Happy Fathers Day, everyone!
Paco (4yo) didn’t think he was dirty enough to justify a bath. So he put it hands in his spaghetti bowl, wiped it on his face, arms, and belly and then said “oh no, I guess I need a bath after spaghetti night.”
My wife has a flair for the dramatic. 🔥
I’m uninstalling Emacs and moving my config files into archive. As powerful as it is, maintaining it isn’t worth my time and energy, especially when a good chunk of my workflow is on the iPad. It’s been a good run (~11 years), but it’s time to move on (at least for now).
Every year for my birthday, my kids “surprise” me with a home made cake or cupcakes. It takes more work for me to conveniently be gone, and not hear them talking to mom about “you know what.” But it’s swell all the same. 📷
I didn’t watch the WWDC keynote. But I did take the kids to their first swim lessons. 📷
My birthday is tomorrow, but my wife is impatient. So she made me a drink before dinner and put in my gift, a cocktail glass engraved with a map of hometown. 📷
Just got back from a pool party at a colleague’s. I took the oldest. Best decision ever. He got to swim, I got to hang out. He’s getting there, folks: even thanked my colleague and his wife for having us over to swim before we left. 🤙🏽
“Dad, how do you know stuff about the past?”
“I’m a dad. I know almost everything.“
“Oh yeah, who was the tallest president to ever live?”
“Abraham Lincoln.”
::grins in surprise:: “Well done, well done.”
Something something, run, don’t walk to see Top Gun Maverick. I cannot recall the last time the cinematography got my adrenaline racing. Woah. Just woah. 📽
Beautiful blood moon tonight. We were able to see it at a reasonable hour in Arizona. Kids loved it. Simply stunning.

We let momma hit up brunch and a brewery, alone, this morning after Mass. Then we joined her for the last little bit. 📷
Cheers, again, to all the moms!
Happy Mother’s Day, everyone.
Queued up for the evening.
First time for the kiddos. She’s not even in Wonderland and their already enthralled.
Here’s a first for me:
Received a marketing email from a company I’ve never done business with. Quickly clicked on the unsubscribe link.
Webpage that opens says my email “is currently not receiving emails from this sender.”
A modest proposal: If university libraries are going to lean into eBooks over physical books, they should also make it easier for logging into whatever eBook reader app is necessary to read said books.
