I got this account suspension email supposedly from Apple Store the other day.

It's phishing spam, of course.

I grabbed a screen cap of it, because it amused me.  The grammar in it is silly and atrocious.  I especially like how it's from "the apple customer service."

It kind of boggles my mind that scammers have the technology to send email like this, but not the language skills to write a proper email.  

But I'm glad that that's the case, and what's more that I'm not so easily fooled.

I've been working hard at working out lately.  It's starting to become a habit again.

5 out of 7 days this week, I've made locker 113 here my home for an hour or so.  I get my suit on, hit the shower, swim for 45 minutes, sauna for 10 until I'm dripping with sweat, shower off, and go to work.

I've started not just doing the routine, but actually looking forward to it, too.

So I broke the rules a bit on Wednesday.  I recorded myself in the locker room at my gym, after my workout.  

Why?  Because I was amused, and grateful for something they do there.  They play motivating music, all over the gym, and even in the locker rooms.  It's music meant to get you pumped up, be excited that you're there to work out.

It totally works.

I love comic books, and have ever since I was a kid.  My wife Missy, as I've written before, often will get hooked on things I like, and make them her own.  This is true with a tv show I love, The Flash on CW.  

The acting on the show is great, the special effects fantastic, and the plot has been slowly building to a reveal of a particular something all season.  

Missy doesn't know what the something is.  With my previous knowledge from the comics, I'm pretty sure I do.  Each week we watch it together, and I love the show for itself, but also because I love watching Missy get into it.  Last week she had us watch the ending of the episode about a dozen times in a row, trying to see if the hint it was dropping for this week was what she thought it was.  

I love that.  And I love her.

I'm a fan of niceness.  

I like being kind to others, and love it even more when others are kind. It doesn't have to be to me, either. In fact, I get a sort of secondhand buzz from the way people are kind to one another.  

Case in point: we just released a new episode of the Big Little Podcast, an interview with Sarah Plain & Small.  

It's really good. He's an exceptional guy, married to a wonderful woman who is exceptionally kind and open hearted. 

When we recorded the interview he had a terrible cold, which he was rather self-conscious about. In the posting on our Fetlife group ​he said as much. 

The listeners, many of whom are friends of his, very kindly assured him that it was no big deal, and that the interview was amazing.

They are right too. He's a wonderful person.  My heart is full from all the kindness of this.
