@JonAcuff I asked my wife to edit chapters of my book. The pages came back to me all marked up. In red pen. With a letter grade. "C+ You can do better", it said. She was right. But I still threw all our red pens in the garbage so we could stay married.
@JonAcuff A few years back, I grabbed a Sharpie and wrote this on three sheets of paper, 1) who am I talking with (what’s their story?) 2) what do they need (concerns, dreams, fears?) and 3) what can I humbly offer? These are still taped on the office wall in front of me. At eye level.
@GovBillLee Thank you. AND... the majority of gun owners favor these common sense gun safety laws. Please pass these as well, and we'll all be safer (not just school kids) and you will still get elected. https://t.co/2KekuZapBF
@JonAcuff Way to go, Jon! Really happy for you. And especially happy for the guy in the first photo. Yowza! Take that kid out for some ice cream, please.
@JonAcuff I giggle every time we put our card in your mailbox imagining the look of sadness and contempt when you unfurl the book-length update. #birdcageliner
@JonAcuff I wish I could claim this for myself, but my father rolls over and says "I'm sorry" to my mother every morning. It's a dual-purpose advance apology to 1) cover anything he screws up later in the day, and 2) acknowledge that she could have done better, but he's glad she didn't.
Congress overwhelmingly passed a $600/wk emergency benefit during the pandemic. They believed this was the bare minimum needed to cover food and shelter for a family.
It's equal to $15 per hour.
Yet minimum wage is still stuck at less than half that amount.
Food for thought.

Join me in participating in today’s Blackout day. No matter what color you are, it is possible to be for ALL lives while you’re affirming BLACK lives. Because they do matter. Right?!
Hey @somegoodnews@johnkrasinski . A friend suggested I send you this. My dog Frank is my company's only employee. He's been dressing for work and showing up since 2017 (which is good news, except when he's penning complaint letters to HR about me) https://t.co/p2CGtfJh2e
I remembered I got to do this song with John Prine years ago. But I didn’t remember the intro...Sending love and peace and gratitude to John and Fiona.
I’m lucky that my work allows me to meet some wonderful people all over the world. My friend Sattar and his wife Nora are two lovely souls who remind me that we may be separated by half a world and... https://t.co/weZofiUACU
