God help me but I'm playing DNS games again. My dad's ISP intercepts requests and it's pretty damn creepy.

Nothing like another $8,000 bill to fix perfectly good electrical at the house we’re selling because insurance demands it now.

At my dad’s place for what I hope will be a quiet and relaxing weekend.

Had a great birthday dinner with Joy and some family and friends last night. Going to do our best to enjoy the gorgeous weather today.

I’ll call this weekend a win.

The most annoying thing about Apple Music is when the insert fucking music videos at the end of albums.

Had a great lunch to end Joy’s birthday week at a neat little spot on the lake in Kenosha.

It’s still amazing to me how much more accessible the water is here than it was to us when we could walk to the Gulf in Florida.

How is it only just now hitting 12:00? I swear it should be at least 5 or 6 pm already!

So I spent the morning trying Mona again. Fool me once, shame on you… Fool me twice…

I'm back on @ivory after about an hour. Ivory would be the perfect app if I could hide general tabs on iPad and Mac (namely the notifications tab as I never, ever want to see any notification sans mentions) and if it had inline translations.

Is it Friday yet?

We're watching 6Nations this morning and rooting for Ireland.

I have no idea at all how this sport works but it's fun to watch this morning.

I want to like the new-ish Thunderbird but it's just so hard to use.

I'm really ready for this week to be over

Finally got our last tax forms and trying to work out our own taxes. Oye.

I just finished the book Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. (I haven't seen the Apple series.) At first I didn't like it--the beginning felt a bit meanspirited. And much of the rest is the book is pretty dark, but in the end, it's a thoughtful story. Like all good sci-fi, it's not about the science but about our humanity and how our choices make us who we are. If you enjoy interesting sci-fi that isn't afraid to explore the dark corners of humanity, you might enjoy Dark Matter. https://search.app.goo.gl/oEbE5g1

Today marks one month since my mom died. I’m still at my dad’s house helping him adjust. I’ll be here until the 21st. There are good and bad days yet but it does seem like things are getting a bit easier.

Today is Wednesday.

That is all.

This afternoon I'm listening to a group called Rura and it has to be some of the most relaxing music I've heard in a while. Bonus in that it has some bagpipes.

It's funny to me some of the folks that I listen on a regular rotation these days including Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran. When I was younger I didn't really listen to any pop music but now I really appreciate some of these artists.

Am I missing something or do settings for Mona not actually sync between devices? To get anything to show up, even my mute list, I seem to have to do a full settings import with every minor change.

Three heros I have in this world:

1: Mr Rogers
2: Thomas Merton
3: Fr. Randy Rentner CSC

I never met the first two but the 3rd failed me out of the honors program in high school and, I realized much later, that was one of the best gifts I could have received.

This is still the best version of Toto's Africa. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH9FyLsfDzw

There are 35,0xx people at the Chicago Red Stars women’s soccer game at Wrigley Field. That is over 24,000 more than the Chicago Fire men’s game we were at last week and I’m here for it.

Pay Sakak is a shitty human being but it was sad to see his last episode of Wheel yesterday. I can’t remember a day when he wasn’t on that show. I was 2 years old when he started it (im 45 today)

I’m pretty sure this place is playing the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack

And I’m ok with that.
