We had just moved from Portland to Denver, and were trying new restaurants. One Sunday we ordered delivery from a local Chinese place that had good reviews. Food came, we ate and all was good for a couple of hours.

Then my wife said "I think I’m gonna puke* and dashed for the bathroom. Being the good husband, I followed her to hold her hair while she worshipped the porcelain god.

She had barely got done emptying the content of her stomach, when I literally had to shove her out of the way to emoty mine.

We were both miserable for about 36 hours.

I just finished listening to all 14 Honor Harrington novels.

I use Plex’s download feature to make sure I always have music available. The same could be done for other media but I don’t bother.

My Plex server runs in my home and all my media is available outside my home. A travel server seems like a solution for a problem that doesn’t really exist.

That’s funny.

I’m 61. My wife’s been in 24 years. We game together!

That should go to someone who has fewer means than I do. But thank you for the tip.

Besides I’m an XBox fanboy!

I think PE teachers often get a bad rap. I’m grateful that you got a good one also.

Two men other than my father had dramatic impact on my life. Both of them were PE teachers, one in elementary school and one in high school.

I was awkward, uncoordinated, and a social outcast. I was always the last picked when teams were picked. My elementary school PE teacher solved this by making me the “captain” and I got to pick the teams.

My high school PE teacher, who won State championships and coached future NBA all-stars still had time to be my doubles partner when we were playing tennis.

Those two men were definitely my champions.

I’ll join up. Thank you.

Oh believe me I’m well aware. But 99% of those auxilairies are LADYS auxiliaries. I don’t qualify.

Are spouses welcome?

Thank you for that.

Dementia.

My mother has dementia.

Every time I forget something I know I should know it terrifies me.

Well that’s the end of me ever doing anything productive for the rest of my life.

Fully agreed very heavy.

Love love love these books.

I’m a fan of capitalism, but not the kind of capitalism that decrees something is too big to fail and must be bailed out.
