Dolberg was plagued by bad news in recent times: He caught COVID-19 twice and had his €70,000 watch stolen.

So, the question is: Which is worse, catching COVID twice or having an €70,000 watch stolen?
I'd have to go with COVID. There's probably a higher statistical chance of losing your life from it than from having your watch stolen.
Stolen watch. If your wife finds out that you paid $70k+ for a watch that you told her was only a few grand, then you're certain to face an untimely death.

Listen, guys, save up your pennies. You've got 6 months until my next birthday. At which time I'll be expecting . . .

Sick for the first time in a year and a half...you know the last time it was socially acceptable to have a cold. I'm vaccinated, but still feel very self conscious about being sick.

Just got over a cold my two and a half gave me. Felt the same way. Even now with the residual I'm self conscious about it.

4yo just told us a "joke"...

Why did the bike start pedaling? ... Because it ate a donut.

6yo: I don't get it.

Somebody should make a t-shirt you don't need to turn right-side-out again after pulling off. After walking/jogging my dog I have to change my shirt, and I'm too sweaty to shimmy it off. Feels dumb to have to turn it right-side-out. Those of you with partners who lovingly turn your shirts right-side-out while doing your laundry should realize how lucky you are. ;-)

Maybe instead of an e-bike it was an O-bike.

Wouldn't that be something, a bike that runs on donuts? "One for you, two for me"

I do have reversible t-shirts, but the double layers of fabric mean they won't make good running shirts, unless it's winter? ;)

You know you've been in this crazy hobby a while when you pull out the Bergeon springbar tool to install a quick-release strap because it's easier than dealing with the tiny lever on the quick-release springbar.

Tap. Talk. Buy another watch. Repeat.
