Just pulled off a D&D- style adventure with my 11 yo and his friends. They had a ball. A well timed deus ex machina helped the party end on time

Related: Google recently changed a bunch of its icons and for a short while I lost all my to-do lists. Seeing as how their business strategy is to make me utterly dependent on them for everything, they really should not fuck with me that way.

I just accomplished a lot for work, and I feel really good about it. Now I will take a few minutes to update to-do lists and document some of the things I did, and then I will eat lunch.

I stayed up to watch the Knicks Spurs game. My wife and I went out. This morning I am wrecked. Oh well. Exciting game!

Time is a phat circle

I'm in a McDonald's in a small town in Eastern Indiana while my wife attends an education conference. Bing Crosby is playing over the speakers.

I've been working since early this morning. Mostly a graphic design project (which I am terrible at) and a bunch of emails and scheduling and two phone calls. Anyway, it's 9:30 AM on Wednesday and when does this subway get to coney island?

-Who by worrying can add even an hour to their life? -Wait. Wasn't there a Gray's Anatomy episode where a guy was on the verge of venous collapse and only his constant worrying and therefore production of cortisol kept him alive long enough to get a diagnosis? -This brainrot generation.

A+ Dream

Reminded me that I made this

Just cooked pancakes, bacon and eggs for the family for dinner and while I cooked sang along to Sweet Child O Mine and Dream On

I am with my daughter who is having a cast put on. She had a bike accident yesterday but decided 8th grade graduation was too important to miss. She sang in the choir and walked the stage. Today, X-rays showed a broken tibia. Pink cast with black and gold sparkles!

Our 6th grader is studying statistics for the first time, and she is asking interesting questions. My wife's 8th grade logic class is also asking interesting questions. -How long has California been deep blue and Texas deep red? -What were the causes that led to their current party loyalties?
