Rain delay
As I was leaving a therapy appointment at HCMC, realized the Final Four title game was exactly six months after my aneurysm #thankful
She laughed in my face, told me good-bye. Said, “Don’t think about it, you can go crazy. Anything can happen, anything can end. Don’t try to fight it, don’t try to save me”

First game of the year and I got here the earliest ever
Sad times in Mill City :(
With the Wild out, haven’t watched any playoff hockey until tonight. Fun Caps-Carolina game, but Milbury irritates me

Think I heard a store manager say they would do $280K today
It won’t be too much longer
Uh oh: “None of the musicians now performing as Little River Band are original members” and none of them are from Australia
Player singing “Baby Come Back” at a casino in rural Minnesota is the best

First re-booked trip post-ICU: Vegas with SK next month
It can stop anytime now
Masters broadcast perfection
People have said a lot of thing about the Masters over the years, but the ability to follow Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia for their entire first round in HD on my AppleTV with no commercials, announcers that don’t scream and silence the majority of the broadcast (aside from the birds chirping) is about as good as sports TV gets, in my opinion. Add in a work-from-home snow day blizzard outside (with wife and daughter safely inside) + hot pizza from across the street + new levels in Two Dots = my favorite day in weeks.
They got out just in time
We now return to our regularly scheduled programming
Golf is like bicycle shorts. It reveals a lot about a man…

Still running WordPress (currently 5.1.1) with my custom theme and 17 plugins on the old Mac mini server colocated in Las Vegas. Favorite plugins: Wordfence Security, VaultPress, Intagrate and Really Simple SSL. Yes, I finally made the move this year to SSL using Let’s Encrypt, Certbot and that SSL plugin. I experimented with some form plugins for data entry on the golf, run and bike pages, but I didn’t like any of them. Planning to just write some custom code when I find the time. I’ve also given up on using a plugin to make the site more mobile-friendly, so at some point I’ll just have to learn the design and coding techniques to deal with that using my existing theme.
The old Tapemark Charity Pro-Am online leaderboards have a historical home now here. We had a new foodie join our team at the stadium, so I created a food page to summarize some of my favorite places in Minnesota. My upcoming races, concerts and sporting events are now displayed in the home page footer (and stored in a new database). The Biography and Résumé pages have some small updates. Video and photos still need a lot of love in the coming months and the mysterious SSL/emoji issue still needs resolution…
As always, thanks for visiting!
Onward to 3000
