TGIF!

Woke up at 4 :15 a.m.

Decided to get an early start on the morning drive due to thunderstorms coming through.

At work listening to the the thunder and watching the lightning show.

Peddle something today.

Ready for 5 p.m.

More severe weather forecasted for tonight.

May get to go racing tomorrow night.

Have a wonderful day!
BTHO bacon bits!!!

Happy Friday!

What's the deal with people taping envelopes shut? (In addition to licking and sealing) Is that an old person thing? I'm seeing a lot of it lately.

Flew into Denver last night. Heading to Keystone here in a little while for the weekend. Family wedding there. No work for me today; I didn't bring my laptop.

Dog walked, Dr Pepper Zero for breakfast. Work. Supposed to get rain this weekend, might lay down some fertilizer first, but still a little early. Need to order some top dressing soil to do some leveling, and may start air sealing and upgrading attic insulation. Also probably need to call someone for poison ivy abatement. Full weekend of fun.

Envelopes themselves are now an old person thing.

60 degrees in west Georgia/east Alabama this morning. Just got coffee made.

57F this morning when I bought my coffee. I have Benny trained now on how to make my coffee, so I don't have to get out of the car. Supposed to be sunny and in the mid 70s today. Another day with open windows, which means happy cats.

  • Been sleeping terribly. This needs to change.
  • At the high school early to bust the glow sticks for the "neon" theme that we decorated the softball locker room for playoffs.
  • Meetings
  • 2 softball games tonight in Cypress. Exact same scenario and team as last year.
  • Probably get home late.
Do the day. Good luck Consol Softball!

In the past 2-3 years literally every single time someone has mailed a paper check to my house it has gone missing. Every single one.

My sister continues to mail Benny cash on his birthday and Christmas (she lives in League City). Scares the hell out of me. Knock on wood, it's never not gotten here.

That actually happened once. It was super weird and we were afraid the wife was going to come burn the place down.

My first thought was maybe he's trying to create an alibi (because I watch too many true crime shows). The only thing I know for sure is the guy is a personal injury attorney in Dallas

You didn't miss anything - I was away for a while.

The bridge run was cool! Nothing like getting together with 40,000 of your closest friends to go for a quick 10K. It was way crowded, and I tacked on a lot of extra distance zig-zagging the uphill part to go around all of the walkers. My fiance wasn't feeling good, and Ubers were like $100 to get off the peninsula + a super long wait so I just ran the extra miles to get home. Between the bridge run and everything else I broke 20 miles for the day.

7/10, will do again next year but hopefully with a qualifying 10K time that will get me in the sub-hour group so I'll maybe be with people who actually run the uphill part of the bridge.

When I worked on-campus in a Vice President's office (1996-2002), our accountant once called a hotel in DC with a question about his bill. Turned out that he never checked in. One of the Director's did some digging and learned that his first wife (who lived in DC) had become his mistress. That's why he was making so many trips there.

BTW, this guy left A&M (under pressure) before I left that office.

I've got an iPod mini that died. Pretty sure it's whatever little drive is in there.

Not sure if there is any hope for it. And the computer it was associated with, back when you had to assign it to one computer to dump music to it, is long since dead.

Stayed home again today. Feeling better but doc had said if I go in to work I would need to mask up in case I was still contagious. No thanks.

Should be good to go tomorrow.

Classmate I've known since 6th grade is riding the MS-150 on a team from his company. He wants to meet at Northgate after the finish on Sunday.

Son is coming in for his birthday this weekend. He turns 25. It went by in a flash between his birth and 25 years.

Registered to win a house. $100 per ticket. They have opportunities in multiple cities. Maybe I can win all over the country and have a rental empire/place to crash so I can be more like JMac and Nervy! They seem smart and stuff!

Need to play guitar. But chores are plentiful so I'm doing those.

Miklos Rosza composed some extraordinary film music. I love his work. I actually have the score for this on my stand in my studio right now.
