Looking Dapper AF, as the kids say, today.

It’s me, wearing a white button up shirt which has a brown and grey plaid pattern. I e also got on a wooden bow tie, and a scally cap featuring blue, grey, and green patches.

Trying to get a “Fire Dan Wilson” chant going, but it’s not catching on.

Four pitches away and then off-speed at the feet. Nasty.

Game cast screen shot depicting a strikeout. Andres Munoz had four pitches away from Nicky Lopez, then the fifth comes inside and low, getting a swing and a miss.

Not exactly optimistic that these guys will lead to a comeback:

Mariners due up in the 9th: Patrick Wisdom, Connor Joe, and Mitch Garver. They are a combined 0-7 tonight.

Reader, would you believe me that this highlight is NOT Randy Arozerana’s ninth double of the year, hit on a line drive to center fielder Byron Buxton?

A misleading screenshot that promises to show a Randy Arozerana double. The video is not of that base hit.

What a gutsy win for the Kraken!

This is beautiful. I’ve been watching this for hours.

The Mariners won and the vibes are immaculate.

Duke, winning the ACC without Cooper Flagg.

Darth Helmet from Spaceballs says,Now you see that evil will always triumph, because good is dumb.” Also dumb: hating Duke. Go Devils!

I went for a hike today AND finished listening to a book on whales. Living my best life, as well as I can.

Fitness apps really need to not send you a reminder to workout after you’ve worked out:

You know that comic that says, “This book traumatized me. Here, you read it.”? Well… #clifi #scifi #books #amreading

The book After World by Debbie Urbanski. The cover is mostly black, with spotted orange-gold dots of varying sizes, looking like sparks or stars. The text on the book is a greenish grey and is slightly out of focus. This a design choice by the cover artist.

What a great win and a great roadtrip!

Couldn’t watch the game but…

A boxing diagram that instead of telling you which each punch says instead That’s Kraken Hockey Baby. Thats is under a jab, Kraken is under a cross, Hockey is under an uppercut, and Baby is under a hook.

Loved my new Lord of the Rings headband. Made for an epic workout. Could probably defend Helm’s Deep now.

The trilby would also be solid. Could see it as a good hiking hat.

My dad used to wear a Greek Fisherman’s hat, and I always kind of liked it:

Thinking about getting myself an official old man hat when I turn 40…maybe a scally cap?

The win probability chart doesn’t capture how drunk the game was, but still quite the swing.

Win probability chart for the Seahawks-Jets game that shows the Jets with a 92.7% chance to win at one point in the game before the Seahawks came back to win.

Today’s #kayak session featured smooth water.

Lake Stevens is calm, with smooth water reflecting the partly cloudy sky.

Calm waters on Lake Stevens this morning. #kayak

Recently finished Annihilation, the first book of the Southern Reach trilogy. Fun book with creepy vibes. Can’t wait to read the next one.

That’s Kraken Hockey, Baby! Big win! Big two points!
