The #OldGal had a case of the Mondays and scored a 5. I am guessing we might see a dog pile today!

Good morning! May your week be one rooted joy. #MorningMug

One of the greatest joys of my life has been watching my favorite baseball player chase his dream.

He took off his cleats for the last time yesterday.

I suppose it’s OK to give her the tie on Mother’s Day.

The #OldGal also posted a 4 today. I have a feeling it won’t hold up. But, the word hole today is real.

Good morning! May you experience rest today. #MorningMug

The pitching match up tonight in Detroit is insane. Patrick Corbin for the Rangers against the best pitcher on the planet, Tarik Skubal.

I hear Comerica is going to be packed. It’s going to have a postseason feel tonight, in May!

This is so much fun. #RepDetroit

It’s a dogpile day as the #OldGal simply keeps her streak alive with a 6!

Good morning! My hope for you today is that you will persevere through whatever circumstance you find yourself in. #MorningMug

A cozy living room features a lit fireplace, a large TV above the mantel, a patterned armchair, and a person holding a coffee mug in the foreground.

We spent the afternoon watching some SVSU tournament baseball. The game didn’t go as planned. But hanging out with the Michigan Capitol building in the background is pretty fun.

I need the Tigers to get back to the Eastern timezone. This west coast stuff is dumb.

Good morning! May you notice something that is good in this world and share it. #MorningMug

Big victory for the team today as the #OldGal posts a 5! I feel a dog pile coming on, #YoungPups!

Patio season is here in Michigan!

The #OldGal and I both scored a 4 today. Excited for some #YoungPup 3s!

Abbreviated workout today, but it’s better than nothing. #Discipline2025

A fitness app summary displays workout details, including muscle groups targeted, exercise types, calories burned, and volume lifted, along with photos of exercises being performed.

I see a lot of people on the Fediverse talking about getting off the Apple and Microsoft trains. But, I don’t see alternatives ever suggested. So, what are the non-Apple/Microsoft alternatives for laptop, tablet, and phone (I’m assuming Google is also a baddie)?

Good morning! May we offer empathy, compassion, and kindness today. #MorningMug

The #OldGal took advantage of my bad day and posted a 3. I am sure she is giggling…

Do we have a #YoungPup 2?

A fun workflow: sermon recording to MacWhisper for transcription to Gemini for editing and formatting, export to markdown, paste into Obisidian and publish to micro.blog. It takes all of about ten minutes. Fantastic! #pastor #tech
