I like writing about the worst day of a character's life; it lets us see the mettle inside. (Pronouns: RB/20 )

    Some books I love

    I haven't produced much content lately. Just not feeling "pony." Been working on some space opera I might post to Royal Road or Amazon or something someday.

    In light of my recent lack of content, have some of my favorite books:

    Me: What did you learn in school today?

    Kid: We learned about "SPQR" in ancient Rome.

    Me: Romanes eunt domes!

    Wife: What?

    Me: Don't worry about it.

    Bibliophilia across generations

    Kid: Daddy, I want to go to Barnes and Noble, please.
    Me: Sure. Why?
    Kid: I want to read the first book in the "Warrior Cats" series.
    Me: Reading is always encouraged in the house. Get in the car.

    <six hours later>

    Kid: Finished! Can we order the next few books in the series?
    Me: <pride>

Missed me · 8:27am Jun 15th, 2022

This week: my latest COVID exposure and Formula 1

So last Monday (6th), my idiot asshat boss called an in-person meeting. The person who sat next to me for two hours tested positive for covid the next frickin' day, Well, I just had another negative test yesterday (after several days in a hotel to avoid breathing on my family). The little bastard missed me. N95s for the win, again. This is like the third time an N95 saved my ass from a confirmed close contact.

Anyway, the Canadian Grand Prix is this weekend. Mercedes tends to embarrass themselves on street circuits, so it'll probably be a Red Bull vs Ferrari battle again. If Ferrari can avoid beclowning themselves for the third week in a row, should be a great race. Street circuits are my favorite.

And there are still people who claim that Covid is all over. Nope.

Personally, I don't want a neurotrophic and vasculotrophic virus that doubles the risk of stroke and diabetes two years and more out.
