Went to a baseball game? Got a tree? Share it all here. No Pokémon stuff (unless it ties in naturally) and do not share information that reveals yourself.
I will start it with this:
Just got my first Japanese maple, a Bloodgood.

I am a contrarian
I recently went to a 100th birthday party. This is the letter from the king and queen that you can request when you turn 100.
The last 5k I did, I placed in the top 30 out of 2700 entrants. …with a time 5 1/2 minutes behind the winner.
It wasn’t the most competitive 5k, but still, that feels like a huge spread at the front of the field.
Japanese Maples are beautiful. I have a large one in my backyard. Not sure how old it is, but it was about 12ft tall when I bought the place 8 years ago. I would attach a photo but it would unfortunately include my location.
That’s amazing! What was your time? My wife and I are really into our running.
23:05.
It was also 25F so pretty cold for the southeast United States. But that bothers me less than it bothers others around here.
Last week I finished my first marathon. As I’ve been running almost my entire life this was a long term goal of mine and I am happy to have finally achieved it.
Excellent!! ![]()
Colder the better for running as far as I’m concerned!
Amazing! What an achievement! ![]()
There is a group I run with once a week- any time it’s below about 45F the complaints start to come out and I get closer to the front of the field. And then the opposite happens if it gets above 70F ![]()
@Gstiess awesome! I’ve done a few halfs and a full still seems daunting. Congrats on that acheivement!
OMG same
I enjoy training and just running over the summer but I’ll avoid racing mostly.
I’m colorblind. Makes some Pokémon look crazy to me.
It’s me, I confess. I’m the crazy cat (and bug!) lady irl ![]()
I build/race RC cars. This weekend will be my first time racing 1/8 scale 4x4 buggy at a regional level event (assuming the weather holds up). I’m quite nervous ![]()
This beauty used to visit me quite often up until last year (hopefully it just moved.) Very friendly, incredible fur and the only cat out of a hundred visitors to get along with my neighbors calico. My friend who is also a cat person speculated that it might be some kind of purebred. I googled it recently and I guess it could be something called a Chantilly-Tiffany? It’s certainly not a norwegian forest.
My grandfather was a huge White Sox fan, and I got to go to a game with him and his train commute friends once when I was a kid. That was July 23rd, 2009, and Mark Buehrle pitched a perfect game. Watched a bunch of 70 and 80 something year old guys cry like babies.
I still have the ticket and it’s one of my prized possessions.
I’ll dox myself a little, here’s a picture of him and I a few years after that
