Quick look at an up and coming left-handed arm in the 2028 class of TN.
Sat 84-85 T86 with some crossfire action. Devastating against LHH’s. Broke off a breaking-ball in the 70-71 mph range

I was recently a guest on the Nano Cruising podcast, a show about small boat voyages. We discuss my rowboat adventure on the Mississippi River (including some very personal mental health challenges) and the resulting book, Crooked Old River.

@joshspilker I bet I’ve been to two movies in the last decade—both times because the kids wanted to go.

@bradluttrell Always Southeastern! But if you could put his DBT contributions onto a single record, that would equal Southeastern, for me.

@GingerVieira 100 percent. I’d give almost anything to put the needles away and ignore my Dexcom, even if it was only for a month. Just a break from diabetes, please!

@BenRavenT1D Ah, the “honeymoon period.” I went through that—started running marathons and eating a vegan diet. But I learned you cannot “lifestyle” your way out of Type 1 (or 1.5 LADA) diabetes. I hate to tell her, but her brother will be requiring insulin again in the near future. 😕

I don’t care about this stuff normally but seeing the replies of other people who seem to think you can live without insulin is extremely harmful to all diabetics. Fuck off work this shit.

My brother has adult onset type 1 diabetes, diagnosed 4 years ago. He has been a fit athlete his entire life (he is 34 now), including now. I convinced him to try carnivore and he’s been on it for 10 days now, he has gone from injecting 10 units of insulin per day to ZERO. He now only has to take metformin daily and his blood sugar is stable, he’s waking up at normal levels (around 100). Incredible stuff.

Turning all the boys,

@LauraNoraLou 100%. That boy has cried wolf one too many times.

@JonAcuff Don’t let anyone (including yourself) tell you that a subject has already been written about. There are 15,000 books on Honest Abe.

Look who came for Christmas! It’s Grandy, Jenny’s 94-year-old grandfather.
He told me I was his favorite relative, by a long shot, not even close, hard to even think of who is second. (His words not mine.) He also told me that they put you in jail if they catch you riding your bike with headphones on. Not sure if that one is true, but at 94 I plan to be telling some whoppers myself.
He’s a Navy veteran (Seabees), an identical twin and a Pensacola legend.
Every time I see him I ask if he’s meeting any new ladies at his old age home. (He’s a widower and part of the reason he likes me so much is that I’ve got a “fresh mouth” and ask questions like that.)
Here’s how that conversation usually goes:
Me: You meeting any ladies lately?
Grandy: At my age, women only want three things, a purse, a hearse and a banana peel.
Me: Meaning you slip on a banana peel and they get all your money?
Grandy: Now you got it!
Here’s to some new memories with Grandy this Christmas!

@JonAcuff I heard there was a secret riff
That David played to please St. Nick
But you don’t really care for music, do you?

@homejames4 Either that’s a tiny lowball glass, or you have enormous hands 😳
