There is a biker gang in my neighborhood and they have recruited me as a member.

An electric mountain biker gang, specifically.

If you also like mountain biking and want to go for a ride, let me know.

I'm really glad the Hurricanes are going to pull this off, because I would have watched zero games of a VGK/MTL Stanley Cup Finals.

[Eric Peterson @ehp22]

I just shredded a box of ancient bank statements. Made me miss 2009 when most of my monthly charges were for $4 at Rancherito's.

[Eric Peterson @ehp22]

I get extremely sad at any milestone that reminds me that my kids are growing up.

[Eric Peterson @ehp22]

Nobody names things less creatively than lawyers.

"Hey what should we call our new law firm?"
"How about we just string together the last names of everybody who works here?"

[Eric Peterson @ehp22]

Which profession is most likely to give a son the same name as his dad? And why is it lawyers?

[Eric Peterson @ehp22]

Saw some families on the ship and thought "Well they're from Utah."

Now we're all at the airport waiting for the same plane.

[Eric Peterson @ehp22]

I don't check my gate number. I just walk through the terminal until I see people who look like they're going to Utah.

@brandosm I'm sure the gym is great, but I haven't seen the inside of it! It has been a fat week.

[Eric Peterson @ehp22]

I'm told this ship has a gym somewhere!

[Eric Peterson @ehp22]

My general rules for stairs vs. elevator on cruise ships:

-Alone
-Down
-Stairs for any number of decks
-Up
-Stairs for <6 decks

-With kids
-Stairs for <4 decks (up or down)

[Eric Peterson @ehp22]

In a cruise ship elevator, quietly judging people who are taking the elevator fewer decks than I am.

[Eric Peterson @ehp22]

I could see a Spirit/Frontier fare for $0 and still say "Ehh, let's see what else there is."

[Eric Peterson @ehp22]

It's not too late to do the right thing, Delta!

[Eric Peterson @ehp22]

I hope that 2026 is the year that Delta Air Lines announces a pivot to Starlink for in-flight internet service.

[Eric Peterson @ehp22]

My kids have been peer-pressured into choosing cheese pizza instead of pepperoni. As a supporter of their individuality and the primary consumer of their leftovers, that bums me out.

[Eric Peterson @ehp22]

Smith's can't give away their Peeps.

@dave_christison Bro who's worked at Domo and Qualtrics announcing his lateral move to Adobe.

[Eric Peterson @ehp22]

@ltm I suck at your game but I'm enjoying it!

[Eric Peterson @ehp22]

I've felt this way ever since I ordered a Mango-A-Go-Go at Jamba Juice in college.

[Kyle Treasure @KyleTreasure]

I just had to say “I’ll have a Find Me Dippin’ in De Clurb” to a grown man at this sandwich shop.

We need to stop it with the cute names.

[Eric Peterson @ehp22]

I'm still boycotting every company that obstructs the mountain vistas with dumb billboards along I-15.

Ken Garff out here like "Let me interrupt nature's majesty to invite you to consider whether pickleball is a sport or a hobby."

[Scott Wessman @scottew]

My least popular take probably is that corporate boycotts are mostly dumb because it is too difficult to assign an overall "good" or "bad" label to a given company. The equation is too difficult to get right, and everything changes all the time anyway.

[Eric Peterson @ehp22]

Some hockey helmet half-visor bros give guys who wear a full cage a hard time about it.

Even among the best players, stray sticks and deflected pucks find teeth. I won't seek an emergency dentist at midnight on a Tuesday because Mr. Moose Knuckle was careless with his stick.

[Eric Peterson @ehp22]

Really glad the rink had the AC/DC blasting to get me pumped up for my late Tuesday night hockey game against the Moose Knuckles.
