She's a good kid, I'm more worried about when she turns 16

#Flyers not looking great, but I'm not impressed by the refs tonight

Yesterday I finished another book for #rootrootread - We Are Big Time, by Hena Khan and Safiya Zerrougui.

It's a middle grade graphic novel based on the real life story of Salam School's girls basketball team of 2018-19. I enjoyed it, an above average graphic novel for 3rd-6th grade

Thanks! I'm not too worried, each stage of life brings its own joys and struggles. The real fun will be in two more years when I will have 3 teenagers plus a 9yr old 😬

Book 2 is a Pearls Before Swine Treasury. I love this strip and Stephan Pastis's commentary.

(I read this for 30 minutes straight at least once)

Book one: Rocks of Ages by Steven Jay Gould. I thought I'd love this one as I enjoy Gould and discussion about science and faith. This book was really dry and technical and not fun to read. Luckily it was short!

(Author of a different religion, Gould was an agnostic Jewish person, I'm Christian)

Giving #rootrootread another try. My phone's acting weird, so I can't edit the bingo sheet at the moment. My last two books, both finished yesterday are below.

It will cover the read for thirty minutes and the author of a different religion squares.

Super happy for George and pumped to have a team to root for in the World Series! Let's go #BlueJays!

Folks, the Flyers are rolling. They get a PP off a scrum and immediately score. Looked like Noah Cates deflected a shot from the point from York. Cates led the handshake line. Flyers now up 4-1, and it looks like Seattle is calling a timeout.

Are the #Flyers good now? (Not getting my hopes up)

I always aspire to keep up with Bingo but I always forget after a couple of weeks. I generally keep long book lists, and I read mostly non-fiction for me and middle-grade chapter books for work, so I struggle to get a Bingo after a while

A power play miracle!!! That was a Rocky Thompson-ass looking PP until Foerester scored #Flowers

$10 buys a week’s worth of food. Shares are great. But if you have the means, one of our own still needs help beyond just vibes.
