Mn dark clouds post above this one with the eight words “road points at night, are big and bright” (deep in the heart of Texas)

Feels like this is just fate then.

Who are you kidding? You are ready to hardware hack.

A legend in my own mind to this day. Saw an extra piece on a LEGO model at the Imagination Centre so walked up, plucked it off and offered it back to a store employee. Still got it. :).

(The models are all glued, so pieces I can pluck off aren’t supposed to be there. )

It’s impossible to not love Naomi Girma. What a legend. #USWNT #USAvsJPN

Really like Girma as a center back for the US WNT. She is such a stout defender and the goals always feel like an extra. #USWNT

That super early flight to Atlanta is a killer later in the evening when it catches up with you. Good luck!

Reid Wiseman on #Artemis II: "We have Earth out window 4 and Moon out window 3... the Moon is about 3-4 times the size of the Earth and it is almost full, and the Earth is just a small crescent out there... it's magnificent... such a majestic view out here"

Mission Control: "Amaze, amaze, amaze!"

As seen elsewhere on socials, #LAGalaxy fans at their game vs #MNUFC last night with another show of solidarity via tifo: "you have friends in this galaxy", with the sign of the Rebel Alliance, a nod to the Loons' supporters display of the Rebel Loon and Andor-insipired "we have friends everywhere"

Been quiet for some time. Time to check on her and make sure she's not too worried about a play-in game.

No, she texted me with a Wolves were 10 up now 17 down. She's still in there with the game. She's clearly always had a thing for lost causes.

Text directly to me, not to the family group. "Why does this team hate me?" I reply that I am sorry and I am sure that they hate more than just her.

Guessing the game is mostly out of reach. She hasn't screamed about "the kids" playing, so they either are and it's not close, or the game is over.

"Go Naz!" Followed by a "Yes!" Guessing Naz for three.

Also, since I hear more cries of misery, because we're Minnesota sports fans.

She said yes to me 30+ years ago. She knew what she was getting into.

Also I am punching well above my weight. I just try to make her laugh once in a while so she doesn't realize that.

I was hopeful, but just heard a "Oh Minnesota. oh geez, my god..." So that sounds like maybe we're down 6? headed into the fourth?

Some optimistic "oh" from the other room. Maybe the Wolves making a run. Go Wolves.

Groans of dismay. This is not a good sign. Wolves on the receiving end of an opponent's run. I yell a helpful "let's go wolves" from my office.

Get a reply we are two points down right now. So I haven't broken and checked the score myself yet.

Yelling has picked up. Game must be back on. The "Yeah!" are louder and fuller throat. Wolves are likely leading now. Still no family texts so the game must be close on score and or not close to done yet.

Quiet now. Assuming halftime. This is an interesting way to follow the game. Will have to see how close I was later. Time is 7:18 CT.

Feels like they might be in it. Some excited yelling, but not the kind of screaming I hear when they are actually crushing it. Going to bet at 7:04p based on the yelling, we're like 3-7 points behind?

I have begun listening for the yelling from the next room. Sometimes the family gets texts. We reply with go wolves.

This own goal brought to you by Orange Turd.

They're lifting the hold! Go for launch!

@mylittlebloggie.bsky.social I can only imagine how your wolves are doing based on the anguished cries from my wife's office. I am so sorry for you both.

Annunciation fifth grader receives national award for ‘extraordinary bravery’ during school shooting The Congressional Medal of Honor Society named Victor Greenawalt, 11, the 2026 Young Hero honoree for shielding another student with his body during a mass shooting last August.

It's been a heavy week to have all of it front and center again.

I really like that my sister calls out how many different untold stories of heroism there were on that day.

I go by the yells and exclamations from my wife watching it. If you ratio the “cmon you guys” against the “yes!” You can get a pretty good judge of how it’s going. Maybe Wednesday I live stream her reactions from two rooms away. :). @theogreswife.bsky.social
