Fell while I was messing around dribbling a soccer ball around the pups (mainly because I got bored waiting for one of them to pee) and got a nice contusion on my right forearm.

Nothing like a wet rainy day and a pair of rambunctious pups that you have to thoroughly towel off and clean every time they come back in.

I really want to see Kelvin Sampson take his team all the way now.

Incredibly proud of the way the Zags battled down the stretch even though they couldn't quite get it done against Houston. Was absolutely willing them to bust my bracket all game long. It's a shame they got off to such a slow start.

10 - 2 Houston already. Zags literally playing themselves out of this game with a lack of toughness on the glass and quick 3s.

As usual up early on the weekend.

Raining sideways at the moment. I think the girls and I will have to run tomorrow.

SMC comes back to win 59-56 over Vanderbilt.
π MAR 21 2025 14:02
SMC getting absolutely smoked by Vanderbilt so far. There's time for a turnaround, but the odds are grim now that Marcialionus is on the bench with four fouls.

TIL: It's been 5000 days since George R. R. Martin published A Dance With Dragons.

Didn't get to watch the finale of Severance season 2 until early this morning, but it was as completely brilliant and unexpected as I had hoped. No idea where they go from here. ππ

Chelsea Gallagher, the principal at my son's high school was just named Association of Washington Schools Principal of the Year. I'm not surprised because I've always gotten a good vibe from her when I've heard her speak and I've been impressed with Mt. Spokane HS in general based on my kids' experiences there.

I genuinely get a kick out of all the ads we get during March Madness.

Zags absolutely came to play in the first half and jumped out to as much as a 25 point lead before ending the half up 48-27 over Georgia in the 8-9 match up.
π MAR 20 2025 09:37
Wow! I'm kind of shocked that there are no other Kelvin Samson believers in my work bracket. Lot of Alabama, Duke, and Gonzaga, but I'm the only Houston guy.

Wil Wheaton just announced that he's launching a new podcast next week: It's Storytime with Will Wheaton and I'm really psyched. It will feature short stories pulled from various online science fiction and speculative fiction magazines like Uncanny, Lightspeed, and On Spec.

My younger son will be taking his driver's test shortly. He's a year older than I was and has had a lot more practice than I had going into my test so I'm optimistic that he'll pass it on his first attempt.

The break room sink at work had some kind of sewer gas issue so I ate lunch at my desk. The smell in the kitchen wasn't quite as bad as I imagined, but still unpleasant.

Started drifting off while watching a Youtube video at lunch. Time to replenish my coffee.
π₯± MAR 18 2025 08:55
Another night of interrupted sleep and getting up early and it wasn't caused by the dogs at all, but rather my oldest daughter's laundry habits, and Mary having to open at work today. I may need a nap when I finish work!

I am dragging right now. At least I have unlimited coffee at home.

I'm so ambivalent about Gonzaga basketball right now that I filled out a bracket for the first time in years and picked Houston to win it all. Don't get me wrong, I want GU to go as deep as possible and would happily sacrifice my bracket to the cause, but I'm hedging my bets.
