What we rewatch without choosing is what our brains practice all day.
You know the rerun. The show we've seen 12 times that's on while we fold laundry. The same 6 clips, in the same order, because nothing in them asks anything of us.

If your head's been loud all day, sit somewhere quiet.
If it's been flat and gray, get moving.
Same advice, opposite directions, and most of us get it backwards.
On the loud days we walk it off and come home more wound up than we left.
On the flat days we sit down to think and think about nothing for 20 minutes.
Figure out which one your brain is doing today, then pick the opposite.
It's a 5-minute fix once you notice.

You'll find most of your good ideas walking, and you'll finish almost none of them unless you sit back down.
A mind in motion free-associates.
A body at rest can hold one thing.
We keep trying to do both at the desk, then wonder why the ideas don't come.
Get out for 20 minutes, come back, and sit still long enough to actually write.
Same brain, two jobs.

I kept a folder full of half-written essays and thought something was wrong with me.
It wasn't discipline. It wasn't time.
It was one problem wearing three coats.
I finally named it, and it's why your "someday" project is still sitting there.

Patrick was one of those icons who we somehow all took for granted would always be with us.
I grew up as a fan, and was later gifted the privilege of becoming a colleague and friend, working with him for many years on “American Dad!”, “Family Guy”, and “Ted”. He was that rare actor who could take any bit of dialogue and elevate it, making a good writer sound great, and a great writer sound masterful. He was also as humble as they come. I remember exchanging emails with him a number of years ago when he was beginning day 1 of a new film. He commented to me that he always walked onto a new set feeling like the biggest novice there. My stunned reaction was the same as anyone’s would be. I said, “Patrick, if you feel that way, the rest of us are screwed.” We have lost a legendary actor today, and for many of us, a good friend. He will be deeply missed by the entire planet.

For a decade the drive home did a job nobody thanked it for.
Twenty-five minutes of road let Work Me put the file down before Dad Me picked up whatever was at the door.
Nobody scheduled it. Nobody named it. Then the meeting followed me up the stairs.

Justin Verlander’s final career start ended with his daughter running out to meet him on the mound. What a moment in Detroit. 🥹
