Damn it feels good to be a gangsta.

A meek mild almost inarticulate little man in a constant condition of unworldly grease-coated dream like somnambulism.

You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door.
There is a small mailbox here.

The worst thing about Mastodon is how much everyone talks about Bluesky.

I guess I should finally do an #introduction post. 😅
Hi! My name is Brian. I’m the spouse of one and father of two redheads.
Originally from Chicagoland, I’ve lived in Washington, DC since 2003. I’ve worked on digital asset management and repositories at Apple since 2010. Before that, the Library of Congress. Mostly in #Java.
I enjoy #cocktails, #wine, & #coffee. I read Faulkner, McSweeney’s, sci-fi/fantasy, & software in my spare time. I am passionate about #urbanism and #transit.

Woof. I am SORE today. #BikeDC

I’m a little sore with a few scrapes, and she had one tiny scrape. Mostly scared and grossed out, as we were both covered in trash grease. #BikeDC

We got up, wobbled home, took a bath to clean off the grease, put on some band-aids, and caught the bus to school instead. City life. 🤷♂️

First wipeout this morning, with my daughter on the back. The garbage truck dumped their grease trap at the bottom of our alley, and our wheels just went right out from under us. (Is that even legal?) #BikeDC
