Anitra and me at “Grown-Up Night” at the Glazer Children’s Museum

Once a year, the Glazer Children’s Museum holds what I like to call “Grown-Up Night,” an adults-only event where we grown-ups can explore the museum and play with the exhibits as if we were kids.

Anitra’s been a member of the museum’s board for a couple of years now, so we’ve gotten to know the board members and staff of the Museum and of course we were there!

We got a couple of photos of us and Little John, the smaller costume version of Big John, the triceratops skeleton on display on the Museum’s third floor. They’re album covers waiting to happen!

Comment of the day

Social media posting of a sheriff holding a mug with the Gadsden flag “Don’t tread on me” logo. The comment below it reads “Bro ur the foot”.

The Gadsden flag is often an indicator for “I peaked in high school.”

There’s no other way, kid.

Still photos from “The Mummy:”

Rick (Brendan Fraser’s character): “O great Anubis, how do I meet new people?”

Statue of Anubis: “Go out and be public.”

Rick (looking forlorn): “But I don’t wanna.”
Thanks to Sam Arnold for the find!

Want to meet people? Then you’ve got to get out there.

I’ve been tending to them for a year since they’d been hit by a blight-like bug, and the work is paying off!

In other news, I have been living in Florida for ten years, and it’s beginning to show.

Stranger than Fiction The Current Situation Work

Stop believing the “job creators’” lies

Screenshot from Fortune.com: “The Great Resignation is effectively over. We’re now in the Great Talent Stagnation, where employers’ biggest concern is the lack of qualified applicants”

Not that long ago, they’d cry, moan, gnash their teeth and whine “Nobody wants to work!”

Now, they’re still crying, moaning, and gnashing their teeth, but the tune has changed: “Nobody’s qualified to work!”

What they’re really complaining about is that nobody wants to work for at the level they want for the pay they’re willing to offer.
