Devastating turn of events for the tournament.
Trying out ground Pike Place coffee recently. More decent than I expected - especially in a pinch.
Welcome to my hand-crafted home on the web. Stay awhile and thanks for stopping by.

🔗 “I love the em dash”
I also love the em dash. It’s been a part of my personal style for decades—I don’t know where I picked up the habit—maybe Joyce? Dickinson? I believe em dashes can stand in for any other mark. I used to know the unicode shortcut to correctly render an em dash, and I also knew the difference between an “en” and an “em.”
🔗 Non-citizens Don’t Vote
I don’t know why people buy the nonsense on this issue. But the true prevalence of non-citizens voting has been looked into by many states. It just doesn’t happen very often at all. Certainly not to the extent “they’re” trying to sell.

Recent Notes
Rangers are a .500 team so far this year. Which ain't bad. Been listening to quite a few of the games on the radio.
Happy Birthday to me. 44 years.
i’m interested in being known and accepted for the widely varying person that I am, not to be known as a family photo, or as this or that person’s antecedent. a person of offbeat interests and depth of curiosity and care.
When playing an RPG (Final Fantasy games), I aspire to move past "I need to do everything perfectly, and have just the right characters and jobs picked out for every situation." And just play the game as it comes - be creative and try different approaches - regardless of whether anyone online says they're the "best" approach.
