Roy, we stole it from you guys 10-15 years ago. Depending on where you get it, it can be anywhere from truly awful to sublime.

We'll have to agree to disagree on that second one, but otherwise, this is a solid list.

Thanks again, Angela! I appreciate the support and the share.

Trumpists, 2017-19: The president controls the stock market!

Trumpists, early pandemic: The president can’t be blamed for this crash

Trumpists, Biden years: (oddly silent)

I had a great time chatting with @meledits.bsky.social on her Deliberate Freelancer podcast! Check it out if you have an interest in freelancing and/or you need a break from your doom-scrolling.

Aw, thanks, Amy! This fractional gig has ballooned to 30 hrs/wk, so scheduling is a challenge, but I'm hoping to make it to one at some point.

Is it just us? Does this happen to accountants? Engineers? Park rangers? Astronauts?

Purely virtual. And no, I will NOT be posting pictures of my sweaty ass at the end of a 50-mile ride. 😀

This is the same @stebbinsmatt.bsky.social who convinced me to join him in cycling 500km over the last 8 days of this year.
