed by the weight of preparation. Either way, I end up...

I listen to less music every year than the year prior. Partly due to the increasing of quality podcasts, but partly due to decreasing quality of new music. The four piece rock band is on death's door. For old timers like me, that's a bummer. Here's Coachella 2005 vs...

I was listening to a podcast with a programmer when the host asked him how becoming a father changed his life. Here's his paraphrased answer: Starting a family wasn't on my list of priorities. I was in my early 30s and felt I understood the boundaries of life, of what...

Same concept, I write a post and let ChatGPT improve it, then I edit. Do you like this style? Let’s get something straight: other countries don’t pay tariffs - we do. More specifically, I do. And then, so do you. Tariffs drive up costs, which raises prices for...

Today is Harrison's 20th day out of the womb. There's no real point to this post other than describing what it's like to have a three week old baby. As I said in my other post, the first few days are surreal; we'd look at him every so often and say to ourselves "holy...

I wrote a post first and put it entirely in ChatGPT asking for it to be improved. I do feel that its output was better. I suppose this is the start of a hybrid model of a blog post that you'll see moving forward. Let me know what you think. PS - the feature image is...
