@ConorDaly22 I can't grasp how you rear-end someone, take 7 pits stops, and still somehow finish first. I can only imagine what Seb's going through right now. Yeesh! (I prefer to focus on the few laps where one @ConorDaly22 was in the top 3.)

Plus, this! If you're lookin' to see my face this summer, come drink with me and learn a bit about Grand Rapids' bloody history: https://t.co/CJzj6Xob86

I am thrilled to announce that I will be the new Director of Software at Service Express, and I am beyond grateful to have the chance to lead a small part of the amazing teams that will define the future of the IT industry. To new friends, new challenges, and new adventures!

For those who know me, you know that OST has been a part of my identity for many, many years. This was not a decision I made lightly, but a decision has been made. (2/3)

One in three Americans has switched jobs or intends to switch jobs in 2021. (According to the New York Times, it’s a sign of economic recovery.) I’ve never been one to follow convention, but here we are. June 30 will be my final day at OST. (1/3)

I’m pulling for you @ConorDaly22. Let’s make some magic happen! #IndyCar #Indy500

[AJ Powell @iamajpowell]

Nice work, Roger Penske! #indy500

We've packed a lot into our first 21 years Cara Powell, and I can't imagine having spent it with anyone else. Thanks for sharing my adulthood with me. (Even the parts where I was being stupid.) Happy Anniversary!

As you're looking for something to do over the Holidays, consider joining me and an amazingly talented cast for HOW THE GINGE STOLE CHRISTMAS, a largely-improvised comedy variety show at THE COMEDY PROJECT. Music. Drag. Stand-Up. And rhyming. Lots and lots of rhyming. One ni…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to one of my oldest and dearest friends. Wait. That came out wrong. I wasn't calling you old, Kathe Farris (sure, you're older than me, but that's not THAT old...). Funny. Funky. Fresh. These are words I use to describe the artisan bread where they add chia an…

To say that Barbara Rapaport has changed my life is a gross understatement. I did not realize how limited my toolbox was until she started sharing her tools with me, and I didn’t realize how much better I could be until she cleaned my glasses and helped me see. HAPPY BIRTHDA…

[AJ Powell @iamajpowell]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Tamara Walston Iakiri. I've never met anyone more graceful, passionate and skilled in the art of managing people, and every day I get to work with you is a gift. Here's hoping you get time today to enjoy the experience of people caring for you the way you do …

We're t-minus 47 hours until UNSETTLED at The Comedy Project. If you're NOT currently planning to see my magnum opus comedy show, you're missing out on the sort of show that will make you laugh, laugh again, and then laugh one more time, all while secretly thinking, 'what di…

[AJ Powell @iamajpowell]

Hey Brooke Bruce - Happy Birthday to the most talented and intelligent magical apprentice I’ve ever had the pleasure to coach (and to appear on stage alongside). I’m excited to see your solo magical debut at UNSETTLED this Thursday!

[AJ Powell @iamajpowell]

She is strong-willed, speaks her mind, and fights for what’s right. She loves good food, good drink, and a good laugh. She is bold, brash, and beautiful. And she’s been in my heart for all of my adult life. Thanks for 20 years, Cara Powell. I know and love you more and bette…

[AJ Powell @iamajpowell]

Yay!

[AJ Powell @iamajpowell]

Of all the people I call my friends, do you know which one is most likely to make me laugh? It's Amy Just Amy. Not only does she make me smile virtually every time I see her, but also she wrote my (current) favorite sketch in The Comedy Project GR's CTRL, ALT, DEFLECT sketch…

[AJ Powell @iamajpowell]

Some of my very bestest friends are doing an improv show tonight with a special guest improv duo from Chicago, the very talented Jaymes Gretchky. Free tonight? The show's only $10, it's at The Comedy Project GR and it's definitely worth checking out!

[AJ Powell @iamajpowell]

Something worth checking out; 100% of the proceeds go to benefit the amazing Dog Story Theater. Take a look!

[AJ Powell @iamajpowell]
