Home again. Good conference, if not a bit basic, but a couple of sessions did push me to learn more about mushrooms.

Yesterday’s outings to Pancho’s for beer and chips, and the to The Collonade for dinner, were fun, but very bad for my wallet and waistline.

Happy 5th COVIDversary everyone! Five years ago I left my office for the final time, well, except for returning once to claim my personal items. Five years ago today I was sitting at home watching The Dropkick Murphys perform their annual St Patrick’s Day concert, only this time to no audience.

Today I will be getting my second dose of St Patrick’s Day Mexican, since I will continue my tradition of Mexican on St Patrick’s Day. Yesterday I ate at the only restaurant in Mars Hill open on a Sunday, Rio’s Mexican Kitchen.

One of the ongoing tasks I’ve started this week is decluttering my inboxes by unsubscribing from mailing lists such as “hotel offers”, and “promotions”, in which I no longer have interest. Hopefully this virtual decluttering will inspire physical decluttering.

Added another raspberry plant and gooseberry plant to the ever-expanding WLF. How am I ever going to reach escape velocity if I keep planting long-term plants?

While it turned out that some of the hashers who ride on Tuesdays skipped last night’s Black Sheep hash, I had to skip the ride because Amazon didn’t arrive in time for me to drive to Decatur by 6:30pm. Instead, I spent time putting up the light which was delivered into the rack I salvaged from the trash recently, and transplanted some seedlings into Solo cups to put under the light.

Waited for the rain to stop before getting out for a walk yesterday. Fingers crossed, I will be making my return to Meltons for a bike ride tonight; need more time in the saddle.

I was pleased to sleep until 5:30am yesterday morning, until I remembered the time change had occurred so I only slept until 4:30am.

Did we move the clocks forward again? This morning I slept until nearly 6:30am!

Am I imagining more wind and stronger gusts this year?

Walked from the ITP Estate to meet my buddies at Manny’s Grant Park yesterday afternoon. Glad I didn’t cycle, because it was so darn windy. Didn’t know my night would end at Argosy in East Atlanta Village, where, I bumped into Terri, aka “Star Whore”.

No drinking for me today.

Nearly signed up for a full-day conference about mushroom growing in Griffin, Georgia which is being held today. I just couldn’t convince myself that I’d get enough out of it…

Everything I am trying to attend for this year’s Phoenix Flies is full. Weird.
