Stepdad keeps turning on Seal Team during WS game breaks and TURN THE GAME BACK ON argh. ⚾️

Whooo! Game 7! ⚾️

And during commercial breaks, we’re watching city council proceedings, and hooboy, what an evening contrast. Fascinating to watch how easily a few close-minded people can control the many.

😒 Nats. Compare to ALL THE OTHER RUNNERS TO FIRST, not just Turner’s run. Fuckin’ bullshit. ⚾️

Was so sure the Nats found the bats with the hits in them, and then the bottom of the fifth happened. 😒 ⚾️

Meetings for the week donnnnnnnnnne! 🎉

Somehow I managed to convince the ‘rents to learn Settlers of Catan and play with me and @snookca. I call this Friday night #winning.

These sheep crack me up. I come outside and they come running.

I applied for the AirBnB Antarctic Sabbatical, not too late for you to apply, too (closes in 3 hours). airbnb.com/d/sabbati…

Me: “He pooped 5 times yesterday, and kept me awake until 5 in the morning with his night time antics. So of course he is sleeping now. I want to be sleeping, too.”

Dad: “Sounds like he had a real shitty day yesterday. 🤩”

TIL sheep like onions.

Home! Yay!

Please send good thoughts to Chase tonight. He’s going into surgery tomorrow morning, and old dogs have low survival odds. 🐶

World, meet Boop. Boop, this is a strange place.

I need to figure out the Dad Technique™️ for adding butter to this popcorn for tonight’s game night.

New project, new technology. I look forward to the moment I have uploaded enough knowledge about this tech that I’m not stumbling on the big things, only the subtleties.

How could one gracefully and empathetically tell a frustrated coworker that her inability to login is actually her using an incorrect password?

FTR “Nope, not the system, you keep messing up” is not graceful.

“Server logs indicate credential mismatch. Check your password here.”

Watching John Wick in anticipation of 2 and 3, and still really like this movie.

I mean, choosing to attack a superior opponent on said opponent’s literal home turf is clearly an act of desperation, made worse by the superior opponent’s knowledge that you are coming.

So… who’s in Portland for #xoxofest this week?

Released the sheep into my west yard, they are now feasting on the fallen fruit.

Finished The Volunteer, after a recommendation via Dave Pell’s The Next Draft. Difficult read, worth reading, and strongly recommended. I will buy you a copy. 📚
