Mae Jemison, Sally Ride, Margaret Hamilton, and Nancy Roman going for a ride with Batgirl.

Ok, here goes, submitting a talk to Kafka Summit NYC. I don’t expect to be chosen, but it’s been a while since I even submitted a talk idea.

I’ve missed a lot of restaurants!I wish we got the same daily restaurant coverage in The Growler that we got in Heavy Table.

Well, if it’s above freezing when I wake up, I guess I should take the studded tires off 🚴🏽‍♂️

I just signed up for a half-day meditation retreat. 18-year-old me would be so angry right now. But 44-year-old me is excited!

Running a Girl Scout meeting continues to be the most exhausting thing I do. Which, considering the state of my life, is saying something

Leaving this as reminder to myself when I need to buy my next bullet journal: In Defense of Paper

Lessons learned from my first time at a meditation center

• bring a sweater
• they provide pillows
• meditating around others is distracting and hard

Continuing to work through my excessive beer cellar. Today, 2007 Thomas Hardy’s Ale

The fun part of this one is done. Now we’re just grinding out the trees.

Apparently the universe supports my plan to start winter biking tomorrow. Sadly, it chose to support this plan by sending someone to sideswipe and wreck my parked car overnight.

Tonight’s beer (and beef stew ingredient). In a sign of my advancing age and also just how much damn Darkness I have in the basement, I thought this bottle was recent. It’s from 2012. 6 years. And I still have a shit ton of it.

Seeing a nice round number makes a shitty day slightly better.

🐶 Dog art.

The new dog has inspired some poetry.

One quarter of a year of daily meditation (more or less, years are hard to divide evenly)

Why Does Andrew Zimmern get to create the next PF Chang’s? Good Question! And one I’ve been asking myself since first hearing about this place. The “I’m saving the souls” line does the dude no favors.

I sometimes wish I hadn’t discovered my neighbor’s “take a puzzle, leave a puzzle” box.

Welcome to the family, Rumble.

The Migrant Kitchen a TV show that I just found out about & am excited to watch! Thanks for the tip, Civil Eats

My kid refuses to read Harry Potter, but she knows that I’d be put into Slytherin.

Goofing off with the ca-mera app.

These are jokes for me. Nihilist Dad Jokes

Tonight I’m attending a pub trivia night on doctor’s orders. Not a lie.

🚲 First really cold-weather ride of the season & I was not ready for it. After frantically searching for all my gear this morning I managed to cobble something together.

Thanks for being with me for 13 years, 4 months Tango Louise VonDingo. We will miss you.

In theory these will be tasty fermented garlic miso in about a week. youtu.be/xnZM05vET…

The marketing text on cheap toy boxes may be the best part of my kid’s birthday.

I could check the internet and be stressed or I could make a birthday present for my kid.

Done. Now I can stress out about it for the next 36-hours to 2-years.

An excellent night to listen to the Erased Tapes catalog. The Rival Consoles & Nils Frahm releases are probably my favorites, but I’ve liked pretty much everything I’ve heard from the label.

Their Vimeo is https://vimeo.com/erasedtapes if you want to sample a bunch.

Every Halloween I survey the scene and come up with the exact same answer – fun size Snickers are the best candy.

247 RSVPs for the conference I help organize. Room holds 250. Eep.

I didn’t expect to be projecting Hausu on 35mm tonight, but here we are.

Turnout tonight is pretty good!

The grids on a bullet journal come in pretty handy.

A successful tour of taco trucks on East Lake Street.

English muffins, for when you want to take a very long time to make breakfast.

1/6th of a year in Headspace. The last week or so has been a challenge. Weird schedules, a resistant brain, etc.

I like days when I get to scribble set operations on a whiteboard.
