Three Beautiful Things 06-28-2025: Big D's Big Boy Party, Buy the Wok, Could Have Saved Myself Heartache

1. Ed's son, Darren, turned 40 this past week. Today, Darren's wife Erica threw Big D's Big Boy Party in hers and Darren's back yard in Post Falls.  It was a joyous occasion with awesome tacos and side dishes, a bunch of Darren and Erica's family and friends full of mirth, and a splendid gift opening ceremony. Darren scored multiple bottles of fine whiskey, some LPs, house plants, and, among other gifts, a hoodie personally signed by Gonzaga men's basketball great Robert Sacre, thanks to Ed.  

2. I don't like to make recommendations (I'm too easy to please) and I don't like to give advice.

I made an exception today at Trader Joe's, though.

As I was checking out my groceries, the cashier told me that her husband has been wanting to buy a wok and then she said something about being concerned about using a wok and burning down the house. 

I gave her a brief bit of advice: "BUY THE WOK!"

3. As I was listening to the "Draggin the Line" Radio Station on Spotify today, driving between Kellogg and Post Falls, I realized I would have saved myself a lot of heartache in my life if I hadn't taken songs like "Never My Love", "Cherish", "Wait a Million Years", "Midnight Confessions" and others so seriously.
