As I was leaving for work this morning, 9 decided it was time for a dance party. She called me every few minutes while I was driving to let me know what song she was listening to, so I could sing along with her. What a great start to the day!
The energy at Trader Joe’s right before they close is something else. Cashier asked me if I have kids, and if I know any dad jokes? My moment had arrived.
We went to the home and garden show at America’s Center today and there was also some sort of youth cheerleading event happening there. Tons of little kids running around in glitter and sequins and way too much makeup. It was really sad to see. I felt so sorry for these kids.
I didn’t even have to use the “explain this to me like I’m 5” prompt
I was a reluctant AI user at first, but I'm coming around quickly for using it as an assistant. With some basic prompting, Claude just helped me with what I would've paid an accountant good money to set up for me. Yay, technology (mostly)!
Kids vs "olds", volume 1,253: today, my kids learned their old dad will buy a pair of shoes that aren't...conventionally attractive, because they about the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever put on my feet.
"But they're ugly". Maybe, but I'll get used to them. They'll always be comfy.
The boys were highly offended when I made them go to bed (downstairs) #caturday
I had the windows cracked, and I was playing music at windows down volume as I pulled onto the parking lot at Dierbergs. I got out of my car and immediately got a two arm celebratory point from the kid shagging carts, saying “great music, man!“
I just walked about 6 miles, and that was just trying to find my wife inside IKEA
The waiting is the hardest part

Fun with light painting
Whatcha doing in there? #caturday
Show me your war face!
Hi five!
Frosty falls this morning a the park!
Spent some time at the MoBot orchid show and sale, certainly contributed to the local economy
This is an ambush #caturday
All I'm saying is if you're in a bad mood, it's nothing Deee-Lite's "Groove Is in the Heart" can't fix.
Any day I get to see my pal Cinnamon is a good day
A friendly cashier, probably in her early 20s, complimented me on how many bags I picked up to carry to the car. I said, thanks, and she said “my dad does that, too“. Now I can never go back to that store again.
Good morning! #caturday
Took the family to see the Globetrotters this afternoon. I haven’t seen them in probably 35 years, and they are just as fun as I remember.
My vote for best TV series ever
Took the kids to the hardware store, came home with tools. It's a good day.
As I age, I’m increasingly cranky about tipping culture. Just pay your damn employees.
The doctor just recommended 9 get a critical vaccine two years earlier than normally given, because they aren't confident it will still be available to administer in two years because the current administration is targeting that vaccine specifically. F'ing anti-science zealots will kill girls.
this is his "I wasn't asking" treat face #caturday
