I don't think I've shared my enthusiasm for vintage Vespas with Bluesky yet, but it's definitely a thing with me. This 1965 Vespa GS is fully restored and not really a "daily driver". It was such a lovely evening though, so I decided to take it out for a spin. It really is a fun little bike!

I never feel better at running than when I'm doing short, non-required runs after a marathon. The paces I clock are just complete outliers!

A map from the fitness app Strava shows the route of a 5.4 mile run in Old North Columbus and Clintonville. The pace listed is 9:08 per mile.

Great set by Nicole Atkins and her band at Rumba Cafe. I might try to catch her again in Cleveland in November.

I hadn't followed the shooting that closely, so when I found out that Nidal Hasan uses a wheelchair, this was the first thing I thought of. Just barbaric.

A still from the execution scene from the film Paths of Glory depicts three soldiers being attended to by a priest while tied to wooden posts awaiting death by firing squad. The soldier closest to the camera is on a stretcher propped up against the post. He is mostly unconscious and slumped slightly forward.

Christa Pike needs to get in on this! "I saw a warm bright light, and heard a booming voice say, "You go back there and tell those people I said to stop trying to kill you. And stop killing all those other people too".

"I appreciate you" is still a thing that sounds kind of clunky to me, but I guess I'm going to have to get used to its usage.

It's weird, but whenever I see another terrible public figure, politician, or billionaire do or say another terrible thing, I reflexively do the mental math and try to calculate whether or not I might live long enough to see them die. And I say it's weird, because I haven't always done that.

The gardens at Stan Hywet still have plenty of flowers blooming. Just a gorgeous day!

It occurs to me as I look at this now, that it would make a fun jigsaw puzzle. I expect there's some company out there that will turn jpegs into puzzles for folks.

Packing up some stuff for the Akron move.

A collection of small souvenir buildings and trinkets are pictured in a jumble against a black background. They are actually packed in a box for moving. In addition to the buildings (which include the Sears Tower, Eiffel Tower, Space Needle, the Arc de Triomphe, Washington Monument, and the Gateway Arch, the image also contains small figures of JFK, Abraham Lincoln, and a small glass toilet.

Grandpa did it! 26.2 hilly miles in the Akron Marathon! Perfect day for it too. #akronmarathon #blueliners #running

I believe it! The hills got the best of me last year, especially since the most dramatic elevation gains seem to be in the second half.

This is my final longish run before next Saturday's Akron Marathon. I don't feel exactly ready, but I followed the training plan as prescribed. That will have to do. #running #mit #marathon #akron

It was pretty lonely at the workplace bike rack this morning. I think that's partly because of the misty/rainy morning, and partly because it's Friday.

It's fine. More people should buy and fix derelict almost-mansions in Akron.

This room cleaned up nicely. It's one of two rooms in the house where we were true floor lottery winners.

A room in an older home with a Georgian style fireplace is pictured. The fireplace and trim are painted white. The walls are Dolphin Blue. The hardwood floors are finished and the fireplace hearth is surrounded by Grey tiles.

When life gives you a painted, Georgian style fireplace mantel, you have no choice but to paint the room Dolphin Blue. Once we're done, you'll find me in here reading Hume and Locke.

The Buckeyes are up 1-0 in the first half, but I sense a worthy adversary in this Penn State squad. This could be an interesting night. Also, the band is here, which is nice.

I'm not sure about Columbus theatres, but I'm happy to report that the Nightlight Cinema in Akron is screening this on the one and only night it will be shown in U.S theatres! After that you can catch it on MUBI. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPIy...

The OSU women's soccer team put on quite a show last night, beating Princeton 4-0. The sky didn't do too bad either.

I've long realized that young people aren't making content for me, and that's...fine. It really is. I'll keep dabbling in the margins of popular culture and trying to keep up. Occasionally I'll even know who the musical guest on SNL is. That's also fine.
