I knew about it before I bought the house. But holy hell I hate air show week in Sacramento. I’m a poor judge of distance but these jets are screaming around at what has to be less than 1,000 feet. I can see pilot hands from my yard.

I’m four(?) weeks in to my first fantasy football season in about a decade. My god I forgot why I quit in the first place. I hate this so much and all the things I didn’t like about it are so much worse now. I’m just gonna bench all my players and log out for the season.

It was the furnace in the basement of Home Alone. After seeing that I never went in the basement at my grandparent’s house again.

Second powerplay getting meaningful time leads to a goal. The coaches have learned some.

Halfway through trying to decide if Last Year Broncos over-achieved or if this year’s Broncos regressed I gave up and decided it’s both.

I am absolutely livid that my employer’s mandatory training on GenAI included WRITING EMPLOYEE LETTERS OF REC as an example of appropriate use.

8U hockey is hilarious. The skill levels are so varied and games are dominated by two types of kids: go fast and that one kid that figured out how to use their backhand.

Had a super valid crash out at work today. Felt like a project was spinning out of control. Ten minute call with a colleague got it sorted out and back to manageable. Talk to your people, they know how to help.

I’m part of a union that’s laying groundwork to go on strike. Brings me back to the multiple strikes I participated in during grad school.

Nothing has put into sharp relief how different my mom and I are as how much we have argued over the thermostat for the last two weeks while she stayed with us.

My wife and I get to have our first date night in forever. We don’t have local friends or family (our village is online) so it’s really hard to justify a date and a babysitter for the kids. But my mom is visiting, so date night is an option.

I have been slowly removing a hedge like bush from in front of the house because it gets overgrown so fast and I can never keep up with it. It has taken me 8 weeks of cutting as much as I can and filling our green waste bin…. But I finished it today. Now to figure out what we want to do in that spot

Human hearing is absolutely wild. I cannot understand a thing people say to me in a mildly noisy room. But I can hear a single mosquito buzzing around the bathroom from the kitchen.

Random guy at a public pool just tried the wildest conversation opener with me. “How you doing? Just ok? We’re here and not doing drugs. Isn’t that the best?” This is why I try hard not to meet people.

I regret to inform you that people who go to the gym first thing in the morning are on to something. My days are so much better when I’m not trying to coordinate after work gym time.

And yet again the @avalanche.bsky.social have an away game on Black Friday. I seem to recall McGahey saying they have never been home on Black Friday.
