Headlines haven't been about actual news since media companies started getting paid for clicks.

M's are playing the A's so I have to watch my local broadcast. Which means I will have it muted through the entire game.

April showers…

As someone with an unusual "American" name, I can confirm that in general many people are dicks. I like to correct those specific people and make them say the "Gay" part of my name when they'll do anything to avoid it. It's Gay-la. Not Gail-a.
And who the f can't pronounce Adebayo?!

Excited to see this! LFG California!

We put a deposit down on an Ioniq 5 over the weekend. Should be able to pick it up in a week or so. Can't wait!

Um, a tall dude with long arms who just stands in the end zone and catches everything.

Since I started hanging out here, I regularly see posts on my feed about "the Habs". I've always thought they were a football/soccer team from some other part of the world. Today I learned it's a hockey team. Hockey being one of the few sports I don't follow, I had no clue!
#GoHabs!

A Chinese android just ran a half-marathon faster than any human ever | CNN They were trailing behind their human rivals a year ago. But on Sunday, an android outpaced the entire field to run a half-marathon faster than even the quickest human.

Oh, look. They made a machine that goes faster than a person. Are we supposed to be surprised by this? Or impressed?

QTP with a game that released in the year you were born!

I love it when people discover amazing writers and get excited about them. It's like I get to rediscover her all over again through your eyes!

He's just not going to be happy until he gets to nuke something.

A tiny slice of the sun visible over the Pacific Ocean during sunset a few years back.

A peek of the sun going down. Pulling some things from the archives this morning. Somewhere along Hwy 1 near Half Moon Bay, CA.

Spending time in bookstores makes me want to write books about bookstores. I wish writing books about people who do yoga made me want to do yoga.

It's meant to be Spring here in San Francisco but it felt like Winter when I woke up this morning. Mid-morning, Spring kicked in with a breeze that blew the pollen off the trees and triggered a sneezing fit. It was Summer for a bit this afternoon and now back to Winter. I have a fire going.

Trading in the 17 year old CRV and officially joining the EV-olution! Put a deposit down on an Ioniq 5 today. Should be here in a couple of weeks, if not sooner.

A screenshot of my book, The Life We Write, listing from Goodreads showing a 4.36 star rating.

Yeah, I'm going to be one of those obnoxious book pushers for awhile. Maybe more than just "awhile" if things go according to plan. And I'm off to a good start! Go read my book!

SHOKZ OpenFit-Open-Ear. I wear them 8+ hours a day for work and usually forget to take them off after my last call of the day. I've almost worn them into the shower several times. I lost count how many times I went to bed with them on.

I don't think this is what we mean when we say we choose the bear.
Not linking because it's the Chronicle and it's paywalled.

Sometimes I randomly remember that Rob Reiner isn't here anymore and I get sad all over again.

Oh, but remember, he's just like us. Just a common man.

We're car shopping right now and probably replacing our 17 year old Honda with a full electric. It just makes sense.

This more than anything else. He's already shown who he is so if elected, that's all on those voters. Eight years down the line, maybe 10, he'll be the Gonzales or Swalwell or or or or of the day.

It's here! It's here!

The Life We Write is a warm, witty story about second chances, creative courage, and the risk of opening your life to new things after it has been professionally and personally dismantled.
