I woke up just now (4am) with a Charley horse in my right calf. I can't remember the last time that happened; I think it's been years. I guess I didn't drink enough water yesterday (which tracks).

Now I'm ruminating on the name, Charley horse. What an odd thing to call a leg cramp. It's like […]

I experienced an unsettling moment earlier today when I was watching a show on Amazon Prime. One of the ads that came on was ostensibly just an interaction between humans; nothing CGI or anything like that.

I've resisted getting a smart watch for many years. I don't wear watches in general and the category has always seemed unnecessary to me.

I received a #NickelCreek LP for #Christmas. It's always funny to me when a 12" LP is recorded at 45 RPM and the first song is instrumental and I don't notice it until a song with singing starts playing. Had the same experience recently with a #SigurRos LP that I swear doesn't say 45 anywhere on […]
