You are unconscious the entire time which takes all the joy out of it.

Good luck next time and good health!

And congrats, Dr. Sequoiah-Grayson, for being an inspiration!

I want to screenshot this little thread and send it to my colleagues. But that would be wrong.

Wonderful.

So beautiful, Seby. That's a human existence highlight. And probably just the tip of the iceberg. Salut!

Hitherto appless when out and about, I just added WhatApp to the phone for the first time and asked to join the group chat for my son's first-grade class, which my partner has followed up till now. Let the scrolling past daily rants to glean important info begin.

Thank J!

Heh, his speed with the WA group : )

Thanks Speedie!

Traveling by train. Running late because apparently a moose is blocking the tracks. It’s been standing there for an hour. They say they’ve been trying to ”push” the moose off the tracks.

I feel myself turning into a rural right-winger. Just get a dart gun and a truck, what the hell’s the problem?

Received my 6th COVID booster and a shingles vaccination. Scheduled out for a Tdap and final Mpox vax. Restarting CAB for PrEP that I halted at the start of the pandemic because nobody was out getting action, but things have now changed and papa bird can't fly on one wing. Turning into a goddamn pin cushion. Humans weren't meant for this. Gonna start listening to Aaron Rodgers.

Down to 197lbs due to intermittent dieting and no alcohol consumption (got the jump on dry January).

Saw the Faith Ringgold exhibit at MCA. So dynamic and vibrant. Absolutely wonderful.

Good, but exhausting day.

The internet tells me that adult moose weigh between 800 and 1600 lbs, so maybe they'd need a winch too.

I once tried to go hiking near Banff, only to learn that the trail was closed due to a grizzly eating a moose. Maybe they need a grizzly bear?

Yeah, that vaccine can really make you feel lousy, but this https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-con ... c-20351783 happened to someone I know due to shingles, so imo it's well worth a couple days of blah.
