The childhood equivalent of “what do you do for a living?” is “what time do you go to bed?”

Stumbled across a yea/shake place this morning when we were in St. Peters. My wife wanted to order a Chubby Hubby, as if I wasn’t standing right there. Still..we were quite impressed.

Mom and baby stopped by to say hello

It shouldn’t surprise me, but always does, the number of moms (it’s always moms) out of their car and waving for junior after driving past all the signs telling them to stay in their car. When you are that clearly special, the rules don’t lie to you

Good news: the package arrived Bad news: I can’t move it because guard Teddy has decided it’s his mission to keep this box safe

Lazy Sunday

Turns out, today was a perfect day to go to Six Flags. That place was almost dead, almost no appreciable lines anywhere.

I’ve heard “head to toe“ by Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam probably twice in the last 10 years or so. Both times have been in the last 24 hours.

When in doubt, and you don't know what to listen to, listen to Huey Lewis

Spent the several hours with a house full of 8-9yo girls for 9’s birthday party.

11: Do we have to have fajitas?!?

How much do I love my wife? I am at the Brentwood Promenade on a Sunday afternoon. That’s how much.

I love how when I buy some touchup paint for a bathtub, and the "items to consider" Am@zon gives me are a pair of $5-7k watches. I'm not saying they aren't amazing and I wouldn't love to have one, but I don't need that when I'm trying to make the tub pretty again.

You know it was a successful birthday party at the house when all the kids are mad they have to leave

Appreciate the hustle. Today was trash/recycling pick up and a couple of neighborhood boys are dragging a pressure washer behind their bikes, offering to clean people’s bins. They seemed surprised when I tipped generously. Appreciate the hustle.

I performed the Heimlich maneuver in a restaurant and while everything turned out ok, man, it was emotional. I’m so glad the years of Scouts and Army training still are still in the memory bank.

I’m not particularly happy about the fact I have to put a sweater on to go out, in May

Happy #caturday

Most of the guys saying "it's a brutal time for young men, it's confusing" - are not young men - don't have kids, or - aren't close with their kids - are selling something It's pure projection. If you need help just say you're confused and ask for help. Go to therapy.

Hi. How was work?

Went to Six Flags with the kids today, first time in probably 25 years. It was a blast, but man, some of those rides hit differently in your late 40's than they did in your late 20's.

You weren’t going to throw this away, were you?

Wife: why are you leaving work half an hour late? Me: because I was dumb enough to answer my phone when I was ready to walk out. Rookie mistake. I’m not a fan of late day idea fairies that inevitably cause me extra headaches. I’M supposed to be the idea fairy!

I just stepped off a curb that was a little taller than I expected and because I’m old, I assume I’m going to be sore for a while

It’s been a long week today

I’m sorry, smarmy door-to-door pest control salesman, coming back to my house after 8pm when I’m trying to get kids ready for bed, after I told you earlier I’m not interested, is not a winning strategy

Two consecutive weeks of mid week, mid afternoon visits to the university city Costco makes me think nobody actually works “normal” hours anymore. How else could it be this busy at 3 o’clock on Monday?

Stella says good morning, and happy #caturday

Well...got my first sunburn of the year out of the way

Hanging out on a nice #caturday morning

They played all the hits tonight

I was very pleasantly surprised to see a line, a line!, at my polling place today. For an election with one low-visibility countywide initiative, and the local school board only, I did not expect this.

I was tagged for a random drug test at work today. The test attendant apologized and said he hoped the process wasn’t too inconvenient. Are you kidding me? I timed this to missing two meetings! What else you got?

Move along, nothing to see here #caturday

Um, excuse me, that’s my bed, sirs

I was more excited than I have any right to be to see a goldfinch back at the feeder today

My brain combined Kendrick's Not Like Us with Drop It Like It's Hot, and I'm afraid I'll never hear that song another way.

Happy #caturday from Teddy and Murph

The cats are tired after getting some weight training in this afternoon

Well, I WAS going to get up
