Ramble On: Spring 2026 Edition

  The Emperor is naked.   Had to explain to someone that we used to have to pay to use minutes on cellphones… “back in my day”.  It’s weird that Molly Ringwald’s character in the Breakfast Club brings sushi for lunch for a lot of reasons…not only is this supposed to represent “rich kid” status, but…she has unrefrigerated raw fish with her until whenever their lunchtime is…which is probably supposed to be hours after they arrive? The original pasta salad idea would have made more sense.  The ability to still feel safe as the country around you goes to war is nothing short of a blessing.  Instagram will show me things like “how to find a banana bread baddie” and then immediately go to “I do not fuck with any burrito without heft” and I think I’ve won?

Please don't open us up for all the world to see.
She isn't yet ready for the way her heart would bleed.

We contain all of her memories,
those both joyous and filled with treachery.

Her capricious handwriting reflects her emotions,
devoted to writing about all her life's commotions.

from tickets to wrappers and even a smudge of mascara --
most of which now seems like it's from a different era.

And she's told us stories that no one else knows,
to this day, we're very proud of the way she grows.

She's been through a lot,
but so have we,
surviving moving and fires and anything that can be.

So please don't open us up for all the world to see.
She's not quite ready to spill the tea.
