I am completely incapable of growing any kind of respectable facial hair. If I don't shave every other day it looks like whatever the lions got their fill of, and the hyenas couldn't be bothered with.

Fun story. When I was 16 or so, I stepped into the 80+ mph batting cages. NOPE. F*ck that. I don't know if you know what an 80 mph ball looks like? It's f*cking terrifying. I can't even imagine what a 90 mph curveball looks like.

If everything had gone according to plan, I would've played 3rd base for the Chicago Cubs from like 1999- 2015. I may need to rethink my career trajectory.

I've never fully understood how half of the internet is obsessed with coffee. I love coffee, as a treat once in awhile. That people can't seemingly get through a morning without it is strange to me.

The important thing is now the Styx iconic song "Come Sail Away"is stuck in your head. They said, "Come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me Come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me Come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me, Come sail away, come sail away

She's only ever left the States on cruise ships before, so I need this to all go really well. So anyways in about 2 weeks I'm shippin' off to Iceland. Wish me luck!
I'm just a Rob in the world (@expatrob462.bsky.social) reply parent
Anyways, I have an upcoming R&R. And I've decided to go to... Reykjavik. As kind of a reconnaissance mission. Check out where the condo is, restaurants nearby. Get a lay of the land. I haven't been there in like 13 years. So I just want to make sure my then 74 y.o. Mom is comfortable and content.
I'm just a Rob in the world (@expatrob462.bsky.social) reply parent
It's a direct flight. And happily she's totally on board. Already studiously researching which tours she wants to go on, etc. I also agreed to cover airfare and hotels for the sisters, nieces/ nephews too. But I haven't heard back if they're planning on coming.
I'm just a Rob in the world (@expatrob462.bsky.social) reply parent
So I booked a 2 bed/ 2 bath condo in Reykjavik for the week. Why a 2b/2b? Aug 12th also happens to be my Mothers birthday. So for her birthday this year I called her up. "I'm going to Iceland for the eclipse. I would love it if you want to come, too. I'll pay for your flights, everything.
I'm just a Rob in the world (@expatrob462.bsky.social)
So, okay long story. On August 12, 2026 there will be a full solar eclipse that passes over Iceland. I've never experienced a full eclipse in my life. A few partial ones. But what better place to witness such an event than against the stunning backdrop and beauty of Iceland?

Honest question. Can you have Chicago cops follow them around everywhere they go? The moment one of the NG, or FBI, or DHS goons steps an inch out of line, arrest them. Make an example of them. Booked, spend the night in jail, stand before a judge in the a.m. That might resonate.

There's at least 4 Earth moons. I can prove it. We've all seen a moon out in the day time, so between us and the sun. That's 1. In the night time, there's one farther from the sun. That's 2. The same thing happens south of the equator. I've seen it. That's proof that Earth has at least 4 moons.
