• Ha, I found spots all over the windows and closet doors in our bedroom and could not figure out what they were from! It finally dawned on me early in the am as I was spraying at Apollo with the water bottle because he was waking us up too early – the spots are from my poor water bottle aim. HA.
  • I support a few podcasts and one artist on Patreon. As part of supporting the dailypurrr artist, I got a dailypurrr style drawing of our cats (oops, sorry I excluded you, Khali). This account cracks me the hell up. Follow it on Instagram! The delivery on there is funnier, because you see the line drawing, wonder what the hell is going on, then swap to reveal the photo that inspired it.

  • This is old news, but Shalane Flanagan is my favorite (now retired) distance runner, and she’s been talking about wanting to adopt for a while, and I was so excited to see her bring home her son Jack last week! All the heart emojis!

  • Ha, I’ve had some amazingly silly blogging requests lately. One was to post an infographic about dogs because I wrote about hot dogs once. Huh? The other was to post content for Adidas for free, with the chance to maybe get paid some day down the road, for something else. No thanks! (But hey, Asics, hit me up.)
  • I learned a new weather phrase on Sunday – pneumonia front. It’s when the cool water in the lake develops a lake breeze that causes a huge temperature drop, and is unique to the western Lake Michigan shoreline in the spring/early summer,. From wikipedia: “These fronts are defined as lake-modified synoptic scale cold fronts that result in one-hour temperature drops of 16 °F (8.9 °C) or greater.” We definitely had one of those Sunday night! It was in the 70s and dropped fast to the 40s. Brrr.
