Wishing the best of luck to all the @AGWC dark horses tonight, especially my @usairguitar compatriots!

After 12+ years of regular city biking, I finally got doored for the first time tonight. Thankfully just minor scrapes and damage.

Me: “Do you like whales?”
@ChamberMonster: “They’re a bit big for me.”

As Mondays go, it turns out that the one where you get to see a free, surprise Stevie Wonder show is a winner.

Among other things, today’s self-Googling informed me that robweychert.com is apparently worth $96,403. Consider it for sale!

Having somehow never seen it, I could only suspect that Road House would be the perfect movie for a sick day, and man oh man was I correct.

♫ Went to the doctor, guess what he told me, guess what he told me? He said boy I’m gonna prescribe you Flonase and amoxicillin.

I had to see it a few days late due to travel, but the final episode of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart was perfection.

Huge congrats to Airistotle (@aYo_MattBurns) on becoming the first ever three-time @usairguitar champion!

I’m in Portland and I don’t remember if people jaywalk here so I’m not jaywalking and it’s weird.

Those who feel the need to answer an incredibly simple binary choice question by writing in a third option are asked to leave immediately.

For those of you who prefer hurray to hooray, goodbye, and I wish you well in your future endeavors. Everyone else, beers on me. Hooray!

I have too many friends. Gotta pare y’all down. So, a poll. Which spelling: hurray or hooray?

It only took two weeks for @Strava to go completely off the rails. My first mile today apparently came in at 3:47.

Just bumped into @FrankConniff and told him I’ve been a fan for 20+ years.

Celebrating 5 years in Brooklyn tonight at @hellolanemoore’s @KnittingFactory show, and @paul_mar’s metal karaoke sendoff at @saintvitusbar.
