Sometimes I write, sometimes I lift heavy things. Minneapolis based. I talk about music and food a lot.
My day at @theuncannyexp.bsky.social was more of an Alpha Flight Experience today, thanks to 2 hours of panels by @maconfleetwood.bsky.social and @whynotpodcast.bsky.social, and a whole buncha AF goodies from Excelsior Embroidery! Not bad, eh.

It’s been a crummy week. Maybe not the worst week on record, but still crummy. Even the weather sucks. But this morning I realized I’ve been lifting regularly for a year now…and that’s something good, yeah?

Walked into my local wrecka stow for the new Stereolab and walked out with a lovely reissue of a severely out of print Gary Numan album. Good music geek day.
