Next time I take a little nappy nap and set an alarm to wake up, remind me not to put the phone next to my head at full alert volume.

Oh konbini, I have missed you so, so much.

brb going to the other side of the globe.

Company summer event today cruising around Lake Michigan. Going up and down the rivers is cooler, but can't complain.

I'm always surprised at how few people crack their windows when they park outside in the summer. I hate getting into blazing hot cars, and maybe it doesn't make a huge difference, but it definitely makes a difference.

I don't mind Santana taking on the Thome/Cruz role.

I've got like a pinched nerve or something, and moving in certain ways is literally a giant pain (getting up from a supine position is the worst). I remember seeing a study somewhere that said using/muttering/yelling curse words was more effective for dealing with pain than using non-curse words in the same context. Honestly, getting in and out of the car, it seems to work a little bit. At least it feels worse when I can't use this strategy if the kids are with me.

I mentioned earlier that there were nearby places vibrating with cicadas, but seemingly none in my neighborhood. Well, I guess they were late risers because there's a symphony of them around here now.

This should be something...

Congrats to Joe Mauer on entering the hall of fame!
