Ohio bound.
First flight since February 2020!
Surreal, but also satisfying.
Saw a preying mantis at the kiddo’s during drop off today.
Morning hike with the kiddos at the “A” mountain in Tempe. Was super proud of the kiddos, especially the one with a broken arm who, less than a week ago, said he couldn’t do anything anymore.
It took an entire week but the kindergartner had a splendid day at school. He’d been apprehensive, worried, and scared. But today, it was an unqualified success. He was so proud of himself.
Pensive on his way to school.
He’s still a little scared and doesn’t go into the classroom right away, but today was a good day. He got a sticker, and the teacher had a pencil grip that helps him write with his cast.
We started kindergarten today!
I’d like to say it was a hit, but I can’t. First day jitters with the kiddo. We’ll do better on Monday.
A fasle start on post-pandemic date night.
So last Saturday we got a date night, courtesy of my wife’s sister who was in town. It was our first since the before times.
But less than hour into it, my sister in law called and gave us some bad news!
My oldest was doing a “trick” on the monkey bars for his uncle and fell.
To be honest, it was hard for me to see the kiddo in so much pain and to be uncomfortable these past few days, but we are rounding the bend. Update in 5 weeks, doc said.
Here’s a (possibly) mind-blowing fact: just about every time you load a web page on a browser, or click to a new experience inside an app, there’s code being run that sends your data to an ad exchange, which then broadcasts that data to hundreds of potential bidders (themselves connected to countless actual advertisers). For every click of yours, picture a dense bundle of data going into the cloud and instantly duplicating into hundreds of copies to thousands of servers, each one accessing millions of rows of data to figure out who you are. That’s the pulsing, arterial information flow of the modern mobile internet, and it beats billions of times a day.
Happy Independence Day, folks!
Reading with grandpa. . . . . . My Dad got his turn to come out and visit. Itâs been longer since weâve seen him than my mom, at nearly two years. He was very excited to have his grandkids read to him. Here, Paco picked a board book. #family #monochrome #iphone12promax
