Had a long conversation tonight with my 12 year old daughter about logic, rhetoric, religion and how and when to win debates. Jesus Christ this kid is going to be a fucking force of nature.

I like when people in the stands of football games hold up signs that say D-Fence just in case the players forget what they’re supposed to be doing at that moment.

Most of the time I don’t feel like a 42 year old dad of 3 and then something will happen like a couple fire trucks will go by with their sirens blaring and I’ll say out loud to no one, “huh, something’s going on.”

I have 8 days off starting tomorrow. I haven’t taken any time off since I had Covid 4 months ago and that definitely doesn’t count.

Had a very nerdy chat with my daughter (12) about how the 3 branches of government are supposed to work, how they currently are acting and how Roe v. Wade was then wasn’t. She (correctly) accused me of being chatty and engaged at a surprisingly high level. Look out world, you have a fierce one.

I’m really looking forward to taking a week off at the end of the month before the sprint that is the holiday season. Goal for next year: use way more of my PTO and call out on a semi-regular basis.

Good morning. Did Jesus simultaneously fix our housing crisis and encroaching Christian nationalism problems with his sweeping rapture reform overnight?

I hugged @missvedra.bsky.social so good one of my earbuds fell into vodka. She rescued it in a bag of rice. Not all heros wear capes, some wear kimonos.

I don’t feel sick anymore after a couple days of Covid but just gotta work through that lingering energy drain.
Even at 1/4 speed it’s funny how many little tasks I’ve been able to get around to with a couple days off work. I need a new job.

Well after a shit night’s sleep it turns out I snagged COVID for the 4th time. So much for going to the Dimension 20 show tonight.
I’m not sure if I’m getting sick or just feel run down but I’m going to do something I almost never do: call in sick to work tomorrow.
