iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

No, Luna is not spoiled at all. Tonight she hit the Trifecta…. Brenna sat with her and pet her for a half hour while I sat with the dogs upstairs. An hour later I let Johann try and sit in for me for the nightly cheese date, which she gladly let him. Then an hour later she and I had a cuddle date.

In 60 days since heart attack I have gotten A1c down fr 12.8 to 6.4, running again like life depends on it (it does) Cholesterol has always been good, but - losing weight (mostly visceral fat) with 5mile run and 3.5mile walk I HAVE to drink a liter of protein choc ice cream shake or GF will be mad!

And just like that I will never buy another Epic Game again.

Had a great walk with the pups today. But since it rained all day yesterday, not only could they not get a walk, but the town couldn’t have its parade. Of course it goes right past our house, so we just joined in!

When I was forced out of my lab, I was able to continue researching because of Morphosource. I would not be a scientist right now if it wasnt for this incredible resource.

Social scientists: Read this, share this. Some day it will be time to reconstruct the state, and rebuild its capacity... and should the people developing and directing that capacity want to be just and effective, they'll need insights provided by high quality social scientific studies.

Oreo has reclaimed the @devenrue.com/Critical Role map blanket. Mac WAS snuggling under and on it a bit ago, but went to investigate a noise, and Oreo took his opportunity. When Mac returned he nudged Oreo & looked at him with a hint of sadness before flopping down to nap.

I've always been captivated by the "Freedom" sculpture on Vine St., of a figure breaking free of a wall in 4 stages, with the final figure on the sidewalk, arms outstretched and faced lifted. I think it makes our city more interesting, which is the most any of us who love Philly can hope to do. 🧵1/3

What was supposed to be a “short dog walk for Mac” quickly turned into a relatively easy run when he saw I still had on my running tights and my (now retired) road shoes. His excitement and energy was a bit contagious. Fortunately he is responding well to the training we started for canicross. Fun!!
