Tickets for Reykjavik booked today! Two weeks on a motorcycle this summer all over Iceland.

The focus is on bitter currently. “The theory of democratic government is not that the will of the people is always right, but rather that normal human beings of average intelligence will, if given a chance, learn the right and best course by bitter experience.” -W.E.B. Du Bois (From A.Word.A.Day)

Finished this today. Fascinating and engaging story of Marcus Elliot and his company P3. You won’t think about movement, exercise, rehab, glute & hips, or sports training in the same way ever again. Highly recommend for anyone moving around with intention.

Finished this quick read earlier this week - The White Darkness, David Grann. A must read for Shackleton fans. Story of Henry Worsley, grandson of Endurance survivor Richard Worsley. A testament to human nature and spirit of adventure. Grann’s The Wager is also an excellent story worth picking up.

Shower beer, I love you. 🍺😍 Well deserved after 5 mile hilly trail run. I’d like to talk to whoever thought that was a good idea.

Quick trip across the state to celebrate my dad‘s 85th birthday.

I’m happy I raised album kids and not playlist kids.

Sitting a table away from a person who has chewed every bite with an open mouth. It’s really troubling. Really.

Sometimes dreams come true.

Feels like a “treat yourself” day developing. 🥩🍸

Not a God guy, and yet . . .

Here’s a reminder of how batshit crazy our world is. It was LITERALLY this week that our president said that China would take hockey away from Canada. That’s insane. And yet we’ve all moved on to new horrors and stupidity. Can you stop this world? I want to get off.

All my dillies, dallied.

This is easily the hardest thing I've ever had to write.

Celebrating national pizza day with a second meal composed of pizza.

The NFL announces that next year's Super Bowl halftime performer will be Zohran Mamdani.

Hate to wonder this, but does anyone else think that Bad Bunny had on bulky tops throughout because he was wearing a lightweight bulletproof vest?

That was an awesome Halftime Show. 👏👏👏

More compelling, twisted, imaginative, wonderful writing from George Saunders.

Stevie Ray Vaughan (1984)

I want to go to there.

What’s it like dating me?

Could there be a better piece of music for a Sunday morning, coffee and fire? tidal.com/album/279716...

Talking Heads' Once in a Lifetime was released 45 years ago! I could swear the '80s were only 20 years ago!

Two very “Bluesky” fortunes after Thai food.

The day cannot come soon enough . . . 🥂🍾

This would suggest that I must be in want of a wife. I’ll add that to my list for the week.

Some days are great. Some days are not. This would be a not. Thankfully, tomorrow is another day.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Our demand is clear: [DHS] Secretary Kristi Noem, who was responsible for carrying out the policy that led to Alex’s needless killing, and Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, the architect of that policy, must resign immediately. If they refuse, President Trump must dismiss them.

All 12,000 can fuck off right into a black hole never to be seen again.

Everything is terrible and it’s getting worse every day.

Or, as RFK Jr calls it, “a new swimming hole.”

Leaving a funeral service and headed to the reception. It’s a big reminder to enjoy our lives and loved ones while we can; to appreciate our precious days and the connections that make them worthwhile and bring us joy.

Finished this last night. Entertaining & dark. Great first novel.

Be still my beating heart . . .

You are so much used to live alone, that you do not know the value of a companion; #JaneAusten #Emma

Just in case there was a doubt, I can now confirm that we are living in the dumbest possible timeline.

Inversion said what?

Finished this. A reminder that kindness always has an important place in our community and connections.

It is not what we think or feel that makes us who we are. It is what we do. Or fail to do. ~ Jane Austen Sense and Sensibility

Just booked a 3-day trip. Flights, car, hotel, and two meals with friends all arranged. It will be good to escape the real world for a bit.

Good grief
