One summer in high school I saw a concert at Darien Lake (B-52s and Violent Femmes (!!!)) and part of it included being in the park after hours somehow. Anyway I rode the Predator like 5 times in a row with no lines which you can only safely do at 14.

"are you enjoying duo mobile" does a hamburger enjoy being made of quarks. does a fish enjoy linear time. does the mountain enjoy the first taste of a cup of hot chocolate when you get back to the ski lodge. your question means nothing to me. i couldn't enjoy duo mobile even if i tried

For my birthday project this year, I’ve been learning to carve rubber stamps. I wanted to make something that I could customize so that all of my friends could get an original piece of art. This is what I came up with. Thank you all for your kind words and support. I hope to get better at it.

I can tell what time it is because my coworkers' laptops are chiming like churchbells for their upcoming meetings. Ten minutes to the hour. Five minutes to the hour.

I'm finally reading Into Thin Air and my brain is like when I got really into the nurburgring 20 years ago. Just names rattling around. Boukreev. Adenaur Forst. Lhotse. Dottinger Hohe. Gammelgaard. Flugplatz. Ang Dorje. Aremberg. Beidleman. Hatzenbach. Khumbu.

The night at a bar in Brooklyn where they played Is It You Girl? by Betty Wright like 5 times in a row. I couldn’t believe how good it was and I was scrambling to remember some part of it for later, then they just kept re playing it. Was better every time.

Major milestone this week, after 30+ years on the internet I had a creepy stranger offer me money for feet pics. (I carelessly left a transaction for street cart tacos public on Venmo)

Love a good boat name. There's one I've seen a few times called "Change Order" on a huge cabin cruiser which is just perfect for a cackling, cigar-chomping general contractor www.beautifulpublicdata.com/boat-names/

Today, most cars come in white, silver, and black. That’s pretty much it. It is truly sad to see how far the typical car has fallen from the colorful options that even basic cars had. Just look at these colors from cars on the road in 1973! www.beautifulpublicdata.com/san-diego-ph...

Big fan of take your child to work day. All these people on the train, at grand central, on the street, and in the office are full of tender gestures, tender voices. Everyone’s having a Big Day. It’s good.

Put me in the RIB to do donuts around the capsule for half an hour next time. I'm RIB certified. I can be trusted with the NASA RIB.

I have mostly not followed the Artemis mission, but today of all days it was pretty cool to visit the (replica) Apollo 8 capsule and its AUTHENTIC recovery hook on the USS Yorktown.

Took my kids to serendipity3 which turned out to be an insane disney simulacrum of … something. Was surprised to find that it started as a real little spot and got famous and different over time. Anyway I’ve seen a few people at grand central wearing Veselka merch lately. Worrying.
