I may have been excessively excited to find these in the otherwise small international food section at the Fort Drum Commissary today!

How do campaign finance laws affect nonprofits and their donors? Join us Wednesday at 12 PM ET to learn from Allen Dickerson, former chair of the @FEC and partner at @BakerHostetler. events.zoom.us/ev/AiBF_FpBQbI…

Winston doesn’t like the hot weather, so we let him lie on the cool kitchen work surface if he wants to. But of course, he’s a cat, so we couldn’t really stop him 🤣

My horse has been feeling under the weather, with a fluctuating fever, for about a week now. Bloodwork didn’t give us much answers. Would appreciate your prayers.

Today marks my two years as Research Director @InstFreeSpeech! A wonderful two years working with amazing colleagues on such interesting and important #freespeech projects. No regrets, here, about #leavingacademia!

The latest goal in Women’s EURO history. Iconic.

This was exhilarating to watch! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚽️

Prayers for my husband, please. Today is the first of two trips to the VA hospital this week for diagnostic procedures that will hopefully yield some answers.

The famously intense Toffee cat stare!

1/2 marathon in state #37 (MI)✅ Very special - on bday of ETR1 McNabb who I carry on my back for 22 Too Many. Raising awareness of #veteransuicide. Wonderful experience; relieved my husband (who is having serious cognitive issues) coped on his own during the 40hrs I was away.

Yesterday was a beautiful evening to fly into Syracuse with @united. Happy to be home.

William Howard Cat!

My Oh My! 🤣🫢

Quick overnight trip to cross state number 37 (Michigan) off the half marathon with the Flag list tomorrow! Not a fan of the 3:30AM wake up call, but it is what it is.
