I'm gradually vanishing from all forms of social media. I guess I'm enjoying "meatspace" more at this stage.

"Yes", he said long after the fact.

I'll take "Musical artists who actually got better after their hit making days", Alex

That fad pleases me. I don't know why.

Thank you crypto-currency miners for almost doubling the prices on mid-high end video cards.

It's fun to watch a 650.00 card going for 1300.00 on Amazon with an availability of "We don't know when"

Bad news: Massive updates needed for a company in Alabama. On a Monday.

Good News: The IT guy is exemplary . He should be able to handle this with ease.

A transmission is something I touch grudgingly. They're never simple. Everything that breaks takes a herculean effort to get to it seems.

After helping the CEO put a new transmission in a 7 series BMW, I vowed never to offer such help again.

It's amazing how muscle memory works.

For the first time since childhood, I actually lost my balance and fell. Was walking into a bookstore with sidekick and I somehow stubbed my toe on the curb. Had too much forward momentum to regain my balance so I fell,

Many, many years before, I was heavily into judo. Most of our early classes were being grabbed, sometimes unaware, and slammed into the ground. There was a purpose to this. Once you instinctively know how to land, taking the shock with your arm/shoulder and leg, you're golden. Eventually, you can reverse it and throw the other guy without thinking.

Well, when I fell, it all kicked in. Leg. Arm.

Sidekick thought it was pretty badass that a 240 pound 50 plus guy could fall onto a concrete patio and emerge without even a bruise.

I'e been so far removed from social media it isn't funny. Just too many other things occupying my attention.
