Cleveland native now living in Bremen, Germany.

I used to swim and run. I still do, I used to too
I almost fell for the red herring today, which, given my interests, wouldn't have been a big surprise. But then I couldn't get any other matches.

Is it just my kids?
Is it them being "half American"?
Is it the vacation?

Whatever it is, their volume is super loud

I'm deathly afraid of accidentally hitting "yes" to "receive notifications?" on some random website and not knowing how to turn them off
There is no situation in which I need a random recipe site to be allowed to send me notifications. None.

CONGRATS, BROWNS!

Browns!

Play calling on that drive was poor. 3 runs, no play-action, or at least one throw.

Now the defense has to step up again

Need to discover new music? Matthew P is the go-to. That, and any playlist imaginable
this is a thread of songs from 2025 I wish everyone knew because they are excellent and a little too obscure

Browns Defense delivering on that drive

Ok, second cook today on the WSM. Did a pot roast complimented with holiday leftovers. It was a different flavor and the smoke wasn't overtly dominating, which was nice. We had a leaner cut of meat, so it wasn't as tender as we would have liked.

8/10

Both my wife and I remember seeing a promo for Rata2ouille a year or so ago but can find no record of a sequel. Were we living in some sort of bizarro world?

Remember the 90s when we called parents "the Rents"?

Yes, here in Bremen we had three days of sun for Christmas and now we are back to the dreary and grey
It is December, can we have snow ?

Berlin: Best we can do is fog, rain and dreariness.

My wife got me a head lamp for my early morning runs. It's 18F (-8C) out and after two days of big meals (plus another lunch out today) I went for an early morning run to test the lamp out. Good start to the day and a bit better than holding a small flashlight

It would also be cool if they had names for the studio panel. I have no idea who any of these people are. One kinda has some Michael Phelps vibes, but I know that isn't him 😂
It would be really nice, you know, if the Netflix score bug showed the teams' records.

Me: gets FB ad for band coffee mugs. Promptly tells wife as gift idea.

Wife gives suggestive response of "I'm aware"

Me: continues to get said ad and thinks "oh yeah I'm probably getting this for Christmas.

Also me: opens said present and completely forgets about all of the above

Cleveland traded Taubensee to Houston for a certain Kenny Lofton. Talk about a significant deal!
