I have managed to come down with a very slight cold. Nothing like I would get when I was a smoker 30+ years ago, but it is the first one I’ve had in more than five years. I think stress at the day job has contributed to it.
Yay Dodgers for winning the World Series. Boo Dodger fans for behaving like destructive looting thugs, yet again. 😒
Happy to report that after one day, interest in and response to the new Micro.blog tees was pretty incredible. Seeing that totally made it worth making it happen.
My wife (of all people) turned me on to a really interesting podcast series yesterday… American Elections: Wicked Game. I’ve listened to the 2020 episode completely and half of the 2016. It’s crazy how much I’ve forgotten of the events that happened during those cycles.
