This scares the hell out of the so-called β€œtough guy” in the White House. Donald Trump, you and your ridiculous sycophants are incompetent and pathetic. #nokings #nokingsprotest #chingatumaga

I’ve been back from Japan for two weeks now and today I got a tattoo of the 1971 version of Godzilla to commemorate the trip (tattoos are the best souvenirs!). I’m stoked about how it came out…but wow! This one hurt like hell! #godzilla #kaiju #gojira

Last night I finished teaching my evening class and when I went to leave I was greeted by this charming creature…it’s funny how seeing a bat in the hallway makes me like my job even more! #bats #batsinthebelfry

Dems eye a villain-to-ally arc for Musk

If this little bit of speculation turns out to be true then the Dems are idiots too. Musk doesn’t belong anywhere near ANY government (or any business for that matter but c’est la vie).

This timeline that we’re on is so damn stupid.

Well, I’m either super motivated or simply insane. I’ve got my first half-marathon in 10 years on June 1, and today I registered for my first ever triathlon, which will occur just a week later.

First race of the year! This one was a 10K and I’m not as fast as I used to be BUT I’m happy to find that I am faster than I thought I’d be after such a long break from running races.

Registered today for the Dexter Ann Arbor half marathon…this was my very first organized race way back in 1999 and my first time back since 2014 when I had knee surgery. I’m both excited and a little nervous to be doing it again

Throwing back to the early 2000s and using MapQuest again because, so far, they haven’t bowed to utter stupidity. I’m really sick of stupid. #itsthegulfofmexico
