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

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!

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

Good morning! May you have no regrets today. #MorningMug

The #OldGal posted a 3, strong work but not strong enough. Have a great Saturday!

This cracked me up!

A humorous dialogue is depicted in a meme format, featuring scenes from a movie with comedic text overlay referencing "Monty Python."

I am going to miss these days. Hard to believe after 18 years that it’s coming to an end.

The workouts you don’t want to do are the most important ones. I didn’t want to go to the gym today. I did anyway.

Today, I did a movement that I didn’t think I could do. I wouldn’t have done it if I didn’t show up.

Show up.
