being online is often to be part of an open world RPG where everyone has forgotten what the current mission is or if there even is one

This morning, I have La Vuelta on the tv and the Philly Classic streaming on the computer. In case there's any doubt how much of a dork I am.

It's Vontoux day for the TdFF! Annoyed that the live coverage doesn't start until 2 hours into the race but hopefully that's still the entire climb up the mountain today.

In keeping with my normal "completely random post once every 3 weeks" routine... The updated finish to the Tour de France is, once again, fantastic. Last year showed what it can be, even in the rain. Updated and clear weather this year? Beautiful battle all the way to the line!

most irritating part of "how can you root for the US did you know we are bad" is why the fuck do you think I got here without thinking about all this and coming to my own peace with it why do I have to be in the slow lane with you, ever you missed this meeting I'm not giving you my notes

Ha! As someone who has tried these gels for my long rides, this tagline is incredibly apt. There's no flavor, and the texture is indescribably weird. It's something you have to "get used to." There are also other better tasting gels on the market, so my Maurten experience was a one-and-done.

Zwifting thread - sorry for the boring! This year's goal is to do the Mont Vontoux climb, in honor of the TdFF climbing the summit for the first time this year. No way I can do this climb "cold", so I'm trying to get in the other big climbs to help prepare. 11.8 miles, 4859 feet of climbing.

That said, I am very happy with my decision this spring (semester) to swing by Moon Hollow after work once a week. It lets me start my grad class reading for the week, and more importantly, the bartenders know me as a regular now!

I keep telling myself that I'm going to start posting on here with some sort of regularity, but we see how well that's going. Doesn't help that all of my "exciting" life things are cycling/Zwift related.

A couple of thoughts on tonight: - Happy to have helped Radford go blue again in another election (with some heavy lifting from the students) - While it's the next house district over from me, very happy to see Lily Franklin on the verge of flipping that VA house seat blue!

Three years ago, I made the random decision to take a 40 minute drive to a local orchard for some apple picking. It has become my favorite annual tradition once September hits. Another beautiful morning for some apple picking
Rows of apple trees line a grassy path to the horizon, with clear, blue skies and mountains in the backdrop.

I've been full-go with my (indoor) cycling and Zwift bike/app over the past few months, enjoying the rides and getting better on routes and racing. And today's La Vuelta stage that ends on L'Angliru is a reminder as to why indoor virtual cycling is where I'll continue to live.

The decision to make Thursdays a rest day from cycling so that I could stop by Moon Hollow Brewery on my way home after work was a brilliant life decision.

In less depressing news, I’ve fully switched from running to indoor cycling. And now I’m fully in the Zwift world - loving life as a mediocre cyclist in that very international virtual cycling world. Now that the Tour de France has started, it’s just a full cycling geek out this month😄

Well, I was supposed to be in Milwaukee right now for a vacation. But home-ownership crap arose and I had to cancel the trip last minute. I’ve been trying to make the most of the vacation days locally. But nothing is going to replace missing my chance to see Babymetal playing at Sunmerfest tonight.

Shimabaran is the guardian deity of Shimabara City, Nagasaki. He loves his hometown and is straightforward and hardworking; but he is clumsy, easily gets tired, and has no confidence in his physical strength.

At the Nashville SC game, a giant flag for La Brigada de Oro, the Latino supporters section, which is not here tonight due to ICE activity. NSC officials tried to remove it, but were met with vehement objections by supporters clubs, who threatened a giant walkout if they did.

The Venerable Sariputta one day asked the Buddha, "I have seen a bad post. I think I shall quote tweet it with my added commentary." The Buddha chuckled. "You may do so. You may make your own home as unclean as that of the pig sty. But do not complain when the pigs sleep in your bed."

154 = Tyler Warren's 2024 passing efficiency. 2nd best on the team, still ahead of Drew Allar. (Also, officially adding PTKU as my 5th alma mater.) @newap-georgia.bsky.social @edsbs.bsky.social @hollyanderson.bsky.social
Picture of a donation screen to New American Pathways as part of the EDSBS 2025 Charity Bowl. Donation is for $154, with the amount being added to the competition total for Protect Trans Kids University. The $154 donation is in recognition of Penn State tight end Tyler Warren's 2024 passing efficiency rating (which was better than QB Drew Allar).

Making ricotta chocolate chip cookies for the office tomorrow and adding in a bit of orange to brighten up the batch. Past me was a bastard and put an empty bottle of orange extract back in the pantry. Thankfully, current me still has some Cointreau to use as an "orange-flavored alcohol" back-up.

Did my first ever conference presentation today, and it went over well? Had a few people come up afterwards to tell me they enjoyed it and got value out of it, so I guess I'll call it a success. Success or failure, it's beer time now 😁

Booked the hotel for a vacation this summer. Still have to book the flight/rental car, but finally forcing myself to commit to an actual vacation this year. Haven't planned an actual vacation since 2020, so hopefully things don't completely go to shit again this go around?

In what is becoming a very weird tradition for me, this late-January Saturday night finds me watching curling on one screen and the 24 Hours of Daytona on the second. Because of course I watch the most random sports you can imagine.
