@effika I didn’t see one, but I also didn’t look very hard.

Well damn, the 5K race this weekend is full, and I can’t sign up now.

Usually they let you sign up even the day before, but this year is a big anniversary so I guess too many people signed up.

“Ted Lasso” is not that good a show. It’s like Starbursts. I’ll eat a few if you offer them but I’d never suggest it’s “good candy”.

@gruber It's *too* nice at times. Toxic positivity.

Not always, and I do like the show overall. But as I would watch it was just TOO MUCH sometimes.

Contrasted with something like Shrinking that has a similar-ish “positive message" vibe going on. Shrinking handles it all so much better.

So this new house is very quiet overall, a stark contrast to the Goose House where geese were honking all day and night.

And I kinda don't even know what to do with myself. It's been years since I was able to have my own thoughts for more than a minute before being interrupted by noise.

I may become unstoppable.

But yeah, never move to a place that has a pond without checking on what wildlife is in it.

Some #flowers at this new house popped open today.

I haven't touched this backyard yet, so who knows what else will show up.

@effika I have done three NaNos, and I enjoyed them.

But the org can rest in piss for all I care. If I want to write 50,000s in a month my word processor has a word count.

Teams: You have a notification

*I open Teams and look at the new message*

Teams: You still have a new message

Me: No, I'm looking at it. This is it.

Teams: I dunno man…

*I click off the message and then back on to the message*

Teams: OK, NOW you have seen it.

Me: Bruh.

I feel like I have been in a fight with all technology the last couple of days. Nothing seems to want to work correctly.

Moving stuff kinda sucks, but spending all day not paying attention to the news is so good.

The backyard of this place happens to be a cat highway.

I have seen three neighborhood cats today!

I’m moving to a new house this weekend, and may I share the best part of this home?

Does "homegrown criminals" include people with 34 felonies? Asking for a country.

It’s a little hard watching the new #Daredevil series because some things feel like they are hitting too close to home.

Planet Oat - who makes oat milk - has a dark chocolate flavor and it’s so good.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

@effika For what it's worth, my car came with Yokohamas from the dealership. I bought it in late 2018 and haven't had to change them yet.

They have been really good to me so far.

@effika I’m just doing the 5K. I don’t run much anymore versus cycling, so for the last few years I have worked up to run this race then return to being a slug.

Glad to hear you are healing up well!
