But who’s counting?

This came together better than I thought it would at mumble-mumble thirty this morning.

On the news, they’re doing spring break stories:

Outside, we’re waiting for more snow.

This, for the record, is about two weeks after that nonsense should have stopped.

Which way was that again?

It’s a good thing they put that sign on the end cap, otherwise I might not have realized this was where Hobby Lobby keeps the arrows.

But what if this confuses people? The arrows are all kind of pointing in the same direction. A customer could reasonably infer that the arrows are on the back wall of the store. Shouldn’t the arrows all be pointing to the arrow sign? Or each other?

Or was there a larger stash in the back? A better stash? More colorful and will more textures and features?

We could make jokes about this, and arrow jokes are trending up these days, of course, but it is possible, but I didn’t walk through every aisle.

Today’s personalized cufflinks:

Two more I made. If I find enough playful buttons to convert into cufflinks I might find one for every shirt in the closet. The shirts are tucked in next to the arrows.

Student television!

It should be spring, but it’s Indiana

Meteorologically speaking, Sunday was … well, not as bad as today.

Yeah, it’s a legitimate weather event.

I mean, really:

Of course, I saw tulip bulbs on Friday, which, here, means about four more weeks of winter. This is a thing that happens.

Once more, and I can’t stress this enough:

And if that wasn’t enough, this is today:

I am serious about being casual

Today I decided to rock the fox cufflinks:

I have some cufflinks, of course, and I’ve settled on my preferred style. These are close to them, and I made them. It’s simply an oversized button, a few links of chain and a smaller button. Open the outside links of the chain, feed them through the clasp, close the loops up and there you go. Now, the smaller button is on the inside, and you can feed it through all of the french cuff button holes. The bigger button won’t pass through and so the cuff is sure to be held together. Plus, in this case, that’s a colorful cufflink!

So I’m wearing cufflinks, but they are silly.

Student television:

And television at home, as we head into the weekend:

We’re watching all of the episodes as a ramp up to the final season of Game of Thrones. Six episodes each weekend until the final shows. It’s about to get painful.

Hittin’ my stride

There I was, trying to do a duckface after a 10K … It snowed in the morning, but was sunny all afternoon. The wind was this series of ridiculous, swirling gusts. At one point, in a distance of less than 50 yards, I got 20-30 mile per hour winds from three different directions. Serious wind. So there I was, at the end of this little run, trying to make a duckface …

“Hey! You’re getting in the way of me trying to make a duck face so I can put that over Greek mythology jokes on social media!”

This evening was a speed workout. I don’t think I go any faster during it, and I have seen no cumulative effects. Not that I expect any, but still. It’s my second least favorite run. The Yankee is getting faster because of them. This is having a negative effect on me. Do you know how hard I have to work to get far ahead of her?

I need to be that far ahead so I can get my phone ready to shoot video. And I have to do that several times so I can make a little video project:

I’m telling you, she’s really benefiting from those speed workouts. Me, not so much.

Elsewhere, still more people who are better at athletic things than I am!

They said she wasn’t even trying to do much here, either, which is mind-boggling, and more than a little intimidating.

She’s looking to nationals, you see. So that, to the two-time gold medalist, is taking it easy. Unreal.
