Today would have been my wife’s 70th birthday. I took her some special flowers and her favorite cupcake.

Went for a walk today with my camera, and happened upon this groundhog having a little snack :)

OMG. 29 years ago I put an Easter egg in Duke Nukem 3D Mac, that replaced two of the in-game posters with pictures of a couple plush animals I had. I never told anyone other than my wife about the code (DNGLENDA) and completely forgot I did this. 1/2

Finished another classic Mac cross-stitch project, recreating the splash screen from the “Alice“ chess game, Through the Looking Glass. The last photo is the original Mac graphic I based the pattern on. Even nailed the stray pixels 🙂. It’s 1 to 1 pixels to stitches. #NerdStitch

Cross-stitch of black stitches on white background, man in robes playing chess with a checkerboard floor and columns to the sides. The words “Through the Looking Glass” and “by Steve Capps” at the bottom.

Did a little triathlon in Rockford, Illinois this weekend- Ironman 70.3. I wore my Rockford Peaches outfit for the run, it seemed appropriate 🙂

It was a frozen day in Whoville, but still had fun running the Run Santa 5k. I met the Grinch (and yes, that's the Weinermobile behind us!) and got some treats.

For some reason this popped into my mind today, nothing at all to do with current world events. My Wargames #NerdStitch from a few years ago.

When you are the only one who got the message you were supposed to dress up for the 5K 😆 From the recent Frozen Assets 5k run across Lake Mendota. I spied the photographer across the way and gave them a wave and a pose as we waited to start.

Don’t tell me you don’t remember me, because I sure has heckfire remember you. Ned Ryerson! Bing! I dressed up to run the local Groundhog Day 5k today. It was a hoot, and I even met Jimmy the Groundhog. I tried to sell him some life insurance.
