Thanks for the follow.
My last decent post was back in 2012.

Once you’re over forty, a bad day can be improved with a nap, or a bowl of the premium fro yo... even a good fart. All three will send your body into shock though. Be careful.

A haunted house but it’s just someone saying “Let’s go around the room and share one fun fact about ourselves.”

At my family doctor to review all my recent tests, hospital visits and procedures..

she opens the files on her computer, starts reading the results and reports, sighs and says, "It's a lot."

I know, I was there.

A day after a hospital visit, my phone rings with call display indicating it's my doctor.

With so many people unable to find a family doctor, I am fortunate to have one who regularly follows up with me and can usually see me reasonably soon, if needed.
I don't take this for granted. 🙏

Apparently my doctor didn't want me to come in to talk about my Love 💕 results.

Anyway, the Voice to Text messages sent to me are often not what was actually said.

I didn't get in my quota of complaining yesterday. Now I have to add the missed complaints to today's and this is really going to mess up the schedule.

I'm counting this towards the quota.

I think people don't realize we're at 1.6 million because you can't leave your house in this city without bumping into someone you know. Seriously, Calgary is the biggest small town ever.

Jason Markusoff @markusoff.bsky.social · 3d

Calgary’s suddenly a few years away from a population milestone planners had expected to come by mid-century. I don’t think ppl realize we’re already a 1.6M city.
By me:

ANALYSIS | Calgary is racing to 2 million people. Will next council prepare for it? | CBC News

City's population has hit 1.6M far faster than expected. City hall will face pressure to manage continued growth and the strains that come with it.

Darn family members who care about us. 🙄

Follow the yellow line.
#Photography

A paved pathway stretches into the distance, flanked by rows of trees with golden-yellow leaves.

The pathway appears to be relatively straight with a single yellow line marking the center.
The trees line both sides of the pathway, creating a tunnel-like effect. Fallen leaves are scattered across the pavement.
Above the trees, a blue sky is visible with scattered white clouds.

I have been informed that it is only Wednesday and not Thursday.
My schedule is in chaos.

DB 🇨🇦 @rebelliousdb.bsky.social · 1d

Sure, it's all medical stuff in your calendar, but at first glance it does look like you have quite the social life.
I can relate to this too much. 😕

I might be willing to take the moral high ground more often if it weren't for my debilitating vertigo.

"Oh, you and your wife have different last names?"

My wife was okay with me keeping my name when we married.

Asking a dude if he would ever take his partner’s last name eliminates a large portion of red flags at the outset of dating tbh

If you feel a disturbance in the force in Edmonton today, it’s because two librarians named Jen Waters are at the same conference. I haven’t met her yet but this is my only goal over the next two days.

Yikes. Clearly I am moving forward through time faster than I realized.

The team already shares disdain for corporate management, especially those suggesting team building, so any further team building efforts are kind of redundant.

2025 Corporations still think Team Building Exercises is a good idea.

"I know, let's take a bunch of people who work in the same space, who have zero job overlap and make them talk to each other." 👍

I haven't done one in 10 years and the last one, I never spoke to those people again.
