Apple's WWDC: Gas Pump Quality Infotainment Apple demoed the new Siri which looks suspiciously like the old Siri they demoed ten years ago. I ran the worst five miles of my life, bringing shame to my family name, but thankfully not as much shame as Apple's WWDC keynote.
Are There Bears Under Your Stairs? The first bear of the season didn't just pass through. It strolled under a neighbor's porch and moved in. I have questions. I will not be getting close enough to ask them.
Five Dollar Movies, Seat 27B Twenty hours each way, basic economy, a guaranteed middle seat, and a business plan to sell movies from 27B.
Plowing Through the Creek for the KOM...Maybe A chilly June in the mountains, an empty pot never boils, a son newly hooked on Dragon Masters, HealthKit doubling my workout, and plowing straight through four creek crossings to steal a trail KOM…maybe.
Twenty-Two Cartoons to Twenty-One Rain scrapped my trail plans, so I hiked the route I have named the calf burner. Then I gathered the kids to vote cartoons off their custom channel and we went from twenty-two down to twenty-one. Plus S out with friends, and a grill I luckily never had to uncover.
Snobby Connoisseur of Software I'm a snobby connoisseur of software, and very little of it impresses me. Exhibit A: my Oura ring, banished to its charger, whose app omits my actual run from the suggested workout. Exhibit B: an Apple Watch that taps my wrist every five minutes to ask if I'm exercising. Yes. Still yes.
Caffeine in the Kombucha My wife bailed on bedtime to sew and watch a cooking show, blaming caffeine in the kombucha. When the Apple TV keyboard prompt popped up on my iPad, I helpfully typed B-E-D-T-I-M-E. Maybe it was me. Maybe it was a super powerful alien race projecting its will across galaxies.
Exercise & Dangerous Journey I ran the 5.5 mile round trip to fetch an Amazon package, down five pounds in two weeks. The cruelty of one meal a day: by mid-afternoon I'm in hunger torture, but once dinner finally lands I could almost take it or leave it. We also opened Dangerous Journey with the kids.
