Puppy Love - Paul Anka

But for now I am half way to @ozonetrooper 's with my plate and fork in hand! The PorkChop dinner with sides are too good to pass up!

Did somebody call my name again? I is "he"! I do believe I hear @rootabaga about to enter the room

I ordered two bug zappers from Amazon

I have one at the cabin that works great. It is a gnat and fly killing machine.

I stumbled across this list from the first half of 2026 and was surprised how many we had missed, including some really notable names. The list itself is "over-complete" as it names a couple of people twice. (I mean sure, EW isn't exactly the epitome of journalism, but don't they have some interns they could charge with at least reading through the names to be sure they aren't double-counted?)

Yeah EW is very weak writing.. Seriously I stopped scrolling midway.

Grilled steak and baked potato.

Today was a miserable weather day. It was hot, windy, and humid. I spent the day working in the yard. I then cooked out and ate dinner. I wasn't going to ride but I decided I would be sorry if I didn't. I geared up and did battle with the wind and humidity. My station said it felt like 103° and the max gust was 28.9mph. Even riding an e-bike struggled to make the ride fun tonight. I saw nobody out during my ride.
It was that crummy. I logged 42 miles and I hope the heat dries out the humidity in a couple of days.

Another FB link, a compilation from Adam Rose of mostly fails, some of which made me cringe, so be aware.

Sad all the way around...

Upper eighties but cloudy and raining.

Went well until the Boston Scientific crew came in and interfaced the pacemaker.

Their consensus, (after an EKG), is that the bottom wire is not properly positioned, went for a chest Xray, and will go back next week, to talk about what it shows.

Not gonna let it worry me today !

We recently watched the movie "Margaret" starring Anna Pacquin and featuring Matthew Broderick, Jean Reno and Matt Damon (and a few other recognizable faces).
My wife and I kept wondering why so many talented people joined this thing. The script had to give away how bad it was. The biggest problem with it is a lack of direction, and by that I mean the story wanders all over the place and tries to tell too many stories at the same time. Tarantino does this well ("Pulp Fiction" being a prime example) but it certainly takes a deft hand to pull it off.
"Margaret" is certainly a film we regret watching and certainly won't watch again.

I don't know how it's possible but the Royals lost tonight 1-22 to the White Sox. I saw the last out of the 9th which was all I needed to see of that game. Fortunately, I missed the rest of what had to be a miserable game to watch no matter who you were rooting for.
