My first twitter post isn’t all that exciting. It’s not a, “Hey, I’m trying out this twitter thing” or a “Hello world” post. It’s simply a blurb that exists and has some meaning in that moment.

It sits there in my kitchen. Generally not full enough to run, but full enough that I should consider running it. I’ve used one consistently for the last six years and it’s the first time that I’ve really thought about it. I never really used the dishwasher until I got this place.
