GSP owner/operator. Foul-mouthed. Oxford comma fan. Feminist AF. Blue house in a Red state. Time's tide will smother us all.
But I'm losing my edge
To better-looking people
With better ideas and more talent.
And they're actually really, really nice.
I'm losing my edge.

I have been up on Whidbey Island, and man do I miss the views from when I lived here. It's changed over time but it hasn't been destroyed by growth like Idaho has.

After gaining a couple pounds back, it is time to start up walking 4 miles a day again. That said, I weigh what I did when I was 25 and I'm more than twice as old so "yay me!"

The puppy and I encountered two coyotes on an off-leash walk. She saw them before I did and took off to give chase running under a barbed wire fence in the process. A long blow on my whistle thankfully stopped her pursuit, and she returned, unhurt, to one very relieved owner.

If man is five
If man is five
If man is five

Then the devil is six
Then the devil is six
Then the devil is six
The devil is six

And if the devil is six
Then god is seven
Then god is seven
Then god is seven

This monkey's gone to heaven

This first real snow has blown the puppy's brain. She has been wound up to 9 or 10 for days now. Just an absolute loon and forgetting 80% of what we have trained on every day for these past months.

My daily exercise has gone from a 2 mile walk to a 4 mile walk thanks to the puppy. I know it is a good thing but for my short legs to walk at 4 mph I am speed walking. My regular pace is 3 mph so it takes me over an hour, and she is not great on the leash after about 30 minutes.

When I weigh up the good and the bad of social media, the scales are heavily tilted on the bad side. How we keep the value and ditch or limit everything else is what I am struggling with. The deck is stacked against us by design as outrage leads to more engagement, but I think we all know this now.

If only tonight we could sleep
In a bed made of flowers
If only tonight we could fall
In a deathless spell
If only tonight we could slide
Into deep black water
And breathe
And breathe

Earle: "Your name, please?"
Major Briggs: "Garland. Briggs."
Earle: "Garland. What do you fear most in the world?"
Major Briggs : "The possibility that love is not enough."

Two Dell laptops in two months have both developed hardware problems requiring them to be sent back. What are the odds of that? Dell quality at one point was decent. It's not like I was even travelling unless you count moving from the home office to the home couch to the home bedroom and back.

What people think is okay to do with public spaces here in Idaho never fails to piss me off. Parks are not here for the us to do whatever they want such that the park gets trashed. Pick up your dog's crap, don't break tree limbs, don't litter, and don't rut trails by riding bikes when it is wet.

Ten years ago I was snowboarding at least 30 days per year. I was looking at the snowy peaks today and couldn't imagine wanting to do that now. The difference in pain between my 40s and my 50s has been staggering. My body never used to stay hurt and now it does.

I have managed to lose 20 lbs since getting the puppy in September. She turns into a nightmare if she doesn't get at least one big walk per day, thus my daily exercise regime has increased dramatically. Most of my clothes feel baggy now.

We did our Xmas tradition of watching Terry Zwigoff's "Bad Santa" (director's edition). It's the filthiest Xmas movie ever, and still makes me laugh 20 years later.

But Christmas falls late now, flatter and colder
And never as bright as when we used to fall
All this in an instant before I can kiss you
A woman now standing were once there was only a girl

We rented the 2024 movie "Good One" tonight and liked it a bunch. Quietly powerful is how I would describe it. If you like independent movies for adults with excellent acting and cinematography you might try it. The rogerebert.com review for it gave it 4/4 stars if you value their film criticism.

Went for a dog walk with a neighbor this morning. We have talked in passing for years now, and this was the first time we did something together. She is very nice, liberal, and married to a woman whom I have seen but not met yet. Hopefully we will have some new neighbor friends to do things with.

We had three days of rain. Everything is soggy and with loads of standing water. The puppy decided to check out a 20" culvert on our walk. Before I could stop her she got inside with just her head above the water. I had a tense minute before she turned and swam her way out none the worse for wear.

Not sure how I live in Seattle for decades. We have three days of rain here and lose all motivation. Seattle to me was the beautiful, interesting person you fall in love with who is sick eight or nine months out of each year.

WTF...twice today she forgets that she needs to pee outside. She is so good about letting us know, and then today I have the paper towels and carpet cleaner out. Also never, ever forget to drain and flush your carpet cleaning machine after use...so damn nasty.

I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want that.
