post-workday cuddles watching Cars (for the thousandth time)
Every time I go through a drive thru now with the Shumling in the car, no matter what I’m picking up, I can expect to hear a little voice behind me as I pull away…
“…fwies?”
and if I have just acquired fries, I grab one from the bag and reach into the back seat until I feel a little hand snatch it

I’ve never watched all of the ‘60s sci-fi show The Prisoner, but I’m aware of its influence — enough so that I had a weird dream last night that left me thinking about the show.
I found this quote from Patrick McGoohan on Wikipedia, and boy, if that doesn’t ring eerily true in The Age of AI Slop:

finally took the Shumling to UVU’s beautiful new soccer stadium (brought to you in very very very small part by yours truly)
the Shumling made it to halftime thanks to copious amounts of popcorn, Sour Patch Kids, and patient parenting
next year: a whole 90 minutes, maybe?

watching RSL v COL and I am reminded that my beautiful son Rob Holding was on his way to a solid if unspectacular career at Arsenal until Marcus Rashford blew his knee out with a late sideline tackle when the ball was already out of play
it’s not your fault, Bobby
anyway we’ll always have this

I’m annoyed at how long it takes me to squeeze two hours into my week for a salon visit and how much it does for my self-esteem
am I really that easy to manipulate
