I love that the state of New York wants to execute a guy who the state of California wants to pass healthcare legislation named for. That’s a big tent baby.

2 of the best ice creams I have made so far. The first is a strawberry and gin sorbet, and the second is an absinthe ice cream

I am really struggling. I feel like I have given up all of my passions just for the hope that my children could one day follow their passions.

I got into watercolor paintings of beer glasses for a bit there.

They changed up the pizza here at work. It literally tastes like they used the crust to clean the counter before adding toppings and cooking.

Who else is tired this morning because they stayed up late to watch a shadow?

I really cannot get through today. I feel that I am on a struggle bus produced by Elon Musk.

Here is one of our more quirky cats. This is our girl Poppet. Out of the 4 people in this house, she only lets me pet her. She will come near my kids and run away, but my wife has managed to pet her 4 times in the last 3 years.

I heard someone say RFK Jr sounds like he is in the last stages of auto erotic asphyxiation, and I cannot stop laughing.

I am that person when someone holds a door for me and it is that weird distance where you are expected to shuffle a little faster to get to the door, I will stop where I am and stare at them awkwardly. Also, if they say anything about my actions, I will reply back, “Hey, you made this weird first.”

Our new boy kitty my daughter named Glitter.

The Bobby Burns cocktail. It really took a beautiful picture.

My tree limb painting has been at a local gallery for over a year. They recently tried to take it down and then had to hang it back up because of audience interest.

Elon Musk proves that you can be the richest guy in the world and still be a deadbeat dad.

Now that I am currently drinking some peaty scotch, I wanted to post this drawing of an individual that introduced me to it. This is a drawing of a friend that I call “The connoisseur.”

My ADHD at work. As soon as I find out about the 100 Year Old Cigar cocktail, I became obsessed with finding the ingredients. Worth it!

Bonus! I went to my daughter’s school today because she received “Student Of The Month” for her Kindergarten class. We are very proud.

Just as soon as I get some money saved up my water heater goes out, my car won’t start, $800 spent at vet for 2 cats, broken bed frame, and two of my uncles died. It has only been a week.

Right when the price of eggs start to rise, my daughter has discovered her love for egg sandwiches.

I have participated in a lot more Cookie Detours than I ever have Bar Crawls.

Regularly, if I have a commitment at a new place tomorrow, I will go on a trial run today just to make sure I don’t look like a fucking moron. I have often done the same thing for online work meetings, not realizing that I have generated a message to 20+ people that “someone stated the meeting”.

Someone just called me a ADHD Gamer because I focus on all of the side quest first.

As a neurodivergent father of a 6 year old, it is hard to explain just how excited I am that my daughter has a friend that we might actually be able to invite over to our home because I did not weird out her mother by just introducing myself.

Found an #Artcompetition that is asking for artworks under 7 inches. Which of these should I enter?

I was just in a meeting in which so much smoke was being blown up my ass, I could smell Texas BBQ.

I would love to know @talksimpsonspod.bsky.social thoughts on Dog Man. I enjoyed the film just as much as my 6 year old. I would gladly watch it again without protest.

I have wanted a black cat for a really long time. Sadly my fist and only black cat Arkham suddenly died today. He was 3 and the emergency vet believes it was unexpected heart failure. He was a wonderful kitty and I will miss him so much.

Lunch date with my daughter. I tried to take her to the really nice woodfire pizza place, but she wanted to go to Applebees.

Section 31 was a waste of resources. The only part that kept my attention was the pointless cameo in the last 30 seconds. I would have easily preferred another season of Star Trek Discovery over what we just got.

At the store with my done. Me: Hey Legend, do you want to go see the fish? L: No… Toys. Me: Toys? L: Yea. Let’s go play. We were there for an hour.

not watching the inauguration because someone already spoiled it for me

Overheard an older woman (maybe 50s) today complaining about how kids do not go outside and play anymore, and just moments later complain about her neighbor’s kids walking through her yard. #whichisit

I love eating Mexican and TexMex food, but if I see anyone claiming how great a quesadilla is at a place, I automatically think they are boring or a child.

I did this #linoblockprint of one of my favorite breweries I visited in Denver.

Parenting is having sausage gravy soup for breakfast because even though your daughter already has pancakes and bacon, she thinks your biscuit looks really tasty too.

My daughter is beautiful. After I complete my current project, my next will have to be a painting of this beauty.

Today my daughter turned 6!

My son and I waiting to pick up our new cat from the shelter.
