TIL: The "Simple Sabotage Field Manual" was declassified in 2008 and it contains advice on how spies can sabotage the enemy by just being maliciously incompetent. Advice include praising inefficient coworkers, cry and sob frequently at work, asking inane questions in meetings, and spreading gossip.

I was FaceTiming a guy I was dating. My son, who was probably about 3-4 wakes up upset. I go to comfort him and take my phone with me.

Instead of wanting to hang up, he grabbed his guitar and played and sang for us.

We didn’t make it for unrelated reasons. No animosity or anything. But it’s one of those memories that sets the bar in the future.

In high school, one of my guy friends who liked me baked me a big plate of chocolate chip cookies and randomly gave it to me one day. I finished the whole plate during one class, and he was impressed and also a bit horrified. I thought it was super cute and unusual for a dude to bake someone cookies.

He and I have been together going on 16 years, married for almost 7. How he baked me cookies is one thing I'll never forget.
