BEDRIDDEN LIFE
Family, Spam Emails, TikTok, & “Let’s Go”
Or Tweets, let’s be honest
The other day, I was up at four in the morning and heard two wild animals fighting outside. They must have been Americans.
Yesterday afternoon, my wife and kids were playing cards downstairs. I opened my bedroom door so I could hear them play. The sweet sounds of the people you love, I thought, who love you in return. But after hearing them bicker over the game for several minutes, I got annoyed and then shut my door.
Peak Tiger Woods was a beast. Sunday red. Laser-like focus. If not for the personal drama and then the car accident in 2021, I think he would have eclipsed Jack Nicklaus’s record for majors. Now, it’s not very likely.
This morning, I’m replying to my spam emails. Not enough people consider that spam, although spam, is sometimes a carefully crafted message by a human. So I’m doing my part to give spam the attention it deserves. Nobody else I know is doing this.
I feel so fortunate to have met a guy on Twitter with twelve followers who is a gamer, computer programmer, and self-described nerd. He’s given me the advice I need. The circumstances in which I met him on there are ludicrous, but that’s beside the point.
