Worst goalkeeper in Portland in 1981, blog with seven followers. Yet to run out of excuses to travel. Threatening to podcast, so don’t muck with me.

tonight while recording a guest spot on a podcast i experienced an unacceptable level of disrespect from one of the hosts. so i decided to do what felt right for me and i left. i didn’t need to stick around to show i’m “tough” or “thick skinned.” i reminded myself that no one is owed my time.

A study on 1.7 million people in Hong Kong shows superior hybrid immunity to Covid in people who got vaccinated before infection vs. people who got infected first. "Our findings are a direct rebuttal to arguments for natural immunity," the authors write. doi.org/10.1016/j.va...

Just assume I posted all the pics from 10 years ago. Because damn! #RCTID
But there was Nutcracker today, taking out our friend to dinner, and I’m spending more time actually putting project 1 together, which takes up more of my photo searching time these days.

If I say I’m going to disturb Merlo Field…
…and instead something there disturbs me…
…do I, like, need a karma reset? Do I need to sacrifice something? Do I need to curse some blade of grass that enabled a 45-yard (or so) game loser?
WTELF?!?!

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

My wife got a scary cute text. I scrubbed the Hellsite stink off of it.

Incredible.
I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

My wife’s takeaway from the Duck win is that she really wants to see Puddles petting the shades-wearing malamute.

Nah, we’re too tired to boycott shopping today.
Yes, there’s a wink in there. Maybe 40 of them.

I suspect we are, probably for our own mental health, underestimating the degree to which the Trump administration is dominated by the worst swingers imaginable
Call me old fashioned, but aren’t both parts of this relationship currently, uh, married to other people?
So many crazy details in Ben Terris's story about Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski, who we can confirm are not only dating but running DHS together: nymag.com/intelligence...

Grateful for my first physical senior moment being benign.
Using toothpaste on an itchy spot on my shin seems better than brushing my teeth with Cortizone-10.

Don’t worry about the MLS 2026 schedule already being out. NWSL won’t put one out until 3 days before the season starts.

To be clear: Trump is only calling for the GOP to release the Epstein files because he was told he’s about to lose 150+ republicans on this vote.

Is it silly of me to think that one reason Bill Clinton wasn’t hauled before a judge WHEN TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT 2017-2021 is because Trump didn’t want to set a precedent?
If Bill Clinton's implicated, I'll simply have to burn my Bill Clinton shrine with all my Bill Clinton baseball caps and my Bill Clinton Bibles and my Bill Clinton t-shirts and my Bill Clinton playing cards and my Bill Clinton gold-plated coins and my Bill Clinton flags and my Bill Clinton shoes.
