“Starting a podcast is the millennial version of let’s start a band.”

I don’t know who said it, but I love it.

A word or few on the bachelorette party: bane of the gay bar’s existence. While most view the bachelorette party with a weary, hateful eye, I usually think, ‘Oh, let them enjoy their day-long glory. They can go back to worshipping me the remaining 364 days of the year,’ and then it usually happens.

In my rapidly-advancing age I find it much easier to say a kind word instead of a mean one. There is less effort involved. And when it comes to criticism, a little goes a long way. (In the words of Norma Desmond, “I can say anything I want with my eyes!”)

There is something powerful in not saying anything out loud if you have nothing nice to say. A literally-unsaid sort of power.

My oboe teacher taught me a great many life lessons over the years, not the least of which was, “Don’t stick your butt out when you bow.”

It took some practice, but eventually I got it.

I got it good.

It’s ok to walk with a shadow.

Some days it’s the only thing that proves the sun is out.

When the most exciting part of the day is when you discover a fresh urinal cake in the office restroom, it’s time to make the days more exciting.

Out of all the skills I’ve learned at the office, faking the reach to pretend I’m trying to hold the elevator is the greatest.

“What doesn’t kill you will try again tomorrow.”

This is why I love the Tony Awards.

Open question for office building co-horts: why would you go to a different floor to use the restroom? I’ve done that when the men’s room is being cleaned and there’s a big sign on the door and tape blocking the way, but when it’s open why bother?

Who types the closed-captioning for Spectrum News Albany? Asking for the literate.

At first I was annoyed that the Queen would entertain Trump at a banquet. Then I saw him in white tie and tails. Well-played, your Majesty.

You know those grumpy parents who come home after a day of work and need a couple of hours of quiet time without bother or interruption? I am one of those grumpy parents. Without the annoying kids. Thank Christ for that small grace.
