Thank you! It’s taken a hit to get it to where we want it but it’s a vibe. This is the whole area.

I’m not sure there is a much better wake up call in life than joining a slack channel to discuss aging parents.

So I talked about losing weight last week. To hold myself accountable and also to celebrate, I finally am below 290. It’s been a huge struggle so I am so damn happy and proud. Now on to the next goal. I’ll have more updates as I hit lifting PRs and weight goals.

The incredibly vain reason I’m counting calories and lifting is so I can get myself back to a shape I can wear my favorite tech t-shirt. It’s hidden in my closet for years and it’s time to get it back out.

Almost half way done. Incredible book. The way Lincoln navigated the election of 1860 is a true masterpiece.
This, coupled with U.S. Grant’s memoirs, paints a complete picture of the war and how it was managed (and mismanaged).

This is like the fourth downed branch we’ve had to deal with in the little over 3 years of being in this house. This just happened about 30 minutes or so ago. I guess a positive are my noise cancelling headphones are really good
I’m tired boss. I’m so tired.

Respectfully, there’s no need to think if it’s true, it’s factual. I can’t tell you the last time I saw the TNDP part do something and I went “hell yea”.
It should be burned to the ground and start fresh.
This meme gets way too much use in my family text chats.

I’m on a mission to read about as many interesting people in American history as I can.
Already have read about: Grant, Washington, Sherman, and John Lewis
Currently listening to “Mark Twain” by Ron Chernow and reading “The Swamp Fox” about Francis Marion.
Who else should I add to the list?
