Down and out for nearly two weeks! It’s been frustrating. But I’m finally out and about.
Man!
Apparently, the pneumonia is going around though. Another friend just came down with it. What?!
👋🏻 Hello!
Thanks for visiting! You'll find a bunch of musings I've been writing around these parts since the early 2000's.
Lately, I've been reviewing a lot of books.
But I also write about code and my experiments using generative AI.
But really, you're just here to see pictures of Benson.

The moment it happened
Skip to about 40 seconds in to see the action. The vocal urging, frustration at Dempsey’s miss, then pure elation when Landon scored were exactly the same at the pub I was at in San Francisco. It was an awesome moment that I won’t soon forget.
And they say Americans don’t like soccer.
USA advances!

Thanks to Landon’s heroic goal in the 91st minute, the US lives to see another day! We’ve reached our goal of getting to the second round. Whatever happens from here on out is gravy!
Next game is this Saturday against Ghana. FiveThirtyEight says the game is a tossup. It’s sure to be intense!
