Back from the 2025 Northwoods Gravel Grind. The new bike's inaugural race, and he performed admirably.
The rider however...
I have not been this sore in a looong time. 60km long and over 4 hours in the saddle. Celebrating with pizza. My fitness coach can hush; I worked my ass off for this pie.

RIP, my beloved 2023 Polygon Path X4. Developed a crack in the frame weld joining the seat and top tubes during the 2025 Rose Mountain Rumble. The perfect way to go out.
Lost 20lbs riding this bike. Might not even try for warranty; could just mount his frame on the wall.

Words simply were not invented to fully capture the motion picture experience I've just been subjected to. Images and a short prayer will have to suffice.
Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.
So mote it be.
Amen.

I'm a bit of a fan of horrible films. Think: the stuff that gets the MST3K or Rifftrax treatment.
And this right here is the greatest tiger mauling scene of all time. OF. ALL. TIME, *micdrop*

My kitty had his first vet visit, and he handled it like a champ. But, as expected, I am currently on the shitlist with him, and I owe him tons of treats. Everything checks out, no health issues, hexes, or vampirism.
He already had Resting Scowl Face™. It's now upgraded to Enhanced Scowl Face™.

The living room is my cat's safe spot. He sleeps there, plays there, gets his treats there. Forward Operating Base Beeko, as it were.
So, I've been sleeping there on the bean bag to bond with him some more. Turns out, I now prefer sleeping there. Haven't spent a night in my real bed for a week.

It's nearly 40 °F right now. In Maine. In February. You know what that means?
M'aiq, my brother in Akatosh, you're seeing Mainers, not Nords. Or maybe Mainers are Nords? This one is confused; this one needs a sweetroll.

Whew!
I haven't presented/defended a website design to a client since the late 90s (when the Earth was still cooling and dinosaurs roamed freely). Feels good to step out of my comfort zone. Just a little.
Since that time, I've been squarely buried in the code side of web development.

Spent a lovely evening repeatedly throwing myself off the Skyreach bridge in Craglorn.
Why? Current golden pursuit task for reviving players. A whole gaggle of us were yeeting ourselves to our doom. What a lovely community!

My cat's unusual eye "mascara" makes it appear as though he's furious. No, he's just disapproving. Of me. Of all hoomans.
Happy one month anniversary, Beeko.
Forgive me for my failures and shortcomings, my liege.

One week anniversary of adopting Beeko. The progress he's made is amazing, but we still have a long way to go before he's his best Beeko self.
He's gone from hiding in the spare bedroom to sleeping on the couch and coming over for aggressive headbumps.

My house has been sans cat for 80 days. I brought home this monster yesterday. Now, my house is a home once again.
His name is Beeko, Argonian for "friend." He's incredibly shy, but very calm and gives good head bumps. And he's huge, the biggest cat I've ever had.
