This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Why am I so sleepy?!?! My Apple Watch says I only got 20 min of deep sleep over almost 8 hours of sleep.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Why am I so sleepy?!?!

Just spitballin' but I think it's the lack of deep sleep.

I think I've mentioned it here, but the side sleeper pillow I got has been so effective that I don't roll over enough during the night, and consequently wake up with one sore knee from lying on one side for way too long.

You're sleeping with the windows open, when you should have the AC on.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Congratulations to Matilda!

I think I probably don’t have enough roof facing the right direction to make it worth it—I’m mostly facing north with a pretty steep pitch.

Yeah, we're lucky in having a nice expanse of roof on the southwest corner of our house.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Graduation Day! Wow!

Dana, I'm relieved you made it home.

There are so many scam solar companies in NY that I get skittish every time I think about having them installed, but there are others in our neighborhood so I think the sun exposure is probably ok if I ever do the research to actually reach out to someone for a quote.

Also...It's Dana's Birthday!

She deserves less bullshit and more treats on her birthday!

Oh! Happy Birthday, Dana! Yeah... I hope it ends up with cupcakes and glitter.

Happy Birthday, Dana! I hope some of your meetings got cancelled.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Awwww, I drove to Matilda's school to pick up her ceramics projects, and had a troika of brief, sweet encounters.

I got to talk her ceramics teacher, Ms. Stuart as she helped bring Matilda's work out. Got a hug from her and thanked her.

Then Coach Johnson (Matilda's baseball coach) came out, called my name and waved to me. He had come to the Memorial.

And then just as I was about to get into the car, I heard a voice yelling "Matilda's Dad! Matilda's Dad!" and it was Malia - one of the girls we took in when they were homeless - at the top of the steps waving to me. And she said, "I just wanted to thank you! You saved us!"
