The Wierd Al show at Treasure Island last night was fantastic! He’s still crushing it and full of energy.
I put together a playlist of his set to commemorate the night.
“The purpose of a storyteller is not to tell you how to think, but to give you questions to think upon.” Love this quote from The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson 📖
Got the kids to watch The Muppet Movie 🍿🎥 with me. They’re finally old enough to sit through a slower-paced feature-length movie and it makes me so happy!
Final cub scout meeting of this year, what a gorgeous evening for it! Sunny, 70’s, and a light breeze.
Feeling energized after Kettle 100k, thinking about swapping out Voyageur 50mi and replacing with the Badger 100mi. I’m still planning on Superior 50mi after Labor Day. 🤔💭🏃 I have another 8 days to decide…
Got back out running this morning. I expected a longer recovery after my first 100k, but I’m feeling good! I felt like I could have tried on Tuesday, but forced myself to wait until today. The Waiting was the hardest part. 🏃🌻
Finished reading: Extreme Measures by Vince Flynn 📚 started and finished this one during my recent race. 🎧🏃
Finished reading: Prey by Michael Crichton 📚 interesting reading this in 2025, with the discussion of AI and Agentic system design. Now we’re discussing software agents instead of contemplating nanotech. Fun read.
Amazing day running the Kettle Moraine 100k. I felt great and finished ahead of my goal time. Grateful for my family and Crew joining for the day as well as the very cooperative weather 🌞🏃🔔
This is spot on when it comes to dev work… My AI Skeptic Friends Are All Nuts
Watched The Music Man (1962) 🍿🎥 with the CBB Presents Watchalong audio. So fun 🎺 🥁
Apparently Jess has now seen the movie with me more times than she’s seen it alone (3 or 4)
Had my last long run before Kettle Moraine 100k this weekend. Couldn’t help but stop to snag a photo of the flowers along the trail 🏃🪻
Finished prepping food for my son’s birthday party tomorrow. Grapes, pineapple, watermelon, carrots, celery, dip, and 4 kinds of chips. Cupcakes for dessert. Lemonade, sparkling and still water. Pizza order in and scheduled. The kids helped by stuffing the party favor bags. Looks like the weather will cooperate, too! 🎉
Finished reading: The Midnight Line by Lee Child 📚
Watched Rogue One: A Star Wars Story 🎥🍿
Today I learned that the MSP Terminal 1 Caribou by F/G gate split has an XL size…didn’t need it today but there are definitely those days where I’ll take advantage ☕☕☕
