Encanto. Never seen it but my wife's been lobbying the kids for weeks on it, finally broke them.

We did it! We convinced the kids to watch a movie not named Frozen for Friday night pizza and movie. Please clap.

Wake me up when you need my 5 factor authentication. Yeah, I got all the codes.

The thing about driving from your home, dropping the kids off at school, then going to the office, is that you get to experience extreme aggression, anger, and selfishnes in that short period of your day.

They named their AI agent anus, with an M?

Are they trying to get heckled and laughed at endlessly?

Kids these days will never experience the thrill of watching NFL football players being tackled on the infield dirt of a baseball stadium.

I haven't thought about filling a gas tank since last summer. Same for oil changes, tuneups, car insurance, and parking. And I haven't paid a dime for those or any of the dozens of little extras that car ownership costs mosts Americans every month.

If your street setback is 10' in your zoning district per the codes, but all your neighbors' houses are 25' back from the from the street property line, then you just paid for a large chunk of expensive urban land that you can't build on.

(unless you do an addition I guess?)

I have long despised Durham's block face requirements in the UDO which essentially lock entire neighborhoods into the same setback standards as when they were developed 80+ years ago. It's nice to see some carve-outs in the new LDC, but why even go through all this? Just make it a set number.

While we're at it we should ban the hockey horn on every third or fourth down.

It's time to be done with the Roman numerals for the super bowl. If they're going to make the logo boring as hell, just give us the number. We used to have logos like these...

Ah so you're a diy plumber then, weirdo.

Especially when you live in a house built in 1940 and the idea of a grounding wire was sorcery.

It's hard to beat the thrill of doing a bunch of diy electrical work then turning the breaker back on and seeing if everything works or if everything catches on fire.

My kids can't fathom even thinking about trying to watch something elsa.

Friday nights are for staying in, ordering pizza, and watching Frozen for the 700th time.

If anyone needs me I'll be driving to Highland Springs to check out the Henrico.

Bread, no snow.

Featuring a new bread making island in the kitchen. There's just something perfect about making bread on a wood bench top.
