The meal the day after Christmas is something traditionally light and easy, after all the rich food during the holidays.

Didn’t take a single picture today and barely even held my phone. Felt great. Almost like it’s something I should do more often.
Nah.

I really thought this week would go easily at work.
Then we had a once-in-career-life-or-death matter erupt over the weekend and it hasn’t slowed down since.

This has always been us. Why should some dude who works one day per year get all the credit when we busted our asses working to pay for it?
Granted, we never were a “ooo Santa is magic if you believe” family, but big gifts always came from us

Your yearly reminder to have the biggest most expensive presents come from you, not Santa.
1. You can help your kids help preserve the magic for other kids who didn't get as much.
2. Santa ain't the one who dealt with that jerk at work all year.

Lots of media complainer men are angry at Tulane and JMU for taking up postseason spots that could've gone to programs that have frequently proven themselves in big games. In unrelated news Oklahoma's 4-11 in BCS/NY6/CFP games since 2002

Youngest got a little Christmas present of a paper notepad with his name on the top and exclaimed “It’s an IRL Notes app!”

Speaking of dogs, my phone reminded me that on this day 10 years ago, it was Milton’s Gotcha Day from the rescue group.
He’s a little fatter, a lot slower, and a lot more opinionated, but he’s still the best dog ever.

Been having trouble crate training our foster puppy, so I (foolishly, hahahahah) thought a soft-sided crate would be easier.

My kids ride the bus because that’s what works for us, but it’s also $500 per kid to buy a bus pass every year for them to ride the bus. That’s probably prohibitively expensive for some.
Why the fuck is everybody dropping off their kid at school personally like a little chauffeur? Put them on the fucking bus, you're not a fuckin driver. You're not a fucking slave.

Listen - this is what normal skin looks like: pores, fine lines, wrinkles (maybe not filler injection sites). But there's a reason you don't often see it in professional pictures.
I'd wager this photographer knew how to artistically blur skin for portraits and choices were made

Once had a conversation with a photographer who explained that a portrait wasn't supposed to offer dermatological documentation. He would gently blur photos (keeping the eyes and mouth crisp) to present people in the best light.
Just thinking of that as I look at this photo of Leavitt in VF.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.
