New Orleans. Brothers Food Mart, 2012. A convenience store that was serving the best fried chicken. So unassuming. So delicious.
There was also another hole-in-the-wall bar that had the best gumbo that we ate after trying Oysters Rockefeller somewhere else.
We’re from Toronto and that trip was years ago but we still speak fondly of the food and the people of New Orleans to this day.
This is it. When they forced us back into the office, it was less about afternoon naps and avoiding traffic. It was more about being able to see my dr that closes at 4pm or taking my elderly parents to their appointments. Cooking dinners to avoid takeout and getting ‘me’ time between zoom calls. They took that away from us. Now it’s 9-5 and not a minute more.
When I finally got a place of my own in my 30s, I kept the shelves stocked with the brightest, sweetest, crunchiest kids cereals. Lucky Charms, Trix, Count Chocula, Golden Grahams. All we were allowed to eat as kids was Corn Flakes and Bran Flakes 🤢
Death of a parent and managing their assets.
Just never talked about sickness and death. You always assumed they would be around.
Some cultures and religion make end-of-life stuff really difficult on the kids.
Salary and time off.
Benefits are great but are limited. I had $1,000 in 'mental health' spending but my therapist nearly doubled their pricing over 3yrs. That $1,000 once got me 10-12 sessions now only got me 6.
If Trump was elected in the 80s, he wouldn't be alive long enough to change the name plate of the oval office desk. We're living through such a wild time in history.
Shohei Ohtani - a modern day legend.
Not really.... Brucely isn't exactly an adverb...
Brock Lee tho... that would be an awesome name.
THIS 100%. If I don't get up when my alarm goes off, I'll have less me time before my wife and kid wake up. No time to workout, take a hot shower, run downstairs and enjoy silence.
If my last name was LEE, all my kid's names would be adverbs.
Quick Lee, Total Lee, Probab Lee.
