Is there a thing such as too much lettuce on a sandwich?
Me thinks not.
The crunch is the best.

Sometimes you just really want home made shrimp tacos for lunch so you spend too much time dicing everything up. #worthit
2 real questions. 1) mango or no mango on shrimp tacos 2) who has figured out how NOT to look like a barbarian eating tacos?

In pickleball and prod mgmt, I learned the same lesson: stop just reacting.
My PB game changed when I started thinking two shots ahead. My favorite play — dink to the edge of the court, which causes my opponent to reach and pop up the ball.
That opens up a big gap and I slam dunk it for the point

We are out on our normal long dog morning walk and I noticed that clove picked up something along the way. Lol
She loooooves tennis balls.
Now she is out here sauntering, tail wagging, tennis ball in tow. She's one happy dog. 😍

Nothing brings me more joy than playing #pickleball with friends, like this afternoon.
Stepping on our community courts is like putting on a warm, cozy pair of slippers. The people are so great. And the games are too.

In a really sad day of news, I wanted to share some happy news. My daughter got engaged yesterday!
Fun story on how they met. My son-in-law set them up on a blind date. Michael and Erich have played on the same (beer league) ice hockey team for years. Now they get to be brother-in-law's too. 😁

Fresh out of the oven on this rainy day ... A sourdough loaf bursting with apple pie filling.
One of my favorites to make!
Ps - it smells so damn good in here right now too. Yummy cinnamon!

How nice of my son's high school ice hockey team to foreshadow the need of a blanket for me at the canes games. And with the same colors! #raiseup

Settling the great space debate once and for all. 🤔
One space or two after a period?
Every major style guide says one. Even your phone autocorrects to one.
Are you a single or double spacer? What do you think when you see double spacing in the wild? 😁
