Good morning and hello! I spent the weekend sedated and watching Mrs. Maisel and I have to say, yes it was a good way to spend a weekend. I hope you too accomplished your goals and lived your weekend dreams, and that you’re looking out upon this new week with the sort of wild-eyed optimism that can only come from lying to oneself! I love us!

I loved the biking around the world story, especially because the woman who did it was not young at all.
Also, Reise on Queery?! I was pretty excited to see that!
Pipkin got into the treat bag so he’s had like 3 meals in 2 minutes
Okay so that was meant to be a message to my wife about our dog when I really wanted to write some comment about how I had been wondering if Riese would ever do a Queery episode and am so happy she did.
I don’t know how to delete it and my brain is clearly not at a super functioning level
Well, @queergirl, this is the funniest comment-mistake I’ve seen posted here or any place since the invention of Internet.
Clearly it deserves a comment award.
So happy Pipkin is living his best life
Someone should have a good time in these dark times, it might as well be Pipkin
