After hearing enough chatter about the band Goose, I turned one of their albums on today, and I think… I could become a jam band guy?

Though the cataloging and analysis guy in me is anxiously sitting here thinking “but that means I may only listen to a handful of tracks per day…”

The weather is just too nice… went out for my run over the lunch hour today. Ran my second mile in 7:43, which I’m pretty sure is my PR for a single mile. Fun to see my speed and stamina improving!

My MIL is coming from NC to visit us here in Iowa for a month or so. I’ll be out of town for work at least half the visit. (It’s not on purpose!) My wife knew her arrival timetable was a bit fluid but was surprised to find out she might be here by dinnertime tonight. Commence frantic activity.

Rewatching MAS*H and really struck this time by how much Alan Alda is doing his best Groucho Marx.

In tonight’s episode (S2E16, “Henry in Love”), Hawkeye is introduced as “Captain Pierce”, to which he adds “the African explorer”.

I mean, come on, that’s gotta be an Animal Crackers reference.

Yesterday after work the weather was nice to go for a run. I’ve been doing a lot of 3 and 4 mile runs the last several months, but yesterday I charted one at about 6 miles, and ended up running 6.5, and felt like I could’ve gone another couple miles. Wish I could bottle that feeling.

Well, Dallas is getting their butts handed to them by the Minnesota Wild here in Game 1. Not the start I was hoping for.

Went on a long run yesterday afternoon, stayed up too last last night, guess I shouldn’t be surprised to have slept past my alarm this morning. Oh well, it’s Friday, the home office is in the next bedroom over, the coffee is hot. Onward.

But wait, what’s this? If I launch Chrome from the command line like so it won’t enforce a minimum window width!

open -n -a ‘Google Chrome’ –args “–app=mastodon.online”

Now I start asking myself questions like “how hard would it be to vibe code an app that just opens a dedicated URL in a web browser at a preset window size?”

I let Google Chrome update and now my Chrome web apps (deck.blue, Mastodon) have wider minimum widths?!?!? Blows up my whole desktop arrangement. Grrr.
