Notes from the Post-it Wall | Week of October 2, 2022

By David Himmel

• I’m an adult. I eat at McDonald’s. I loved Happy Meals. So why is the Adult Happy Meal Cactus Plant Flea Market thing happening right now so confusing to me? What is Cactus Plant Flea Market? A clothing line? Never heard of it. Why is this something McDonald’s and its adult patrons are interested in? Have I reached the pinnacle of out of touch, uncool dad? If so, I might be okay with that.

• All binges in moderation.

• I really am interested in my wife’s side of the argument on Facebook. But I’m more interested in hearing the side of the crazy bitch mean girl idiot who started it all. 

• What’s more exhausting? Being a parent to two children; your traditional autumnal depression; the national Adderall shortage?

• The midterm elections are going to reveal some hard but obvious truths… America and its electorate suck.

• While it’s not fun to see Tom Brady’s marriage deflate like one of his footballs, it does feel like some kind of justice.
