If you're headed to @GeorgeMasonU's Fairfax Campus tonight, men's soccer takes on GW at 7 p.m., followed by fireworks between 9–10 p.m.
Expect temporary closures on Campus Drive and Global Lane during the fireworks. Plan ahead and allow extra travel time. @MasonParking

October 8 is World Octopus Day. How did that guy get those helium balloons to do this? I have no idea. Octopuses are MUCH smarter than I am. #WorldOctopusDay
This must be an age thing, but I had three story ideas this week while running errands and/or driving. Like even coming up with a first sentence. And wrote NONE of them down. Now they faded away and I only have the shape of the ideas. Ack! Trying to trigger the ideas again. 🤔

OMG I am still so angry at @AppleTV about the outage last night. I spent so much time trying to set things right so people could continue watching and Apple's stupid bot kept blaming my streaming device. Time I can't get back. 😡

Tom Petty recorded 169 takes of “American Girl” before his group, “Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers,” ultimately settled on which version to release, he told @anthonymasoncbs in 2009.
The song made it onto our CBS Sunday Morning Essential American Songbook, celebrating America’s 250th birthday.
As I was leaving Target today, I overheard a mom discussing space with her young son. I do remember those boy mom days so clearly: space, Pokemon, aliens, whether or not Anakin was the chosen one (we never resolved this).
