Oof. Puck Moonen kicks my ass in w/kg. And if she meets her offseason goals, she'll be right on top of me in plain ol' watts.

Well, I was surprised I hadn't even heard of it. I try to keep up on such stuff since part of my work involves counseling employers on discrimination/harassment issues and defending EEOC complaints.
Probably don't see it in use because I generally only correspond with lawyers and my clients' decision makers. And because Texas. People in general are more closed minded and guarded around here.

Speaking of Diamond Dogs-type... stuff... my wife has been having a frustrating time at work, recently, and she'll come downstairs to kvetch about this problem or that. I'm inclined to find ways of dealing with issues, whether they're technical or interpersonal, so I'll make suggestions like, "could you do this?" or "why not try that?"
To which I receive nothing but pushback - I can't do this, don't want to do that, etc, etc.
I think that I just need to fight my instincts and remember that she's not looking for solutions - she's looking for commiseration. I'll try to just shut my yap other than to say, "that sucks, honey - sorry to hear it. Would you like a glass of wine?"

This is what my wife told me. But she doesn't do as she tells me to.

My Y hoops team has started up again. Kids on the team have been getting vaccinated immediately after turning 12, so we'll have a mix. I recruited one of my son's friends. He's from Ethiopia, 5'6", size 9 men's shoes, hands as big as mine, and 11. Never played any basketball and is nervous, which is perfect.

Yeah, she's really liked the whole sparkling-in-a-can trend. She's also a light drinker, so being able to pop one and let the others sit 'til whenever is nice. My LLS didn't have cans in the cooler, though, so a bottle this time around. Maybe Costco will have some cans again when we make a trip later this week.

That's a good one.
This song may never be the same for me.

Our President is building s high speed rail project across the southeast part of the country. It passes within a stone's throw of the house. Every couple days we're treated to an explosion off in the near distance. I can't be sure if I'm feeling it in the air only, or in the ground too. I haven't heard of any houses falling down yet.
I've had to change up my routes to avoid the parades of dump trucks.

My bil is a breakthrough case. He got vaxxed, and then took few, if any, precautions. They offered him regereron, which he accepted, and is doing fine now, two weeks later. And should be immune, no?
Or moreso anyway.

My sig line says GFY because that's how I feel 99% of the time. Ok, it might only be 98.573% of the time.
