And the bastard accomplished his (likely their) goal.

Found out at dinner that the granddaughters sometimes get bored here because I ratchet down screen time, stress reading and games, acknowledge boredom happens without offering entertainment. Their other grandmother is popular because she let's them binge TV and snack a bunch. Man, I suck.

Thinking about a February trip to Richmond, Virginia. My son and I went to a dinner theater and, at intermission, went to the bar for a drink. In a side room, a large group of older white men stood and began singing Dixie. My uncommon surname is scattered through Union army rosters. We left.

Think that I am just going to get a big pic of Kash Patel and put googly eyes on it for a protest march. Maybe put a side by side photo of Stephen Miller and a giant dildo.

Drudge posted this as whether inflation data was being manipulated. Not yet. But the data quality will certainly be degraded as staffing is gutted and expertise departs. www.wsj.com/economy/cpi-...

When my older son turned 16, we took a road trip to the R&R Hall of Fame in Cleveland, 8 hours away. I made sure that we used a map.

I have the privilege of being trusted to help care for the granddaughters. My daughter is building a bustling side gig as a RE photographer and RE agency marketing manager. But now, her husband left a bad work situation and has started his own construction firm. My summer just got much busier.

Got a flat of berries at the Corn Wagon. $5/quart.

The preschool granddaughter showed up wearing a Pink Floyd shirt, so I won't play Moana 2 music until she hears a Pink Floyd song.

Two quarts of fresh strawberries cut up for fresh use. One quart will go to baking and the remaining five will be frozen. The stems will be used to make strawberry infused vinegar (yeah, that's a thing). Miles Davis is playing in the background.

Today with preschool granddaughter: 1. Taught her the sad trombone sound and appropriate use ("womp womp womp waaahhh"). 2. We read a version of Beauty and the Beast in which her father was a trader. His name is Joe, and her family owns Trader Joe's. Pappy Achievements unlocked.
