With beloved TV action star Ernest Borgnine!

Would you like an apple pie with that?

I once had a user open a ticket for a network issue at 4:47pm on Friday.

Right before he went out on scheduled PTO for two weeks.

Yeah, let’s see you try doing German ballads better than The Hoff, you pussies.

M-O-O-N, that spells The Stand (1994). Such a great miniseries.

Misery, Stand By Me, The Running Man (1987), and The Dead Zone for movies and 11/22/63 and Under The Dome for TV shows.

Because they were names I’d been scrolling by for years and will never, ever intentionally call them. Nothing bad, just things like old work contacts, or even people from college and high school that were added decades ago and never left my phonebook.

I never wanted to delete them just in case one day I needed to get in touch with them, but it ended up turning into a digital junk pile that I need to clean out now and then.

I can always add them back in if we ever cross paths in the future.

It’s pretty insane. Need to be prepared for any kind of weather. We had a 121F swing this year in Minneapolis. It was -21F on January 23, 2026, and 100F on July 27, 2026.
