Hello, I’m: Trying My Best

My favorite Doctor and companion

I envy that level innate enthusiasm.

Arizona should be Iced Tea

You’re adorable. Let the excitement jump through.

That looks like an awesome Space Invaders setup. I want to play!

I really want to go to the Rugby World Cup in Australia in 2027, but I also really want to visit New Zealand for the Lions tour in 2029.

It was so much easier to save up for things before we became parents.

Campgrounds (11)

I need another vacation.

I’ve relistened to Metals more.

My wife and I followed the British and Irish Lions rugby tour to Australia in 2013, for our 5th wedding anniversary. It was amazing!

Furthest I’ve been (so far):

N Edinburgh, Scotland
S Melbourne, Australia
E Sydney, Australia
W Kauai, Hawaii

I would love to see real water taxis like those in Victoria and Vancouver instead of the BS “water taxi” ferry we have.
It should be easy to get from below the Ballard locks to Discovery Point, the cruise terminals, Olympic Sculpture Park, the ballparks, and Alki by water via an ORCA card swipe

Led Zeppelin I-IV and Houses of the Holy
CSNY - Deja Vu
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours

I could go on and on.

I would say the latest album (non-compilation) that I would include is Get A Grip by Aerosmith

Stop scrolling and post two characters that bring you joy and happiness.

Best of luck. Have fun.
Summer days with siblings and cousins and grandparents are special.

This is hard! I was really tempted to go with “People are People”, “Don’t You Forget About Me”, and “If You Leave” but it felt like it pushed things to New Wave / Pop

You got me thinking. I should head to bed but first, what do you think of:
The Clash - Should I Stay or Should I Go
The Cure - Lovecats
Prince - Baby I’m A Star, Raspberry Beret, and Kiss
The Cure - Just Like Heaven
Jane’s Addiction - Mountain Song
Stone Roses - What the World Is Waiting For

I think this at least 5 days a week

This is great! I’m going to have to start one.

Beabadoobee and Maggie Rogers/Sylvan Esso with some great covers.

Dang. Well done.

My favorite I’ve seen was “I’m feeling off…”

I was so looking forward to finally meeting you at WorldCon but we have to fly down to figure out long term care for my father in law.
Have an amazing time. Enjoy Seattle. Good luck on your Hugo. 🤞🏻

What an amazing through concept for tattoos. I love it.

Why did this one make me feel so much older than other 30+ year old album announcements?

He’s not beating himself about anything, and he’s clearly enjoying playing with this new young batch.
My only LFC jerseys so far are Gerrard and Salah. I can probably only afford one this year. Diogo home kit? Goalkeeper alternate for Becker? Third kit for Wirtz? Salah again? So many hard choices… 😩

There’s not much better. I love that man.

“You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people”

Great read, even if I’d prefer to believe Love Island and shows like it didn’t exist.

I especially appreciated the line that “full-throated embraces without any room for even questioning what we’re consuming does a disservice to us and the art itself.”

I made it to one gig with the new lineup backing Kele and it just wasn’t the same. I need to check out what Russell and Matt are each doing these days.
