Two straight days of playing tabletop sports games (Red White & Blue Racin’ and Ball Park Baseball), I would love this to continue.
We’ll see.

Let the record show that I made it almost 14 months between visits to McDonalds for breakfast.
I was lazy this morning, and impatient (didn’t want to wait in line for a bagel).
I felt kinda gross after I ate there.
Here’s hoping it’s a longer time until my next visit.

This is the longest I’ve sat and watched the Daytona 500 in a while.

My promotion to my current position at work has changed the way I look at a lot of things, and I’m not sure why.
I feel like a grown-up.
It’s weird, but that’s just how I feel.

Maybe it’s because I turn 56 this week.
Quantumania
I liked it.
Of course there are better movies, and better Marvel movies.
But this? More entertaining to me than I expected.
Maybe that’s the secret, which I’ve been saying for a while, the newer Marvel films (i.e. post-Infinity War/Endgame) can’t be fairly compared to what’s come before.
Rather, they have to be looked upon on their own, despite having familiar characters from previous films/Phases.
They’re telling another story, the next big saga in the Book of Marvel.
Don’t expect them to wow you, just be entertained. And I was, to be honest.
And if this Phase of movies don’t appeal to you, go back and watch the older ones, or wait for what comes after Avengers 6.
The only thing lacking in the film was an appearance by Luis.
And M.O.D.O.K. was more awesome than I expected him to be.
And if I’m being totally honest, you can probably wait for it on Disney Plus to see it, but the film looks great on the big screen.

- I’m backing out of my garage and then an Uber/Lyft driver stops right behind me, turning on his blinkers. I walked over where he could see me, pointed at my car, he rolled the window down and said, “Are you pulling out?” WTAF?
- Minutes later, driving to work and realizing that I forgot my phone. Drove back to get it. Groundhog’s Day.
- Driving on the freeway and it must be ‘Don’t Use Blinkers Day’ or something, worse than usual.
- Dropping off an outgoing shipment to the mailroom, asked a ‘simple question’ that I can’t simply answer, for something that the questioner should open a call for.
- Order lunch for pickup, and they’re so busy I wait an additional 15 minutes after I get to the restaurant for my order.
