While the hair on top of my head has undergone some changes, I’ve sported some sort of beard continuously since January 2005. Seriously contemplating getting rid of it this week. I mean, if shaving turns out to have been a horrible mistake, it’ll only take a couple weeks to grow it back again.

Mavs somehow get the #1 draft pick? Sounds like the commish is making it up to the Dallas fan base for the Luka trade. #NBA

Also just kinda stunned that my video from last week is up over 100 views. Y’all need better ways to spend your time! 😂

Spoke again yesterday at the Adult Forum at my church. Last week was my story of Evangelical to Episcopal; this week was discussing hallmarks of Evangelicalism and how Episcopalianism contrasts. I get more opinionated in this one; I hope I’m still gracious and fair. ⚓

Excited for my oldest daughter who is this morning starting her summer internship with the Trane Corporation. One more year of college and she’ll be a full-fledged mechanical engineer. Where did the time go?

Snuck in a quick run before taking my wife out for Mother’s Day lunch. Ran the first mile in 7:58… first time I’ve ever run a sub-8 mile I think! Slowed down after that, 5k in 27:39. I think with some work this year I could get the 5k time down under 25:00. Worth a try!

Saw our high school’s production of Hadestown (which was FANTASTIC) the last two nights in a row. Fully expect to have the music stuck in my head for the rest of the month.

Well, that was delightful.

I know it’s just the beginning of May, but the Cubs are 8 games over .500, have a 4 game lead in the NL Central, have a +69 run differential, and are somehow doing it while weathering the loss of their ace starting pitcher? This could be a fun season.

Amused that this line about the heavily male engineering school I went to always gets the best laughs.

Here’s what they tell the women at that school about the potential of finding a guy:

“The odds are good… but the goods are odd.”

It’s a little too true.
