Non-gamers don't understand: Demon slaying is relaxing for us. Shooting zombies in the face is cathartic. Flinging fireballs at a dragon is fun. Sneaking through a warehouse unseen is exciting. And we need more than 30 minutes a day for it. That's barely enough time to get started!

I just reread Ray Bradbury's "The Pedestrian" and came across @thepedestrian.bsky.social. Seems to be a *slight* difference in tone between them...

I can't literally stand with the folks in LA right now, I'm thousands of miles away. Same for San Diego and San Francisco. I'm hundreds of miles from Houston and San Antonio. I'm sure there are protests elsewhere. Know that I'm with you—all of you—in spirit, even if I can't be there in person.

After a dozen trips to see family (same place, same amount of time, etc.), one might assume we'd get the hang of packing for the trip. Nope! Still takes a couple of hours longer than expected. I mean, I'm done, but my wife... 😋 Love her anyway, though!

Those living without chronic pain: 1) I'm jealous 2) It's not a question of *if* I hurt, but where and how much right *now* 3) Because my most acute pain was in one location yesterday (or even an hour ago), don't assume that's still the case.

Guy on the other side of the cubicle is talking confidently about Atlantean society and culture, and "what they thought" about various subjects.

My mom was surprised that the kids she knew, her nieces, as well as their friends, were/are terrified of police. She grew up with an Andy Griffith idea of law enforcement. We grew up knowing that Rodney King, George Floyd, Brionna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and more are not isolated incidents.

Had the memorial service for dad this afternoon. While it was very religious overall (not my thing, but definitely his), it was a beautiful tribute to how many people's lives he touched. About 250 family, friends, clients, and vendors either came or watched the church's first livestream attempt.

I need a day—just one day—to relax. I might be able to fit that in...*checks schedule*...late-July, unless, as it inevitably will, something comes up. I literally have something on my schedule every day between now and July 26. Then, maybe, just maybe, I can have a normal schedule again?

Excited for my vacation in September: @kansascitycurrent.bsky.social (@nwslsoccer.com) game, KC Renaissance Festival, and a Halestorm/Lindsay Stirling/Apocalyptica concert. What other "girl power"-themed trouble can I plan to get into in KC?

Okay, #Booksky 📚. I recall a book, or a series, that I read a *lot* of years ago, that took place in the world where lone socks from dryers end up. Does anyone else know what I'm talking about? It would've been in a YA or children's section of a library...
