A six and I was lucky.

The #OldGal got a 4.

I feel like this will be a tough one for the #YoungPups.

I know of no more poignant contrast between two human destinies than that of Peter and Judas. Both assumed leadership within the group of Jesus’ disciples. Both saw and heard wondrous things. Both went through the same dithery cycle of hope, fear, and disillusionment. As the stakes increased, both denied their Master.

From: The Jesus I Never Knew by Philip Yancey πŸ“š

If this isn’t a β€œbut by the grace of God go I,” I don’t know what is.


Good morning! May you create opportunities to be present in the lives of others today. #MorningMug #MorningBlessing

The #OldGal forgot to take her PEDs today, apparently and dropped a five. I think she felt bad for the #YoungPups.

The #OldGal with another 3! #YoungPups, she’s on some sort of performance enhancing substance.


Live music is great! It’s even better when your pal is the guitarist!


Good grief, I just saw an ad for a Detroit β€œClassic” Rock station. The bands in the commercial?

Metallica Guns n Roses Pearl Jam

I am not this old.

Am I?


As excited as I am for the Tigers game, I am dreading the Red Wings game. But, just maybe, they can start a new heater after being on an epic cooler. βšΎοΈπŸ’


I am inordinately excited about this event. To see all these dudes playing ball today is going to be really fun! Spring Breakout: Tigers vs Phillies ⚾️


The #OldGal came in this morning with a strong 3! She set the trap and I walked into it and take my defeat like a man.

Dinner tonight was fantastic!

Garlic toast, steamed broccoli, pan friend chicken seasoned with Italian seasoning and balsamic vinegar, on a bed of protein pasta with tomato basil sauce.

I either need Gluon to have the responsiveness of the micro.blog app or micro.blog to have the reply all and share functionality of Gluon.

The #OldGal came in hot today with another 3! The #YoungPups are going to have do some work to beat her today.


Are you an 80s kid? If so, I have two podcast recommendations for you. Both of them are from @retroist@mastodon.social. The Retroist Podcast and The Video Store Podcast. It’s all nostalgia and fun! A welcome reprieve from so much of the other stuff out in the world.


The #OldGal dropped a strong 3, despite a morning headache.

I however dropped this on her…
