What's the Matter with Lance Armstong? https://louplummer.lol/post/what-s-the-matter-with-lance-armstong I have written before on how cycling changed my life. In December of 2008 I weighed nearly 300lbs and had been drinking on a daily basis for years. I had my last drink three days after Christmas that year. Twelve months later I weighed less than 200 lbs., and I...
From my 100 Strangers Project - Officer McGuire, taken right after he made a big show of scolding a woman for taking two steps away from her suitcase. She didn't even speak English. He could have handled it differently. #photography
Looking forward, sometimes it’s OK not to live in the moment but instead to revel in what’s coming. For WeblogPoMo2024, the last entry. https://louplummer.lol/post/looking-forward
I Like Your Blog If... https://louplummer.lol/post/i-like-your-blog-if As I spend less and less time on commercial websites and more time exploring the blogs on IndieWeb platforms, I am developing a type and preferences. There's plenty to choose from.
I like tech but not too much tech
For better or worse, it takes a fairly technical person to... #WeblogPoMo2024
❓ The student worker, who gets paid an hourly wage, is confused by the notion of clocking in and clocking out and definitely does not approve of signing in and out of the office with a destination.
How I Internet https://louplummer.lol/post/how-i-internet I do not have the time to internet the way I want to. In a perfect world, I would stay caught up on my RSS feeds instead of being somewhere around 7,000 articles behind. I would have all three of my email accounts at Inbox Zero instead of just the... #WeblogPoMo2024
@amerpie That I understand, I was getting overwhelmed trying to read way too many articles and blogs and decided to set a time limit, which works better for me.
I have referred to my wife, the ultra-running grandma, as Wonder Woman for years. Today a gift from a random Internet stranger arrived in the mail. Things like this chase the toxic away.
🚴 So my daughter and her family (all cyclists) are going to France in July and they don't plan to see a single stage of the Tour de France and I don't understand where I failed as a parent.

I will always believe we should honor fallen troops by doing everything we can to make sure no one ever dies in dubious future wars. When we sacrifice our young people, it should mean something lasting. This is my grandmother’s brother, Gratton McFadyen, who died fighting fascists in Italy.
My Favorite Man https://louplummer.lol/post/my-favorite-man Without a doubt, my favorite man in the whole world is my son Drew. He texted me photos from an art exhibit tonight and when I asked him if he'd had a good day. He replied "Yep! Just rode with a buddy for 20 miles around one off the coolest... #WeblogPoMo2024
From my 100 Strangers Project - I asked, "What's your name, young man" and he said "Bobby, sir" and every time I see this photo, I think "There's Bobby, sir." That's his sister with him. They were at a park down by the Congaree River in Columbia, SC. #photography
