I made a decent batch of Japchae, which is as tasty as it is fun to say. Japchae!

April 18, 2024: Lost & Found
I misplaced my wallet last summer. I was pretty sure it was somewhere around the house, but I wasn't able to find it. I could (mostly) pay for stuff with my phone and I was monitoring my accounts for any weird charges, so everything was mostly fine. After a week and a half or so, I gave up and replaced all the cards and IDs and moved on with my life.
On Monday, I received a hand written card from a grocery store in an area I'm occasionally in, but not often, saying someone had turned my wallet into them. I stopped by there yesterday and they indeed had my old wallet in pristine condition with all inventory accounted for. The person working there when I stopped by didn't know anything about it but I am very curious how it ended up there ten months after the fact.

I really don't understand the point or interest in mock drafts. "This thing with a thousand variables maybe possibly might could happen this way....... or maybe this way!?"

I've been a big fan of Hanif Abdurriqib for a long time. For some reason, he's been a fan of the Wolves by choice for years. I hope we all have a great ride.
To be very earnest, it was really special for me to get to do this. I have been a fan for so long, have seen this team through so many eras of its life and my own life and you never think you’re gonna get a call asking you to write a thing and perform it for something like this. https://t.co/twNTwUw67E

If you haven't already, get 'um done, citizens.
April 14, 2024: That’s The One
Was great to see the Twins have a pretty good all around day of baseball. Felt nice. Wouldn't mind seeing it again.

Switch game chips are annoyingly small, especially if your children are terrible at returning them to their cases.

I realized a while ago there's a(n annoying?) trope of bands/artists ending their albums by getting up, walking to and through a door, and closing it behind them. The Replacements, Neutral Milk Hotel, Julien Baker, and a few more I'm forgetting. What are your annoying music cliches? Also, while we're here, drop a list why not?

I see that Minnesota has put out an admittedly kind of cool black and white license plate. As a white car haver, I could be convinced.

Jeff A mentioned it recently, but the teams the Twins are performing close to are not good teams.
