2025 Reads: Say Nothing by Patrick Radden Keefe 📚

Absolutely brilliant, harrowing account of The Troubles in Ireland. Probably the best thing I’ve read this year so far.

Almost to the end of April, the #Cubs have played the toughest schedule in the league so far and have a 3-game lead in the NL Central going into the weekend? This is pretty fun. Wonder how long it can last?

This was the best concert experience of my life… and now they’re gonna remaster the live recording and release it on vinyl? Shut up and take my money.

I hope your day is perfect.

Screen captures from the movie Miss Congeniality. Host: "Describe your perfect date." Pagent contestant: "That's a tough one. I'd have to say April 25th. Because it's not too hot and not too cold. All you need is a light jacket."

Nice things to start my day today:

  • a long snap from my college kid about how awesome their yesterday was
  • notification of a Stars 2-1 OT playoff win
  • decent spring weather outside
  • extra time at the gym
  • Chick-Fil-A breakfast proteins

Come on, weekend, you’re only a day away…

Pushed my distance a bit this afternoon. Also, it’s sticky out there. Phew. #running

Good god this is frustrating. Dallas Stars have an amazing regular season, now they’re ready to go down 0-2 in their opening round series in the playoffs. Gonna be an early out and a really long offseason.

RIP Papa Frank. A life focused on ministry, a ministry focused on service to the poor and needy, the refugee and the immigrant? A guy could do a lot worse. Rest in peace and rise in glory.
