Today, I’m one of several chaperones for my kindergartner’s first field trip.
Off to see the The Hungry Caterpillar as a play. 📷
It took way too long to reconcile my budget for the end-of-month. The wife and kids will still have food on the table next week. I guess that’s a win.
Mark Tooley has it about right:
So maybe Putin’s overreach in Ukraine will ultimately destroy him. But if so, it may take years to see that destruction. The United States should be persistent, patient, and confident.
It seems that the war has started. A lot will remain in flux in the coming hours and days. Keep that in mind as you read the news. My general approach will be to read widely, repost cautiously.
When your the dad of boys: for helping me wash the car they get a treat. They get to accompany me to Home Depot.
I’m supposed to take my kiddo for his first MLB game in a couple of weeks. I won’t be happy if that’s canceled on account of MLB owners. ⚾️
I didn’t watch the Super Bowl, didn’t even see scores until the morning. I’m surprised how deeply content I am with that. 🏈
Wow, yeah. This is wild.
A tired book shopper.
First time inside Chik-fil-A since the before times. 🐓📷
Needless to say, the kiddo was very happy about it.
Coffee and Bayes. My friends who know me will laugh at what has befallen me. ☕️
The audacity of a school administrator trying to end run around parents who, respectively, have a PhD and an MSW and who know the rules at least as well as they do is something. I don’t know if I’m appalled at the behavior or impressed at the bravado.
Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Kushner
A quick family photo after the Mass. (Note the water all over one of the kiddo’s shirt. He totally wasn’t playing in the fountain.)
Some personally news—“Daddy” is officially 4/4 the first word for the babies. My wife conceded earlier this week. I’m clearly not the most loved (that title goes to her big brothers, who she adores), but I’ll take it. I remain undefeated.
🖖🏽 Unpopular opinion: Star Trek Discovery isn’t very good. It suffers from too many emotional-psychological gesturing rather than real character development. Too many subplots per episode. Acting is great, scripts are good. But it doesn’t hold together and lacks coherence.
Wrapping up day two of my annual sinus infection. Hoping it clears up so I attend my friend’s wedding tomorrow.
“… reading on a smartphone elicits fewer sighs, promotes brain overactivity in the prefrontal cortex, and results in reduced comprehension.”

Read, yes, on a smartphone.
When your son asks you to wear a tie “just because,” you put on that tie. Like a boss.
Some times you do get a beautiful, well composed, two hour nap on a Sunday. It isn’t all the time, to be sure. But yeah. 🤙🏽
She loves her biggest brother.
(Taken at Mass—a rare exception to my no phone policy at church.)
