Please note: I am not a restaurant.

[Eric Berg @ericbergpdx]

Well, Tweeps, I’m logging off. I might be back. I might not. Cheers!

[Eric Berg @ericbergpdx]

@ericswifetara @ericswifetara didn’t have to say, “Yes.”

Tomorrow is the Sunday before Thanksgiving. On the Sunday before Thanksgiving, 1992, Tara and I first kissed while cross-country skiing near Trillium Lake. I was 25, hot and fit. 1/?

[Eric Berg @ericbergpdx]

I’m still o.k. looking, I guess. Fit? Not so much. [sigh] 4/4

[Eric Berg @ericbergpdx]

On the Sunday before Thanksgiving, 2017, Tara and I overnighted at Timberline. It was the first time either of us had stayed in a room at the lodge. I was 50, o.k. looking, I guess, and much fitter than I am now. 3/?

I talked briefly with a personal trainer today about helping me set up a strength routine. “I have to warn you: I’ll whine,” I said. “Rule Number One: No whining or crying,” she said. “Fuck you,” I said.

[Eric Berg @ericbergpdx]

I searched for “beginning strength training.” Between this and Lingering COVID, I may never get my fitness back. [sigh]

[Eric Berg @ericbergpdx]

@Bule_Betawi Just like it looks: “em-pee-sell.”

@steeple3k Driving through Hollywood and up Sandy was slow going with all the traffic lights out.

[Eric Berg @ericbergpdx]

@steeple3k Everything's been fine in the NoSa grid.

@humatrouble @433 I’m not into this World Cup for all the obvious reasons. I don’t know if I’ll even watch matches. Except if Spain plays in the final since I’ll be in Sevillle that day. I don’t think there will be any escaping it.

[Eric Berg @ericbergpdx]

Have any of my Tweeps been diagnosed with #LongCOVID? Please DM. Thanks.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Daily reminder that Ticketmaster is a monopoly, it’s merger with LiveNation should never have been approved, and they need to be reigned in.

Break them up.

[Eric Berg @ericbergpdx]

My response to Mom’s suggestions for what to do for Thanksgiving. [sigh]

[Eric Berg @ericbergpdx]

@GVAJr77 @tradishskinbyrd You have to take advantage of those teachable moments.

[Eric Berg @ericbergpdx]

@GVAJr77 @tradishskinbyrd My 11 year-old nephew and I were swimming at a public pool this summer. A third or so of the other summers were Black. He was floored when I told him that when his grandparents (my parents) were married, Whites had laws against Blacks using pools in some states.

Example: “Look. I have a message from my Dougie Houser.”

[Eric Berg @ericbergpdx]

Is it ageist if I refer to primary care physician, who graduated from high school in 2009, as “my Dougie Howser”?

[God @TheTweetOfGod]

No.
