I logged 1000 laps at the Y today (1006), which is 28.4 miles because America refuses to adopt the metric system. I did a hundred or so more laps outside over the summer, which is enough to get it over 1000 metric laps, or 50km.

Tomorrow I'll log 1000 days sober.

The many bikes to get through childhood. I've gotten my daughter her last kid bike. At some point in high school, she'll get an adult bike. She went from trailer to balance bike, through those shown.

I've started subsistence hunting. As an eater of moderate amounts of meat, I want to get away from factory farmed meat as much as I can. Rabbit is ecologically sustainable, and deer have become a pest species due to our eradication of wolves from this area. This is my first kill with my bow.

Two years clean and sober today. I started at AA and worked the steps. I don't regret anything I've done with the program and my life is immeasurably better now.

Sometimes I think, it would be nice if I could drink. But I can't, and that's ok.

Anyone near Dayton Ohio, definitely check out the Silos. It lives up to the hype for sure.

Nothing says first day of spring like chance of rain and freezing overnight.

My uncle has metastatic stomach cancer. He's been having strokes related to the chemo, and the prognosis is bad. I had cancer when I was 25, and practically as fit as a person could be. By the end, I couldn't walk. My odds had been 60% better than his are now.

Idk, this just sucks.

My new car (as of July) does not have a CD player. Hyundai are clearly all pushing a future I don't want to be in. Regardless, my only working CD drive is in a mostly dead laptop which I'm now using to rip my entire collection to put into personal cloud storage. OHMYGOD I have so many CDs.

Trans people exist. They deserve the same rights as all other people.

Queer people exist. They deserve the same right as all other people.

Black lives matter.

People deserve not to die at the hands of the police, at the hands of medical negligence, of preventable poverty.

Mache dich mein Herze rein
As night shades wither this night
No rage but weep at the dying of the light
Mein Leben, mein Leiben, mein...

what can we hope but to understand,
to try, to communicate,
indeed to dance, to sing
make art, make love.

The ripples of wind over your arm from the car window,
your fingers waving, can you feel it?

...
yet, for me
the true light of the shimmering skies
is easier to see
with the optic assist
of your caring lips
and each wavelets ripple
does smoothly soothe with
my skin as your skin
and I feel it moreso
because of this
