Cooking a couple trays of baked ziti for a friend’s meal train, walking around Walmart saying “mozzarella” and “ricotta” like I’m Paulie Walnuts.

The Dale Jr. “PANCAKES!” ad will never get old.

what the...

If you're in downtown Nashville please keep an eye out for falling chairs

Doing the one lap shootout thing again huh

Website doesn’t say I can’t bring a pot and a burner into the infield at IMS, interesting.

Happy birthday Bob Dylan

I was scratching Lucy’s back, so she cinnamon rolled and rested her head on top of my hand.

One Red Bull, 13 junky and humid miles, 2 glasses of chocolate milk afterwards. 33 miles on the training week, now time for the blessed cutback week.

When I was a kid, spending $20 (which was my take home pay for mowing my grandparents’ backyard until I graduated to doing their full property myself) seemed like such a big deal, so it’s pretty jarring in adulthood when a casual trip to Walmart for odds and ends costs $30+.

Update: it was fine. Narratively kind of loose, but it did exactly what was on the tin. Knows what it is and what it wants to be.

Sat for the Mandalorian and Grogu. Ali has not seen any Star Wars media in her life. Fascinated to see where this goes after being in a relationship for the better part of two decades.

Trying to shed some excess weight to improve my running performance, so I’m giving vegetarian lunches a try for a few weeks, praying that soaking the beans with kombu means my guts won’t hate me for eating them.

Went to the Asian food store to grab some kombu, and I couldn’t not.

Paying the mortgage means you get to lounge on the couch in just a towel after your shower.

Brewers

I’ve hit my step count in a lot of weird ways, but “stumbling around the bathroom while trying to put my shoes on without sitting down” is up there.

It’s my first World Cup as general manager of the USMNT and everyone keeps telling me what a good job I’m doing.

Never speak to me or my son again.

“Oh, you were trying to stretch? Here? At this time of night?”

KFB, salute, rest in peace.

“Home” by Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes is as millennial as a millennial song gets, but it still feels like a warm hug.

Mods are asleep post Chance

ahahahahahahahahahaha

YERRRRR SHITTIN ME

Not a day goes by without these dudes telling on themselves about how weird they are.

Having the “I’m disappointed in you young man” conversation with a subordinate is the fucking worst.

Let’s do a positivity drive: tell me something good that happened to you today, or something you’re looking forward to. I signed up for my first trail race in over a year after DNSing a 50K in February, and I’m feeling up to the task after a layoff from mental and physical burnout.

Honestly, we should all just go on vacation. Think I’m gonna hop on a flight somewhere out west. New Mexico sounds nice.

Have my annual with my doctor today, so I’m forced into having a slow morning, and you know what? This is nice, I could do with more of these.

Warm and humid with a slight breeze tonight as the sun goes down, my high time of the year is here.

Adventures in yoga: somehow gave one of my feet a Charlie horse while doing the sphinx pose

Today

The 2:30 PM Snickers, CBTM.

I would like to unsubscribe from this current version of reality and revert to a better, alternative one.

Heat index in Baton Rouge is 91 degrees, we’ve already hit “change into running shorts and a dri-fit shirt for my lunchtime walk” status in mid-May, this summer is going to be brutal.

Waffle, sausage, eggs, two cups of coffee, spare dollar goes to the tip.

Tonight I got to see the New Pornographers play songs I’ve been waiting 20+ years to hear (and I’m not even old!), but the wait was 100% worth it.

Alex Palou really might be the best driver on the planet right now just based on his dominance in a spec series.

Missed a step (shoutout to my editor @nikolaidenmark.bsky.social), here’s the full recipe

Sunday public service: I wrote up the egg bites recipe just because it’s been really helpful for me to do this every week, for anyone who needs a quick and easy premade breakfast that doesn’t break the bank.

[/boooooong riiiiiiip] okay I think I understand the All-Star Race format now

Does anyone else feel like the Yellowstone Cinematic Universe popped up overnight

Long run’s over time to crack open a cold one

Eating Chinese takeout and watching Morrtal Kombat (2021), we’ve got peak summer happening over here tonight.

And now it’s time for [/guitar solo] [/Dio voice] 🎶 YAAAAARD WOOOOORRRRK]

Honestly surprised LSU Title Belt Guy™️ managed to get behind the plate for softball’s regional after the fracas he had with some fans in Omaha last year.
