I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

For a $23 speaker, it's really really good: [link] .

I have one of those. It has really good sound for something so small and inexpensive.

I do not, however, have a Viking ship hammock. So I have regrets.

I do feel like viking hammock stand is Tim's wheelhouse. Also, yay reasonable quotes and getting shit done (even if that's "hiring someone else to get other shit done")

I have a hammock stand as well. Because a hammock stand is better than no hammock at all.

Also, I would like to win fabulous prizes! But alas, no such contest here. But probably more of our people are doing it willingly, so....

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I scheduled Dylan's first vaccine dose for this weekend! Thanks, FDA and CDC!

Yay!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

The Ohio vaccine prizes thing is weird, but hey, I might as well register.

I need to work on getting outside some more. I want to find some relatively flat walking paths to try -- maybe even biking.

Ahem, hammocks belong between trees. If you do not have the trees for this to happen then you can't live a hammock lifestyle.

Hil, Wasson Way is very flat (since it was converted from a railroad.) Also the trails at Armleder Park.

I would not have pegged you as a hammock life prescriptivist. Will note in your file for future.

My dentist visit was, well, not delightful, exactly, but, damn, are my teeth clean! The people were delightful, anyway. And now I have a treatment plan to get all kinds of crap taken care of. You've been good to me mouth; let me take care of you now.

Ha! I was waiting for the hammock response from ND.

The most memorable hammock experience I have was a post childbirth visit to Key West. We had a room with a large balcony which included a hammock. (no trees) Baby Brendon and I spent countless hours gently swaying in the tropical breezes while Big Brendon waited on us. I often think if I could rig up a hammock with mosquito netting I could sleep outdoors in it every night. Should get on that plan....

It might also be time for me to attempt a news break. Between the Republicans shredding their party and the situation in Israel, horrific suffering in India, and and and, it is just overwhelmingly discouraging. Perhaps burying my head in the sand might help. I've heard ignorance is bliss.
