I feel a bit guilty about the Pop Tart streak the kids are on right now. But I already get up at 5:35am to get in exercise and get them ready for the bus that comes at fucking 7:25am in the morning. It's hard to work myself up to actually make something and field complaints.
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
You know what's good? Ready-to-heat microwavable bacon. After a few tries, I found one that actually tastes like cooked-from-scratch bacon. (Oscar Mayer.)
eta: Gud, that wasn't in reply to you! I'm not telling you what to feed your kids. I think you're a great dad, never mind the Pop-Tarts.

I'm thinking about making pancakes for lunch now.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Em won't eat Pop Tarts. Only waffles. Of course, she switches up every once in awhile so as soon as I have a freezer full of waffles, she'll only want cereal.
Plus, I want the waffles for me so I can spread some peanut butter on them and run out the door in the morning.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesus.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
wtf is wrong with people?

Damn. They're now saying it's two people seriously wounded - the gunman, and the security guard he shot. When he fired, the other security guards returned fire.
Crazy people. The world is a scary place to walk around in, lately.

People shouldn't be shot in museums. Libraries, maybe, and then only when the librarians are doing the shooting.
In half an hour I will be eating delicious barbecue.
But in the meantime, I'm sure you want an update on the baseball draft. Not the insider stuff, but just the coolest names that have rolled up. I offer you:
D’Vontrey Richardson
Tyson Van Winkle
Seth Schwindenhammer
...and the winner and new coolest name in baseball champ...
Damien Magnifico!
(seriously)
eta: a late addition and contender for the top spot...

Ann, that's a ferret.
According to comments from Jessica's link (warning: avoid if more-heat-than-light arguments on anti-Semitism or gun control raise your blood pressure), the suspected shooter is an 89-year-old man with links to right-wing racism generally and anti-Semitism more specifically.
I spent a late lunch hour at the other end of the National Mall (near the National Gallery of Art, for those who know the area) and didn't know anything had happened until I saw Jessica's post.
