This is it. This is the weekend I point the Volkswagen towards Sabula, Iowa to retrieve the only bottle of Blanton’s in the world I’ve tracked down with a 9/1 dump date (which - again - is my daughter’s birthdate.)
If all goes well, Sunday about noon me and a companion will be settling into the Stalker’s Pub to trade one bottle of Blanton’s for another.
Also, if I die, it happened at Stalker’s Pub in Sabula, Iowa. just dig up the newly paved section of the parking lot. I expect it might turn out a lot like this:
The plan then has us swinging by the Field of Dreams before turning Cartolo Colon around and heading back east.
Happy Presidents’ Day weekend, if you’re celebrating.
The oldest opened browser tab on my computer
I’ve got some “interesting” news. My company’s IT department couldn't figure out how to change the domain for my email address, so they just shipped me a brand new laptop. Which, unlike most of their plans, actually worked.
What that means, though, is I have 0 browser tabs that have been opened but not read.
Feels weird.
On the work note, it’s been kicking my ass. I spent the first three weeks after my paternity leave not doing a damned thing. Now I am triple booked all day, everyday. Wooooof.

OK, I gotta get to sleep. Take care of yourself, and each other. If you’re one of the people that follows me on Instagram, I suspect there’ll be some live updates from the road … seeing as how I’m about to spend ~36 hours in a car over 3 days.

10pm coffee? Love it.
Godspeed.
Good ol' Sabula. It's pronounced Suh-BYOO-lah, btw. Now you can pretend to be local. :D
