65. …aaaaand this just happened. That’s a wrap, everyone! I don’t think I am ready for anything more.pic.twitter.com/iAo8ygga5R
66. After a few readers told me red labels mean “hot” and blue “cold,” I had my first hot coffee in a can, from a vending machine. It was good! Plus, it arrived within a second of pressing the button.pic.twitter.com/rjkxbrPydM

Oh, yes!!! I heard something that sounded like Battle Hymn of the Republic on repeat.
