Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

That's kind of a lot! Clearly it depends on what your disability is.

It is a lot, but it's nowhere near as much as my dad was making it out to be. According to him, he could barely lift it, and it would take two healthy adults to lift it safely. That did not sound like 34 pounds to me. (And it wasn't -- it was two 34-pound pieces attached together to make one really bulky piece.)

For my mom to be able to lift it, she just needs to be able to get it in and out of the car. She wouldn't be able to carry something like that a long distance, but I think she'd be OK with just getting it in and out of the car.

From what I've seen, 34 pounds per piece seems to be about the lightest that these scooters get. The lightest I've found in a quick Google search is 29 pounds for the heaviest piece.

So, mr. flea was asking me if I knew anything about the Hamilton musical everyone was suddenly talking about, and I played him some of the soundtrack from Youtube, and he said, "... is that the guy from The Electric Company?" Yes, we know Lin-Manuel from his raps about Hard and Soft G.

Tonight we went to observe a fencing class, Casper's new interest, and she said, "They look sort of dorky." I was like, "Honey..." and she said, "I know, I'm actually kind of dorky myself."

Aw, the idea of Casper fencing pleases me greatly!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Now I dislike my freezer because it has no pulled pork in it.

CJ grilled some tri-tip tonight. Getting as much out of the grill before it gets shut down for the season.

He is turning into quite the chef. He calls dibs whenever we have blue apron meals or anything to grill. I love it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now I dislike my freezer because it has no pulled pork in it.

You can fix that so easily!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm obviously super biased here, but I'm'a say ONE OF US for so many reasons.

So, hooking up the new router means I have to get all my devices talking to the internet again, which means typing out my needlessly complicated network password with my DVR remote control. I knew there was a reason I wasn't upgrading my modem and this is probably it.

Good morning.

Good morning. I am debating getting coffee on my way to work. Don't really have time, but...coffee.
