I’m sorry. I’m sure I’m not at the top of the list, but I’m spending less time on SM these past couple weeks. It’s been a rough place to be.

I am back in my beloved Philadelphia once again, at the Met to see Tori Amos, using a ticket I bought on a whim on Wednesday. I love the freedom of spontaneity!

Huh. I’m stumped. Coming at your from ground zero of the BMSB, it has similar diamond shapes, but they aren’t black (except for some of the nymphal stages, but they have more white). In my attempts to figure it out, I did find this page - so. Many. Bugs. wildcolumbia.org/wildlife-gui...

FWIW: ‘parsec’ is a measure of distance, not time, but that doesn’t make the Millennium Falcon’s Kessel Run any less impressive.

Slightly less than 9 years ago, after buying my Wee Ruadh and discovering it did not have a cd player, I started listening to *all* the music I own on my iPod in alphabetical order. Today, on the way to work, ‘ZZ Top Goes to Egypt’ by Camper Van Beethoven came on and the saga is complete.

Let’s play two! @lhvironpigs won game 1 pretty decisively (mirroring the Phils’ score, but in a good way). I’m wearing lots of layers, so it’s kind of perfect out here! ⚾️

It’s a fun game to watch tonight for sure (hasn’t been of late). So you know why Sharpie is on the bench tonight? Not complaining at all, just curious…

AHL is on Flo Hockey. Although, if you want to listen, that’s on the Phantoms app.

I’m at the Phantoms game (of course) and Patrick Sharp 😍 is behind the bench for our O line and I’ve been paying more attention to his slut strand than the hockey. Oops

Happy Sheelah's Day. This feast, largely no longer celebrated in Ireland, commemorates either St Patrick's wife or mother, who probably didn't exist. So let's celebrate a similarly-named mysterious figure today instead: the sheela na gig!
