Your job is not to always be there FOR your kid or with your kid because, with luck, there will come a day you cannot be there. Your job is to prepare your kid to miss you but still be ok. Learning not to always be there now is a gift to your kid of the future.

I get that

Why do I cover my good ear AND my deaf ear when things get too noisy?

I have wondered too.

For years, I have called the “creme brûlée brief” “a domestic turkey.” You can give it wings but you can’t make it fly.

The logic is impeccable.

Just realized that, next month, it will be 45 years ago.

A old-classic NYC cheap first date: we took the Staten Island Ferry, wandered around Staten Island for a bit, grabbed a bite, and then took the ferry back.

Vital, vital thread.

There is no perfect place to see Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai Across the Eighth Dimension--unless there is a theater that makes it easy for me to walk out.

Gorgeous!

OMG YES!

Eeewwwww!

That girl is all about the costumes.

6 yo: Aw, [4 yo], why’d you do that? We don’t even have any meatballs.

I have been riding underneath like a bad stunt rider for a bit now

Any music counselor knew this back in the early 70s. (That would be me.) It was how we faked being better at guitar than we really were.

I sure have. Thanks

If the law gets in our way, we’ll cut down the law.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Well, the dad you presented online was a sensible man. I therefore would expect nothing less. Just cookies, indeed!

During COVID there was no meaningful statistical difference between Ds and Rs for jail and prison releases. People were left to die by both parties as guards called in sick.

I needed that laugh

You and me both

Why not just go for First, 60th, etc?

Then pass the word loudly about the new USPS postmark handling.

That's the last thing my polling place needs. Only a few elections ago I processed curbside voting for a woman had just had surgery. She sent her niece in to make sure we put her ballot in the right place. She said law enforcement & poll workers used to play tricks & keep her from voting.

Our village clerk provides doughnuts mid-morning. We also get sub sandwiches for lunch (and cookies.)
