Enabled a new email domain for sign-ups. Have been using one before now, but it was tied to a personal domain. The new one is fewer characters (5), is a .com, and not linked to any of my PII. Have been planning this for months, enough “big rock” projects have completed so this is the time!


Catching up on posting some completed books… I’m not so fast that I’m finishing two per day πŸ˜…


Finished reading: Twisted Prey by John Sandford πŸ“š


Finished reading: Extreme Prey by John Sandford πŸ“š


Got out to the St. Louis Park aquatic center with the kids today. Lots of water sliding!

New fiscal year at Microsoft started this month, so now it’s kick off season. Grateful that they’ve included real breaks to keep us fresh.

Enjoyed Monster Jam with my son, I love being able to share the thrill of big trucks doing cool things for no reason but to be exciting. 🏁

28 Years Later 🍿πŸŽ₯ was better than I expected.

First time experience: I was the only car left in the Drive-In watching this through to the end (final movie of the night). Everyone else left before it started or during the movie. I suppose it was late…


F1 🍿πŸŽ₯was a fun movie but the stakes seemed low both for individual characters and the collective. Favorite character was the investor, who reminded me of the blood sucking lawyer in the original Jurassic Park.


Finished reading: The Third Option by Vince Flynn πŸ“š


Was reminded by @ericmwalk that I too was very close to a deer on a recent run. Adding here for posterity. πŸƒπŸ¦Œ


I just learned about Libro.fm and it looks great. Anyone have experiences (good or bad) that they’d like to share?

I’m not an Audible user, but I do use Libby for content from my local library system, probably 4 audiobooks per month. I’d be looking to augment my Libby usage, not replace.


Finished reading: The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson πŸ“š First time reading a Sanderson novel, excited for more!
