Drive In Doowop
Waiting for the Doo Wop Project’s Drive In event… they filled every other spot in the parking lot… big stage… spots in between are for sitting.
In November 2018, we went to Orlando to perform the Parkeology Challenge.  We came close, but did not succeed. We had always hoped to try again, but illness, as well as the pandemic restricting travel, had pushed it off. Now one of the team is no longer with us(the one who took the photo).

I’ve never been particularly good at speaking of those who have gone, and the stories I might choose to tell are probably would not do justice to the memory.

There is little to say when someone is taken from their friends and loved ones too soon. When we were kids, he, being a few years older, was primarily my brother’s friend, but we all did things together…our families frequently got together. It is hard to accept I will not see him again.

What's the easiest way to do this?

New post: fluffy rambles: A decaf coffee rant beesbuzz.biz/blog/11062-A-d… #Coffee #Caffeine #Rant Why do so many roasters seem to think that decaf coffee isn’t worth doing a good job on? The whole reason people drink decaf is because they like the flavor of coffee, but don’t want…
Today I was training a client from South Dakota and he was confused when I said “route” - I pronounce it “root” vs “rowte”. Where are you from and how do you say “route”?
Hmm @BusinessInsider feels like you should credit The Verge for the news not just the spokesperson comment? businessinsider.com/facebook-moder…
Look, you can snark all you want, but I’m telling you right now: if I suddenly became CEO of Twitter, you bet your bottom dollar I would rock the tie-dye. (Not the beard though. Mine just doesn’t grow out that full. 😕)

What a fail. I'm 3/4ths of the way through watching Braveheart on @PrimeVideo and the stream fails, but when I try to resume, it wants me either pay to rent it or start a Starz subscription trial. What gives? boffosocko.com/2021/07/23/557…
