Dad, nurse, poor ukulele player, want to paddle all of the lakes, bake and eat all the sweets, ride my bike fast, run not as fast, losing at table tennis to my kids
Pinned
In our house, we play pinochle, but got tired with teams being Mom and Thomas vs Dad and James. Now we each come up with compatible parts of speech. In tonight's game, the Micro Hampsters are beating the Apocolyptic Horse Flies.
I wish I had a magic poop button. Some of my patients just REALLY need to poop. I wouldn't use it often... well, maybe if I saw a group of #ICE goons, but otherwise I'd just clear SBOs.

I hate it. I hate that my oldest feels things are so bad that he needs to walk out of school and march to the capital. I hate that my youngest is crying in his room, worried that #ICE could kill his brother.

It seems like everything in Minnesota is terrible right now. I am in a horrible mood being both tired and mad.
But at least there is #sumo. Fantastic match between Wakatakakage and Takayasu. C'mon WTK, keep earning me some fantasy sumo points.
Day2
Sw Takayasu 1-0 (L)
M2 Wakatakakage 0-1 (R)
WTK does a great job keeping Yasu off his belt here. This basho is Yasu’s first sekiwake rank since Hatsu 2023. #hatsubasho2026

Out shopping, and find that I'm not the only one purchasing foam core poster board and fat markers.

When volunteering at your kids' school and you come across the mascot costume while getting more snacks for concessions, there is only one thing to do.

Fantasy #sumo bracket for Hatsu 2026. Agonized for far too long on the middle rows.

James failed his first driving test on Sunday. I told him he could take part in the time-honored tradition of badmouthing the test administrator to his friends.

Then, I suddenly had a flashback from the 90s about teenagers complaining about the Eau Claire administrator known to all as Hook Nose.

Driving six hours to Thunder Bay, ON in late February is reasonable to go see Five Alarm Funk (may the funk be with you), right?

Fantasy #sumo draft party at Moto-I in #Minneapolis. I am going to be thoughtful in my draft instead of making choices based on vibes, how nice their smile is, or size of their traps.

You should probably go see Suburban Sasquatch at @trylon.org put on by #TrashFilmDebauchery. You won't regret it.

What was the last movie or TV show you watched in 2025?

Why is it that all the truck stops I've been at in the last week have cases full of glass figurines for sale. Do truckers love glass angels and glass dragons?

Driving through the western Dakotas, looking at these big prairie hills, and all I can think is that they would be great sledding hils.

Speaking of which: Sled Fest!

You are forced to have the job of the main character of the last book you read.

I am a Welsh monk in 12th century England who manages the abby herbarium and solves murders.
I run an adorable little inn somewhere in rural England. Sangu Mandanna, "The Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping."
I'm the head magic teacher at a British boarding school.

I love #Minnesota deep in my heart, but why does my home have to be so flat? I don't particularly want to move to #Montana, but mountains are pretty great.

Big family trip to ski in Montana. Considering that I am feeling winded going up the stairs where we're staying at an elevation of 6300', I am going to struggle tomorrow when I am on skis and even higher.
Woe unto the Minnesota boy in the mountains.

The guy who destroyed the Wuollet bakeries, A Baker's Wife, and other legacy bakeries in the #TwinCities died. It's probably impossible to undo the damage he did. I mourn the loss of what A Baker's Wife once was.

And lo that holy night, a light shone from above accompanied by bells. The people looked and heard a cry, "I need my Dilaudid!"
May all the healthcare workers and #nursing staff who are providing the best care to their patients today have a wonderful day.

Dave of @sumomainichi.bsky.social is discussing injuries, and Onosato's shoulder, when he says, "The tape is just the earthly manifestation of our faith in the #sumo gods."

All things are possible through tape. May the tape be with you.
