Got myself parked downtown for the half marathon. Honestly parking anxiety had me more nervous than the running.

Now I have an hour to walk a half mile to the start.

Meant to share this during the work day but was too busy shaking hands.

My coworker brought in her great dog today 😊

After going two weeks without being seen, a Lowe's representative told members of the team searching for Francine the cat that she was spotted on Saturday.

McCusker has just a few days to convince the Twins you are allowed to start a right handed batter in corner outfield. He may be the last hope.
We have made the following roster moves.

(Congratulations to the Wallner family!)

What an embarrassment.
Twins trade tally:

Carlos Correa
Jhoan Duran
Griffin Jax
Louis Varland
Brock Stewart
Willi Castro
Harrison Bader
Chris Paddack
Danny Coulombe
Ty France

They traded 40% of the roster, including the five best relievers and five players with 2+ years of team control remaining.

How exciting. I love the idea of giant chestnut trees growing in the forest of Appalachia again.

Forgot my headphones for work so now I have to do meetings with a wired headset.

Might just reschedule as many as I can.

After seeing Harrison Bader on one of these shirts two thoughts: Oh I want one! Then, Oh it would look very different on me...

Work account passwords expiring every 90 days are bad enough. I would love to find the dumbass who thought it would be a good idea to start nagging people 14 days before they expire, multiple times a day, to reset them.

I just got good at typing this password don't make me move on too soon.

Wearing my suit for the first time in a few years and it would seem to have shrunk a bit... couldn't be anything else.

I created an Apple account to watch the baseball game last night. Now I cannot sign in to it to cancel before getting charged due to some issue on their website.

It's a real bummer that (bad phone based) 2FA is forced on you during sign up, but then doesn't work.

Just played the 'Find Grandpa' mission of Spiderman 2 and it really got to me. What a touching scene.

Submitted my timesheet before noon on Monday for the first time in I don't know how long. I might actually sleep better tonight knowing I don't have to do that tomorrow.

So proud of myself. My wife was out of town last weekend so I planned family meals and got groceries and made dinner every night this week. There was something that our slightly picky 5 year old would eat at every meal. Wife was thrilled by the idea when I suggested it.

Why does every program on my computer have a blue app icon? Is there something about launching a program/app that requires it to be blue to get funding? Bluebeam, Bitwarden, Every Microsoft 365 program it seems like...

I'm so proud of my little Christmas tree. Also, I'm bad at soldering but really enjoy it.

Literally did this last night on a whim instead of watching results coming in.

It looks like Alton Brown is going on tour again in the spring. If he is going to be anywhere near you and you enjoy him at all, I promise you won't regret going to his show. They are always so much fun!

The morning #HurricaneHelene hit Asheville members of our co-op sat in the dark, listening to the howling wind and crack of trees falling. When we emerged to take stock a cardboard sign on our door read “Community meeting here, Saturday at 2. Let’s talk about how we can take care of each other.” 1/?
