Girl dad in the DC-area. Hate having to watch my west coast sports teams on Eastern time. Forever disappointed Miami Hurricanes fan.

Also, I’m The Silver Spring Notary and co-host of @workingonthedadpod.com.

I’ve never had a negative thought about @jasonkander.bsky.social before, but spoiling the ending of Bluey episodes on “The Game Within” podcast is uncool…

Love the show, keep it up!

It was so fun having @davidubben.bsky.social from @theathletic.bsky.social and Bunch Formation Pod on @workingonthedadpod.com tonight!

He talks with @alex.workingonthedadpod.com and I about parenting as a traveling sportswriter, youth sports parents, and more!

I guess they let anyone in here: David Ubben talks travel snacks, becoming a sportswriter, and more.

It makes no sense that the Dodgers pitching is such trash.

Dear @danrubenstein.solidverbal.com and @tyhildenbrandt.solidverbal.com

For 32 years of life, I wrongly believed I hate cottage cheese. Then four years ago, @jasonkander.bsky.social changed my life, and it’s one of my favorite foods.

My Toppings Rank:
1) hot honey
2) everything bagel seasoning

For those of you who don’t know this one, it’s the Broadway musical, “Six.” And it’s very good!

If you told me when I moved to DC in August 2013 from LA that I would be spending the first Friday of March Madness 2025 trying to justify the existence of one of the only five National libraries, I would have said, “nah, I’m good. Don’t want this job.”

I accidentally poked my 2.5 year old daughter in the eye, with my fat thumb, while trying to do her pigtails. After trying to continue in fear, they are completely uneven. And as a result of the tears, her breakfast is a tortilla a la Nutella.

Every day is @workingonthedadpod.com.

Not to brag, but that’s now two gym days in row during work lunch break.

Can I do all nine (workdays) leading up to episode 3 of @workingonthedadpod.com?

Been a while since I’ve posted anything anywhere, but my wife is at brunch, and I’m just drinking coffee while my two daughters play together five feet from me as Taylor Swift is playing…

I wish life was always this simple.

So when I prayed to the sports gods for a football championship, I wonder if they heard “futbol” instead?

I hate Miami. They beat themselves on the field, and beat my heart into submission.

Elon wants me to celebrate, but he’s not invited. Please celebrate my 14th Twitterversary here with me on Blue Sky.
