I have a closely cropped beard. I grew it in the pandemic just to see if I could. It didn’t look too bad and my wife didn’t object so I kept it. Beats shaving every day.

Go ahead and laugh, but just wait until the class gets to Beowulf.

In college, after working Friday night in the dining hall kitchen, a Pabst 16oz can was my shower beer before heading out to the weekend parties.

How I still got up to work Saturday and Sunday breakfast shift is nothing short of miraculous.

Plus overweight, bearded, and balding with a ponytail.

I will vote for Democrats for every position and hope like hell it all works out.

One-handed clap.

I don’t anymore. Besides an (unrelated) injury I no longer enjoyed it. Too many distracted drivers and it’s only getting worse.

I hit a deer while riding my motorcycle. I saw it crossing the road from my left, tried to evade it, heard the bang of my fairing hit it, and next thing I knew I was lying on my back looking up at the sky. I ended up with a shattered collarbone, broken ribs, and some road rash on my left side. I have absolutely no memory of falling or sliding at all (and I’m okay with that).

The most likely explanation for why I survived was that I was only going 30 mph (50 kph). That same day another rider wasn’t so lucky. There was a husband and wife in one of the cars behind me that were both EMTs and I got experienced care right away. Plus, I was wearing boots, gloves, a leather jacket, and a full-face helmet. The road rash was from my jeans wearing through during the slide.
