I do not recommend transatlantic flights when you have a sinus infection. 0/10

The best food I've gotten at a ballgame in a *long* time was a quarter-pound hotdog last summer at a local college-age wood bat summer league game.

Remembering Some Guys in the office with my 24-year-old coworker today. Felipe Paulino, Bruce Chen, and Mitch Maier, to name a few.

I've done just over 1,000 miles -- 15 hours + pit stops -- in one day, solo, twice. From my hometown to Blackfoot, Idaho, where I was working at the time. Once after returning for my grandma's funeral, then after returning for a cousin's wedding (the first on that side of the family).

Pumpkin was sleeping in the window of the garage when we got home from grocery shopping. She woke up to pose for a photo.

I went to the local Department of Aging for an interview for an article today, and when I left I was a few minutes older than when I got there, so A+ for truth in naming.

Sure, I'll give this a go.

I have acquired corned beef for tomorrow!

My wife and I are probably going to be looking at replacing a lot of our cookware in the not-too-distant future, and I really want to get stuff that will work really well and last a long time. So I'm looking for recommendations of specific pots and pans or sets.

I'm an English muffin guy. Perfect size to fit sausage, egg, and cheese on, and the right size for breakfast.

I will forever remain convinced $4 gas played a way bigger role than the Iraq War in Dems winning a triad in 2008.

What athletes expression will stay with you the rest of your life?

One polling place, on the edge of town and normally serving one town precinct plus a township, only had four ballots cast today. Imagine spending a 12-hour shift as an election worker for four votes.

It feels weird being alone in the newsroom on an election night. Not that it takes a lot of people to report on the results of a single yes/no ballot question. But still weird.

I am being trolled by @samreich.bsky.social, but doing my best to troll him back just as hard.

The duality of cat.

The weather is beautiful today, 78F and not too windy, so I just went looking for folks enjoying the day and found a dad teaching his kids skateboarding. He told me he really wanted to help them be braver about getting out of their comfort zones.

An excellent loaf

We finally got together with my family after the Christmas gathering was canceled due to illness. It was good to see everyone, and despite the nieces and nephews getting older and pickier about gifts, I think this year we did really well on gift-giving.

Pumpkin, our outdoor calico, has my favorite happy meow. It's two distinct syllables. The best way I can think to transcribe it is "myeh-OWW"

While we're discussing bands' signature songs, what's your pick for Garbage?

Post your contextless photoshops.

It is time! Starting strong with Harvey Grant.

I'm going to open this after I get back from learning about Irish road bowling, hopefully no later than 3 p.m. Central.

Preview for tomorrow:

Tonight my wife took me out for a giant burrito and The Princess Bride on retro movie night at the theater. She is a keeper.

When my then-fiancée moved in, she insisted on waiting 5 minutes to cut pizza after it comes out of the oven. It's silly, but I love her, so I acquiesced. Anyway, it's been several years since I last burnt the roof of my mouth.

I do not care about drafts. Let me schedule skeets so I don't have to remember *on* March 31st to post this.

Caught up on Dunk & Egg, then my wife asked me to refresh her on some setting details. That led to a winding explanation, eventually leading to Jenny of Oldstones and Jenny's Song. I don't know how it took me until now to realize how long the lyric "from winter to summer then winter again" implies.

Mystery Men

Just confirmed, my nephew is going to play D2 CFB. Southwest Baptist in Missouri.

My wife and I swapped some leftovers with friends this week, pot roast for chicken and noodles. That was a great idea. The pot roast made way too much for us, and this way we didn't have so much that we got tired of it, and we got great leftovers in return. 10/10, would recommend.

Anyone have a favorite store-bought salsa verde? I'm making carnitas for a dinner party Saturday.

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42. Post the second sentence. cellophane Formerly a trademark, now a generic term.

Here's my latest completed model for D&D, an NPC for my Kingmaker campaign. Built from the Frostgrave Wizards and Wizards II kits, made by @northstarfigs.bsky.social. The mold line on the left arm bothers me a little in this closeup, but it's not nearly as noticeable IRL.

It is neither the river I grew up closest to (the Little Blue), nor the river nearest where I feel at home now (the Arkansas, pronounced "Arkansas," but the Kansas River is still my home river.

No leftovers in the fridge today, so what should I get for lunch?
