Europe is Cheap Now!
If it weren’t for the fact that flights are absolutely insanely expensive I would definitely be planning a vacation to somewhere in the euro zone!

Back on the Course
Completed my first round of golf in 2022. A neck injury in March pretty much ended my season before it started, but today I was able to finish 18 holes with only minor pain. My score on the other hand suffered serious pain and injury. Through about 1/2 bucket of balls on the range, I may be made solid contact…
A Relaxed 4th Weekend
Given the exorbitant cost of travel, whether it be by plane or road, I decided to do a super relaxed stay at home holiday weekend. Saw on the news that anyone trying to travel on the 95 corridor Saturday near Northern VA was totally screwed by accidents. Today it’s just a chill day at the pool after a nice workout…

Almost Free Dinner
One way to combat the gone crazy inflation is to cut down on the cost of eating, whether it’s going out less, eating more veggies instead of massively costly meat, or better yet just plain old eating less. Today was the first full day back in the office for me i nearly two years and so cost was on my…
Internal Soft Power On/Off
In my last post I alluded to the issues I had with Linux Mint when it came to support of an external second display. This is a gripe post on a similar/related topic. Specifically laptop manufacturers placing the power button on the main keyboard such that it is impossible to turn the laptop on or off with the lid shut.…
Jury Duty
Received summons for jury duty a month ago. Called in last night as directed hoping I would be excused due to lack of need, but no such luck. Will now need to fall back on plan B, which is that I watch crime shows all the time on TV and so I KNOW the law. Hopefully what will scare counsel…
Jimmie Cone Run
For once it is a holiday weekend with NICE weather in Maryland! Grabbed the bike and hit the trails for a ~20 mile round trip to Jimmie Cone. Somehow just knowing that an ice cream treat at the mid-point in the ride makes those legs crank harder. Don’t worry, they had frozen German Chocolate Cake Yogurt so I didn’t wipe…
Father’s day Fun
A non-father out doing a Father’s Day activity. Biked around the Ag Farm after the weather warmed up enough to be pleasant.
Pinch in the Pocketbookt
If I were still commuting regularly each weekday 140 miles round trip like I did a decade ago this would truly HURT. As it is, it’s a minor annoyance easily addressed by a few more home cooked meals. As a kid I though $20 for a full tank was crazy. Can’t imagine how kids manage to fill their tanks at…
Nurtured by Nature
As a birthday gift for my niece, Lisa took her to Nurtured by Nature for a swim with otters. Lisa said they had an outstanding time and well, the photos and video clips say it all.
