Dad, nurse, poor ukulele player, want to paddle all of the lakes, bake and eat all the sweets, ride my bike fast, run not as fast, losing at table tennis to my kids
Pinned
In our house, we play pinochle, but got tired with teams being Mom and Thomas vs Dad and James. Now we each come up with compatible parts of speech. In tonight's game, the Micro Hampsters are beating the Apocolyptic Horse Flies.
Who is this big white guy, and what did he do with the old Shishi? 5-2, one off the lead? His feet are still kind of all over the place, but isn't the shambling mountain that we've seen the last few tournaments.

Getting ready to learn about community patrol. With the remote possibility of being out in the cold for a long time, I wanted to put running tights on under my jeans. Before doing so, I changed from boxers into briefs.
My wife laughed, and now forevermore, briefs shall be known as Action Underwear

I hate it. I hate that my oldest feels things are so bad that he needs to walk out of school and march to the capital. I hate that my youngest is crying in his room, worried that #ICE could kill his brother.

It seems like everything in Minnesota is terrible right now. I am in a horrible mood being both tired and mad.
But at least there is #sumo. Fantastic match between Wakatakakage and Takayasu. C'mon WTK, keep earning me some fantasy sumo points.

James failed his first driving test on Sunday. I told him he could take part in the time-honored tradition of badmouthing the test administrator to his friends.
Then, I suddenly had a flashback from the 90s about teenagers complaining about the Eau Claire administrator known to all as Hook Nose.

Why is it that all the truck stops I've been at in the last week have cases full of glass figurines for sale. Do truckers love glass angels and glass dragons?

Driving through the western Dakotas, looking at these big prairie hills, and all I can think is that they would be great sledding hils.
Speaking of which: Sled Fest!

Big family trip to ski in Montana. Considering that I am feeling winded going up the stairs where we're staying at an elevation of 6300', I am going to struggle tomorrow when I am on skis and even higher.
Woe unto the Minnesota boy in the mountains.

The guy who destroyed the Wuollet bakeries, A Baker's Wife, and other legacy bakeries in the #TwinCities died. It's probably impossible to undo the damage he did. I mourn the loss of what A Baker's Wife once was.
