I jinxed myself a couple days ago talking about a) My wife and I making coffee in separate machines, and b) My preference for glass carafes.
So yesterday I accidentally cracked the glass carafe on my coffee machine, rendering the machine useless. So this morning here we are sharing coffee from the same coffee machine and wondering why we were using separate machines in the first place.
It sounds like she's going to go for one of those $300+ machines, and since she's buying I have no qualms with it.

Got an email from Zwift yesterday, about my Zwift Academy results:
46 years ago in High School, I ran track. I was a sprinter. Apparently that hasn't changed. I did well above average (for Zwift Academy) on the Short and Medium segments, but below average on the Long segment. Guess I'll be sticking to the virtual crits!

Hey MoAlpha, I'm listening to another podcast (#P&R alert: Dispatch, Ben Sasse) and he said we've learned more about the brain through imagining in the last 20 months than everything we knew before 20 months ago.
Is that right?

I like the superscript "n", so the frenchies don't think it's Canadian Tire Body.

My son got his day at the Porsche Experience demo day that was in town. He seemed pretty elated.

Drove all those on the same day? That would be quite an experience.

It’s fun, but requires a skill set. But, even having never done it, you would enjoy it. I was never real good, and now I’m pretty rusty. I’m old and slow on bike and in car.
Here’s my filmed lap - plenty of missed lines:
