I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I’m imagining Steph chasing after someone with a paper-covered family Bible in her hands yelling, “Get back here! This smacking is for science!”

I look more rad than Lutheranism

You have to imagine me wearing a lab coat while I do it. For science.

And your evil hand is holding the Bible. Irony.

I'm kind of disappointed at how not-evil my hand is. Maybe when I get surgery for the left one, it'll become evil.

I think chaotic neutral is perhaps the best you can hope for, as your hand carelessly knocks over your glass of water.

Always Anti-fascist!

If that is an evil hand, I've had one off and on for much of my life. which might explain more about how things turned out if it was, like, "Stop hitting yourself!1", I guess.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

It's been ...a week here. Gary tested positive for COVID on Tuesday. I tested negative on both Tuesday and Wednesday. I may need to test myself again today, as I am a bit congested with occasional coughing.

My colonoscopy/endoscopy went fine, though the prep was a bit rougher on me that expected. Had trouble sleeping, and when I woke up at 5:30 to do the second part of the prep I got all turned around in the house. As I needed to use the bathroom quite badly at that point, the results were not pretty. They found no polyps, so I'm clear for 10 years.

I'm sorry to hear about the covid, Sheryl. I gather there's a new strain going around, and last year's booster doesn't help that much. It helps! But not completely. And now I'm worried about next year, when we may not be able to get boosters at all because RFKJ.

I need to keep uninfected, though, since I'm going to the UK in 3 weeks! Whoot! Gonna do a walking tour in Wales with a friend, and then spend 4 days in London.

Today I took the dog for a romp in the woods, gave her some training on my sister's dog treadmill, and did a bunch yard work. Now I'ma shower and maybe nap, and then I am going to a minor league baseball game! A classic summer Saturday.

Well, I just tested myself and guess what? Positive. Sigh...
