I’m tempted by the likes of StoryGraph, Bookwyrm, and even Goodreads, but in the end I default to a list in the back of my latest Moleskine. I just don’t feel the need to organize and optimize that data.
I read some books in 2025. Not sure how many. It was more than some years and less than […]

I was taught this too. Then I learned that (allegedly) the X comes from the Greek spelling of Christos.
In the end it doesn’t matter. It’s an accepted abbreviation

Booked a trip on #acela today. Was supposed to be outbound old train, inbound new Avelia/Acela.
Showed up to find new Avelia waiting. It’s nice, but I’m slightly disappointed. Wanted to wish the old sets fairwell.

Oil changed. Took less time and cursing than usual, and I still have all my blood!
I just wish it wouldn’t ask for service when the temps aren’t supposed to go above 20°F all week.

Ice storm due here tonight. Glad we have 24 hour staffing now, so I should probably be able to sleep through it. Unless things get really bad and Group 1 calls for backup.

I don't do New Year's resolutions. My schedule has just changed to make the gym fit better, so I'll be spinning as often as I can. But that's not a resolution, just regular betterment. I'd've done it in July if the calendar worked out then.

Finally set auto-delete for my toots. I'd been resisting, but I see no point in maintaining a long social media tail anymore.

A few years ago my local car wash replaced 1/2 touch-free lanes with a “Soft Touch” aka scratch-o-matic lane. Seems like that was a poor idea.

Technical debt: my daily routine includes Dishes, Trash, Laundry, Litter boxes, Air (humidifiers/cleaners), and Pellet stove.

Went to a big box store today looking for a bagel slicer. Not a one to be had.
Then I remembered I have a #3dprinter.
Found online, sent to printer right from store. Should be waiting on the bed when I get home. One of the actual wonders of modern life.

Almost bought a used pickup yesterday.
1999 Chevy S10. 4 cyl, manual tans, short cab, short bed. Beige. Wanted to name it Carl.
It sold before I could get there.

When you look at someone’s prolific belligerent toots and think, “Why did I follow this person again?”
It has now been remedied.

I have to deal with a federal database that does this, and it emails you a code *eventually*.

It’s bad enough that I get the IRS scam phone calls at all, but 3 of them in one minute at 0200?!
Who do they think will take them seriously then?
(Doubly muted, but I found them in the morning. They actually left voicemails.)

For the first time in over a decade we have bows on our Christmas presents.
Sadly this is b/c Chai is no longer with us. She would pull them all off and scatter them around the house.
Pleasantly it’s Ravee’s first Christmas with us. We’re hoping for wrapping paper shenanigans.

. @SecritLyfe bought me this Caticorn hand sanitizer holder in the early days of the pandemic. It lights up, and I love it.
Finally ran out of sanitizer for it, so I have to go to Bath & Body Works today. Wish me luck!
