Why Am I Not In Italy?

Sono vecchio, grasso, e lento.
I also need another tattoo. Or piercing. Or both.

Been listening to a good number of #Audiobooks lately but did pick up the new #Dresden book by #JimButcher in its physical form. I love having books but they remind me of one indisputable fact: I am a slooooow reader.

My son is in to #Warhammer Kill Team, and I have very recently picked up a set of miniatures to build and play with his group. I've been told one of the cool things is #PaintingWarhammer, however as a #Colorblind individual I don't think I'll enjoy that particular aspect very much.

Because my employer prohibits me from making specific types of statements on social media, I will post something unrelated to what I really want to say.
I’m currently waiting at the barber shop for a #beard trim and listening to a number of people getting a lot wrong about #politics right now.

Mikko hopes everyone had a great #Caturday except for the squirrel she is watching so intently. That thing is lucky it’s on *that* side of the glass door.

Hard to get in the #HolidaySpirit when there are so many families torn apart by this administration. Add on to that so many more facing the loss of their healthcare as subsidies expire. Not sure about you, but I’d rather my #taxes be used to help people, not corporations.

#NotreDame vs #Pitt today. Put another way, my favorite and second favorite college teams going head to head. I want both of them to come out victorious for different reasons. Irish to stay in playoffs and Pitt to remain in #Top25.

Disappointed in my senator today. Not a fan of doing my essential job without pay but at least I felt like I was doing it so millions of other people didn't lose access to affordable health care. This 'compromise' for a future vote which could easily be ignored by the House feels like a betrayal.

Today is my #Birthday.
Last year I spent it in #Italy, wandering the streets of #Parma. This year, due to the uncertainty surrounding the government shutdown I am spending it wondering if I have enough in savings should it go on for an extended period of time.
Stay safe my friends.

A long (long long) time ago I began reading books in a series by #TerryPratchett called #Discworld. I read, physical books, up to the 8th book (Guards! Guards!) before life and the military got in the way. I just started listening to them again, and have just finished 'Eric'. Looking forward to more

Leg three of our #baseball cycle took us to Norfolk to watch the #TripleA #NorfolkTides play against the #NashvilleSound. Only a slight smattering of rain got through a lot of Virginia saw heavy storms. Nashville won the game but was still a great evening fire baseball. Traffic was bad getting there

1st - Single A Game (Fredericksburg Nationals)
2nd - Double A Game (RIchmond Flying Squirrels)
3rd - Triple A Game (Norfolk Tides)

Washing Nationals are close but I would love a game in #Cincy if possible

#RennFaire today. My kids (all adults) wanted to do gender swap costumes. With legs like mine I was all for it. Tons of compliments on the outfit and makeup, which was done by my youngest daughter.
