Welcome to the Bucket

BIRDS

Saw a loggerhead shrike in Florida for the first time (March 12th), very cool.

Saw a belted kingfisher dive for a fish yesterday, May 17th. Big splash, then the krik-krakking as it flew off. Not sure if it caught a fish.

BOOKS

Current Reading

Trying to make my way through Charles Dickens entire series of novels, may have skipped the Pickwick Papers. Finished Barnaby Rudge, now about 70% of the way through Dombey and Son Edith is one of Dickens' more interesting characters. Also Mr. Dombey deserves everything he gets. What a specimen.

Recently Finished

Finished Dicken's Barnaby Rudge as mentioned above, quite a entertaining read to say nothing else.

GAMING

League Esports

The Spring seasons have been wrapping up. Just watched Flyquest upset Lyon to clinch 4th place in the playoffs, that Nasus performance had me feeling the itch a bit to play League.

QUIZBOWL

Finally submitted the packet to play Chicago Open 2026. Unsure how the team will turnout, still kind of in the air. Lowkey (still) don't have high expectations, but hoping one or two of my question submissions might be used.
