Midmorning Mass

#Mildhorror

My morning was just made so much better…
Uncle Jesse has come home again.
I love Jesse Chavez. I really need to finally take the leap and get a jersey.

Since moving to Florida the kid and I have discovered the local library. She’s hit the YA section pretty hard, and I’ve tried out some authors that have been on my “I should read them one day” list.
I picked up Beartown by Blackman. I’m only half way through… but I’m really enjoying it. It’s great.

Trans rights are human rights.

... and with one click of a button my twitter/X account has been deactivated and gone the way of My Space, Xanga, and all other social media sites who have come before.
I regret nothing.
Also, I feel old.
I wonder if I can still log into my old AOL user name?

With the wife and child at my Mother-in-laws house to meet a contractor before she’s moved in.

It occurs to me that I could hide some old sandwich meat under the carpet in her future bedroom. See how long she lives here before she notices…

My MIL recently fell and broke herself. She has been sad for a week because today is Red Cup Day at Starbucks, and for the first time she could't get her cup.
I stopped and got her one.
I then spilled my entire drink in my car. No good deed goes unpunished.
... and that was just the start of my day.

I just want to throw some love towards the Image Comic’s Adventureman. Matt Fraction, @terrydodsonart.bsky.social, and Rachel Dodson have created one incredibly well written and illustrated books. It’s soooo good.

I usually listen to the audio of the book I'm reading while on my work commute. This week, though, while I'm reading Justin Cronin's The Twelve, I've been listening to King's Skeleton Crew. I've found that I like short stories better. I can generally listen to one full story each way. I like it.

My kid decided on her Halloween costume this year…
No princesses or ponies in this home.
