A quick downpour washed over Zach and me as we were getting cones at Erickson’s this afternoon. On the drive home the cloud cover rolled on and left us this. Nice way to close out Pride Month!

Wow. This is an important book. Takes about an hour to read. Great for Hamsters.
“Here’s what’s important: You are allowed to be disappointed when it feels like life’s benched you. What you aren’t allowed to do is miss your opportunity to lead from the bench. If you’re not a leader on the bench, don’t call yourself a leader on the field. You’re either a leader everywhere or nowhere.”
6/19/19: My Highest Ambition
“Finally I am coming to the conclusion that my highest ambition is to be what I already am. That I will never fulfill my obligation to surpass myself unless I first accept myself, and if I accept myself fully in the right way, I will already have surpassed myself.”
6/16/19: Just Doing the Thing
6/15/19: Someone Else’s Survival Guide
Yep. Thank you, Victoria Valentine. Thank you, Hamsters. Forever grateful for this page.
6/8/19: Rental Car Coincidences
When it’s too expensive to bring your wife to Reunion Weekend, but the universe finds a way to send her with you.
6/2/19: Steady On
Steady on, Hamsters.
“China gets broken And it will never be the same Boats on the ocean Find their way back again I am weaving Like a drunkard Like a balloon up in the air I am needing a puncture and someone To point me somewhere I'm gonna keep my head on straight I just hope it's not too late Open up the gate I go straight on, steady on Steady on! I was feeling imploded A wooden smile, a wooden heart Then things exploded Like rockets in the dark Now I'm pulling out splinters And I'm off to hibernate somewhere For the nuclear winter Of another love affair Cause he seemed like a miracle I ate it up like cereal But it was something like shrapnel Steady on! It's like ten miles of a two-lane On a South Dakota wheat plain In the middle of a hard rain A slow boat or a fast train I am gonna keep my head on straight I'm gonna keep my head on straight Steady on!”
