Speeding down a county road in Indiana listening to Nirvana today, I felt like my life was folded and overlaid on itself like a tracing, the outlines of me 25 years ago… but with a better car this time. 🙃
I know several folks who might be into this. I’m frankly tempted to give them @Rodd Snook’s name, just because he ❤️’s meerkats. 😂

@starbuxman @apaipi Good morning! 👋
@brockleyboyo I’ve heard it on @binge_mode several times now as just like an accepted thing, especially in light of The Mandalorian and the Rise of Skywalker.
Project #swineapple is complete. Meat is perfect – tender and juicy! Along with sweet corn and homemade Instant Pot baked beans. The old man did damn good! 🐷🍍👏

@crankymate You found the marathon on SyFy? My Dad and I were watching all day. 😂 They were going in reverse order so you still have the first and best to go!
Folks – you know what this means. Dad’s making a #swineapple on his smoker today and I get to document the entire process! 🐷🍍 https://t.co/8BgE4p2Zos https://t.co/aK27vLtg6W
It has begun! First step is pineapple surgery to remove the core. #swineapple 🐷🍍 https://t.co/GfH1BIwOqs
Step 2: weave a bacon lattice. (Has there ever been a more glorious sentence?) #swineapple 🐷🍍 https://t.co/F9BOX6FXEx
Step 3: stuff the marinated pork tenderloin into the pineapple. (Technically this is Step 4, but we got overexcited to see if it would fit.) #swineapple 🐷🍍 https://t.co/vzG0IBIudc
Step 4 (which should’ve been Step 3): peel the pineapple. #swineapple 🐷🍍 https://t.co/moFeqHNDrN
Step 5: attach bacon lattice to #swineapple with plenty of skewers. 🐷🍍 https://t.co/yLC5TnnwA6
Step 6: reattach pineapple top with more skewers and behold the majesty of the prepped #swineapple ! 🐷🍍 https://t.co/08IVQGW31g
… and now we pause to let the prepped #swineapple chill. Come back in a few hour to see the rest of the preparation! 🐷🍍

Phase Two of Project #swineapple begins! First step is to get the smoker going. Note the improvised windbreak because it’s freezing here! 🐷🍍 https://t.co/k2eKszXDsi
LOL. So the windbreak lasted less than 5 min until a gust of wind blew it halfway across the yard. 😂 MacGyvering continues… #swineapple 🐷🍍
Time to start cooking some #swineapple!! (Note that we have one Hero Swineapple, and one that had some Issues.) 😂 Using applewood to smoke. Temperature probes in place! 🐷🍍 https://t.co/GMAseG0S5U
While the #swineapple is cooking, I decided to do some taste testing For Science. 👍 to mint KitKats; 👎 to fake Nutella M&Ms. https://t.co/QiE4TYOqNi
45 min in and we’re at 60F internal temperature. Aiming for 145F… #swineapple 🐷🍍 https://t.co/O33AZQcTH7

Ahhh, Chicago. Snow storm hit just as we were boarding plane. We sat on the tarmac for two hours before returning to gate. Just got official cancellation. 🙃 There’s nothing to do but… https://t.co/M1KwQcmsar
@SarahMoran AWS has a Women@Amazon group, as well as more specific groups for various departments.
Eight fruitless hours at the airport, and now I’m back at hotel. At least it only took an hour to pull my luggage off the plane. ❄️❄️❄️ The snow is still falling…
@united In all the chaos of O’Hare cancellations, I lost my iPad when we deplaned! 😢 Anything I can do besides log report? What a nightmare of a day.
And somehow I managed to leave my iPad on the plane when we deboarded after sitting on the runway for 2 hours. 😢 Really, really crappy day. Hoping @united finds it quickly…
@united I did, thanks. I was just hoping there was a faster option given I know exactly where it is, but I guess not. 😔
@lemon_lime Yes. With hundreds of flights cancelled, the estimated wait time was “40-50 minutes.” And United’s website says to just fill out form and wait. 😩
@mattstratton I’ve seen from my team that the airport is INSANE. Leave yourself way extra time. I’m heading for the South Shore instead…
@united Someone just rang me to say they found it! ❤️ Really happy. Bright spot amongst some bad travel luck.
@united It’s a little scary that she needed my passcode to verify it was mine, but I guess there’s no other way to verify. Fingers crossed it’s waiting as promised in Lost & Found next week when I return.
Looks like United found it! And I’m on a train now with wifi! And my Dad is waiting with food and beer and a Tremors marathon! Perhaps this story will have a happy ending after all… ❤️ https://t.co/maiHMHSh5e

Question – was it canon BACK THEN that Obi-Wan Force-healed Luke from the Sand People? Because I never got that. I just thought Luke got knocked out for a bit.
Spent 8 fruitless hours at O’Hare today. The snow started coming down just as I boarded the plane. We ended up sitting on the runway for two hours before eventually heading back for refuelling and more de-icing. They told us we could exit the plane for a bit… and then told us it was cancelled. It took me several more hours to determine that all the flights on Saturday were full, cancel my flight, get my checked bag off the plane, book a hotel room, Uber it all the way back the city… and I just discovered my iPad is missing. Pretty sure it’s in the seatback pocket.
UPDATE: United just called – they found it!! 😍
