Set your calendars for Food Truck Fridays at Riverside Park! It was magnificent tonight. We enjoyed the community atmosphere and live music from www.harrydeandustyboys.com while we ate delicious sliders, fries, and paella.

Crushed my race in the 2025 Grand Rapids Riverbank Run! I was faster than anticipated just patiently holding threshold heart rate. I started to wear out at ~11 miles, gradually pushed harder, but didn't crash and burn - I finished with exactly nothing left. #riverbankrun #grandrapids #rungr

Booker's gone on for more than 24 hours straight now. There are about 45 Democrats in the Senate, if all of them had Cory's energy and stamina (I acknowledge many don't) they could take turns, he could take a break for a month and a half and stop the destruction of our government indefinitely.
