My presentation to the CDC went well today. Now that that's behind me, I get to pack for a weekend at one of my favorite places (going to Vermont for a trail race)

In case anyone is following along, this just got Village Board approval tonight. 🍔

Not a done deal, but sketches of new Shake Shack coming to Kenmore?!? I was at the meeting last night and there are definitely both pros and cons (traffic, mainly) but I look forward to this project moving forward.

In Nov 2022, Twitter was going to hell so I started a Discord for people looking for a new place to hang out with like-minded WNYers: "WNY Left Twitter" (please, appreciate the double entendre) Last night, we all gathered and met in person, and it was wonderful. 🥰

A Western New York school district has halted its plans to place a humanoid robot in a classroom after a New York Focus report on the plan sparked fierce debate over the use of artificial intelligence in schools and backlash from local parents.

"I don't want to live like this, but I don't want to die." (Maybe not the greatest, but I've been feeling this lately.)

I hate it when I'm physically exhausted but mentally awake, my mind racing with thoughts.

My office smells like summer camp. If this were any other day, I'd call the fire department thinking my neighbor's house was on fire as I can see the smoke lingering in the air.

Mitch is alive and well... and in perfect hibernation 🎬 #filmsky #moviesky #cinema

Nice weekend getaway to Toronto for our 25th wedding anniversary where we had amazing seats for & Juliet. Went to Little Canada, did a street art and graffiti walking tour, and ended up in a Moroccan World Cup parade.

This pet snake, Pepperoni ("does not answer to it," according to the poster), escaped months ago and was seen, found, captured, then died. This has captivated Kenmore over the past few days. Wish it had a happier ending 😢

I can't wait to sit on this lawn today with my friends and family and enjoy live music. Hope you can join us.

Kenmore Porchfest organizing is DONE - now I have to get my own house ready to host. I hope you stop by on Sunday. I'll probably be on Knowlton Ave, but here's the full schedule: kenmoreporchfest.org/schedule/

I was feeling underqualified at work lately, but realized this feeling is just because I'm no longer the smartest person in the room. My team and manager are amazing and helped relieve some of these doubts today 🤩

I like all of your posts this morning 🌞

Good morning everyone! Polls open in less than twenty minutes. Make sure you get out there today before 9:00pm and vote Bojak (AD149) and Rivera (SD61)!

Yesterday, someone asked me if I know every Porchfest performer. Not a chance - there are 456 of them! (145 bands, from 1 to 12 performers per group)

Welcome to the week where I do not sleep. At least the gym is open

Half of Kenmore is at the Farmers Market where I picked up my Porchfest shirt for next weekend, hugged @ericnagel.com and most of his family and bought really great berries to go with that rhubarb. The other half is angrily making left turns almost into people because the road is closed. Ugh.

Between Pride and Juneteenth, June is a great month to find new people to block from my life.

Your reminder that “antifa” is short for antifascist. And you should be against fascism.

I saw two really stupid things trump supposedly said recently and thought there's no way these are real. Friends: they're real. He really said / did that ("most people don't know there's a b in dumb" and the chart of the reflecting pool vs skyscrapers)

I had 5 bug things to do in Q2. Running an ultra marathon was #3 on the list (time shown is moving time and really inaccurate, actual time was 9 hrs, 30 mins). 2 more projects left in June!

Just got a rejection for a job that I applied to (wait for it) on Jan 31, 2025. Read that again. Jan 31, 2025 That's 16 months ago. Well, at least I can't say Roswell Park ghosted me.

Subject line of the Democratic fundraising email I receive after electing the same person to Congress to literally stop these things from happening.

This isn’t supposed to be happening

The gym is pretty crowded for 430 am. I guess lots of people were having trouble sleeping last night

Perfect porch sitting weather. Just chilling, listening to music, watching people go by. I don't relax often 😊

I just had a 2FA code that was 666 047 How accurate.

Why is a 76-year-old man doing all the hard work in this moment? Where are the Millennial/Gen Z artists (ahem, Taylor Swift) to shake their audiences into sobriety about what is going on? open.substack.com/pub/saltypol...

In all my years, I didn't think I've ever heard the Canadian national anthem sung in French. Until tonight.

I hope I'm alive to see the ban on gas powered lawn equipment.
