I’d like to take her bass fishing mostly. Going tomorrow actually. I think she’ll have fun Texas style rigging with the Yamamotos.

I think she’ll be patient like me. It’s the anticipation more than anything. Sometimes you get skunked though!

Thread away! I grew up fishing in Montana (North Fork, Jewel Basin), Wyoming, and Utah. So the fishing here is much different. In Spain I’ve only done spearfishing (Hawaiian slings and spearguns). But that looks to be changing!

My eldest caught a fish this summer and now has the bug. So for her birthday my mom brought to Spain everything she needs for bass fishing.

I had a dream @pattonoswalt.bsky.social was a dad at my kids’ school and I was talking to him about school things. Then he took my hand and we went skipping outside.

Jack Handey called Patton, who informed Jack that Patton and I were “taking giggles by the sea.”

A new inside joke for me and me.

We kept turning the page 30 degrees. No, that’s not right. And my (tomorrow) 10-year old. “I need to take a picture of this mess”

Trump, like his Russian siloviki counterparts, don’t believe in a rules-based order. And they view everyone who does as a chump.

One of the cruel ironies of Trump’s attacks on Jack Smith, is that serious, smart people like Jack Smith are exactly the type of people, and the temperament, we need it office.

My grandmother has a Hoover older than the State of Alaska and I never had to fix its flux capacitor.

Just sayin’, Dieson.
