I’m not like other influencers. They focus on growing the size of their followers. Meanwhile, I focus on growing the… sighs of my followers. 😎

Finished 'Blood & Ink: a Jazz Age Double Murder That Hooked America on True Crime' by @joepompeo.bsky.social. What a fascinating book! Now reading 'The Martians The True Story of an Alien Craze that Captured Turn-of-the-Century America' by @dhbaron.bsky.social. Stay curious, friends. 💙📚 #Booksky

Is he talking about the United States? Because it sounds like he's talking about the United States.

Years ago, I went out drinking on St. Patrick's Day, so I took a bus home. That may not be a big deal to you, but I've never driven a bus before.  #StPatricksDay

I'll never forget the look on the cashier's face when she scanned the packet of birdseed and I asked her how long it takes for the birds to grow once I plant them. 🦅🦆🦤🦩🦚🪿

Some people get really weird as they get older. Not me, I've always been this way!

Just imagine what 8.3 billion humans could accomplish if we all loved & respected each other.

Didn't realize there was so much Firefly hate. I get the Whedon hate. Didn't know about Baldwin. I'll just say this, there's probably more celebrities who believe at least something different from you, if you knew, you'd be watching listening to a lot less media. This is not a defense of either.

Ok, so... naked running. Apparently, this means running without GPS, music, or any other tech. I wish I'd known this an hour ago.

Most people don't know this, but Ancient Rome was fully remote until Julius Caesar implemented a return to work policy in March, 44BC. And, well, you know... #IdesOfMarch

Finished 'Fortune's Fool: A Chance McCabe Thriller' by Greg Kithe (AKA @barrykgregory.bsky.social)! This was an adrenaline thrill ride from start to finish! Highly recommended! Next up, 'Blood & Ink: a Jazz Age Double Murder That Hooked America on True Crime' by Joe Pompeo. 💙📚 #Booksky

This morning, I made my wife some scrambled eggs. As she was eating them, I turned to her and asked, 'Are they all they were cracked up to be?'

Governments have enemies. Individual humans have people they don't know yet. If we took the time to know one another, we would at least realize we have our humanity in common.

Starting the weekend at LifeSouth Community Blood Centers donating platelets! If you can donate, please do.

Finally! After probably 6 weeks of missing at least one day at the gym each week for one reason or another, and missing all of last week with the crud, I made it all three days this week! Keep on keepin' on!

Seriously.

I felt kinda bad for yelling at my kids today but then remembered some animals eat their children, so honestly I think I'm doing okay...

These can’t be the same knees I ducked walked at MEPS with.

Finished 'Across the Universe: The Past, Present, & Future of the Crossword Puzzle' by @natanlast.bsky.social. Very entertaining tale of the creators, players, & history of crosswords. Next up, 'Fortune's Fool: A Chance McCabe Thriller' by Greg Kithe (AKA @barrykgregory.bsky.social)! 💙📚 #Booksky

I've been off work all week because my pet cow is sick. My boss thinks I'm milking it.

If you eat entire cake without cutting it, you technically only had one piece. Follow me for more diet tips!

Someone asked me the name of the inspector from the Pink Panther movies. I don’t have a Clue, so... I need help.

I finished 'Trust No One' by @jamesrollins.bsky.social last night. Great stand-alone thriller! Now starting 'Across the Universe: The Past, Present, & Future of the Crossword Puzzle' by @natanlast.bsky.social. I've been looking forward to this one for a while. Keep reading, my frinds! 💙📚 #Booksky

Practice the pause. "Because our senses are often wrong, our emotions overly alarmed, our projections overly optimistic, we're better off not rushing into conclusions about anything." — Ryan Holiday, 'The Daily Stoic' 3/7

When this is all over, if we rid ourselves of this cancer on our nation, there will be so much work to do before we can look ahead. Getting back to the status quo of 2024 won't be enough, if it's even possible. Society, and government's role in it & for it, will have to change. Just my two cents.

At this point, if I get picked up by aliens, I'm just going to go ahead and consider it a rescue mission instead of an abduction. 👽 👾

[Me, in the back of a police car] Light's green, you can go.

ETTD, Kristi.

I don't gain weight. I retain delicious memories.

If I'm... reading their lips... correctly, the neighbors are complaining about some creepy guy with binoculars next door.

This week's forecast calls for rane, hale, gails, drissle, thundre, litnin, tawnaydoes and frizzing colde. Just a really bad spell of weather.

I laugh at my own jokes because I am my target audience. You all just happen to be there! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Father: I'm an expert at identifying birds. Son: OK, What about those birds flying over there? Father: Yep, those are birds! 🥸

I'm sick. It's not Covid, RSV, or the flu. I seem to have been struck down by the common cold... 😷 My wife made a delicious home-made chicken noodle soup today. ❤️ PS, I hate being sick. 😭

Why do people wear shamrocks on St. Patrick's Day? Regular rocks are too heavy.

At the gym, I saw a lady on the exercise bike wearing a helmet. So I put on a life jacket and got on the rowing machine next to her.

I finished a couple of short stories by my friend, @barrykgregory.bsky.social, 'Changeling' & 'Slaugh' (Biff Stone: Monster Hunter for Hire) Thursday evening. Highly recommended! Tonight, I started 'Trust No One' by James Rollins. Didn't get too far cause I'm sick as a dog. 😭 💙📚 #Booksky

Back in the chair at LifeSouth Community Blood Centers this morning donating platelets. This is a tangible way I can support my local community. Blood donors save lives.

I think we were all mistaken. Or maybe it was a typo in the press release. Trump's recently announced committee is really the 'Bored of Peace'.

The Epstein files must be incredibly damning for Trump. I weep for humanity.

I say this a lot, but I have some talented friends! I finished reading two of @barrykgregory.bsky.social's stories last night, 'Changeling' & 'Sluagh'. Action! Humor! Monsters! The 70's! These stories just whet my appetite for more Biff Stone! 💙📚 Highly recommended! Thank you, Barry! ##Booksky

I finished 'Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection' by Charles Duhigg. Will work to internalize these lesssons. Next up, a couple of short stories by my friend, @barrykgregory.bsky.social, 'Changeling' & 'Slaugh' (Biff Stone: Monster Hunter for Hire)! 💙📚 #Booksky

Felt like it was time for another longer form post on my blog. I need to write my thoughts down more often. Anyway, here you go! bobolife2.blogspot.com/2026/02/oppr...

I have a pet tree. It's a lot like having a pet dog, but the bark is much quieter.
