I was on a discussion board for a TV show I like. When the conversation veered towards episodes getting pre-empted because of sports, I recommended watching an amateur recording of the show on YouTube. I was promptly banned.
For life. 🙄

I'm hurting, but I think I'll be ok. Thanks!

Painfully rough start to the day: Wiped out on my morning run and fell flat on my face half way through. I was looking a thousand yards ahead instead of right in front of me and my foot found the curb. I guess I'm lucky I don't have a broken jaw or ribs. Just scrapes and bruises... I think. I sweat like a bastard though, so literally had salt in my wounds.
I probably crushed some poor damn cicada when I fell. Wait, I'm not going to feel sorry for them. Those guys are assholes. #Today #Running

I remember really enjoying Run Lola Run when I watched it on DVD 20-ish years ago. Might have to catch the re-release.

I never made a habit of watching sitcoms. When I did turn one on, I found the laugh track irritating, but I think "excruciating" is too strong of a word. You need a poll option for "I tolerate them because I don't really have any other choice."

Today is the 159th anniversary of Ulysses Grant's defeat of the US secessionist slavery movement's paramilitary arm. Please celebrate accordingly. #History #CivilWar #Histodons

I had to switch servers, so this is a good time for the #introduction I never posted a month ago when I joined Mastodon. The bird site was my online home for 13 yrs. The tusk site, it turns out, is better!
I grew up in Evanston, Illinois (near #Chicago). Now living in Buffalo Grove, Illinois (sort of near Chicago). Married to a woman I love. We have two boys, 8 & 10. I enjoy dad things, reading (or listening to) books, and learning. I might like building my kids' #Lego sets more than they do.
