    Hopefully on 1/20/25, right after he watches President Kamala Harris get sworn in.

    Toward the end of grad school, when I was basically just waiting to graduate and wanted to get out of my parent's house, I worked a few months at a dine-in theater near Greenspoint. It was the first time at a job, school or residence that I was in the minority. It was great and I wish I had that experience sooner/more frequently. The people who find themselves around other folks who don't look like them and find it unsettling are... weird.

    No response emoji available encapsulates my feelings as I started reading this while bringing a spoonful of yogurt and granola to my mouth. Maybe the rage emoji flipping a middle finger while projectile vomiting?

    Would be nice if this could be a campaign topic at all. But in order to appease as many potential swing state voters as possible and save our democracy, climate is taking even more of a backseat than usual.

    STOP THE COUNT!!!

    Honestly, if Haitians really were eating outdoor cats, they would be doing the environment a great service.

    I know about the bear and the whale. Somehow missed whatever the RFK dog story is

    Goddamn, way to show up! Give me a couple years and then I can bring my oldest to these kind of games.

    Formation of that system crossing the Yucatan just jumped to 60%.

    Is Sabalenka eastern European Serena (skill set, obviously not with hardware)? She appears so much more powerful than everyone she faces and seems like she should have more trophies, honestly. Also, Team Taifoe!

    Taking the 2 year-old to Reimers Sunday for a cool, leisurely, celebratory hike.

    Had one of my rarest finds ever yesterday, a pomarine jaeger, flying over a smallish lake in Round Rock. They're basically mean, large gulls that are rare even along the coast in Texas, much less 250 miles inland. I really need to get a camera to at least document these surprises. The next couple months is my favorite times of year. The first cold snap (hopefully), fall migration with weird shit showing up, and the meat of football season. Fuck yes.

    My 2nd is due to arrive a week before OU. The first OU game after my first son was born was 49-0, so I'm expecting big things. Will I be coherent enough from lack of sleep to follow the game? That remains to be seen.

    Fritz up 2-1 after finally converting his 4th or 5th break of the game.

    Best chance in quite some time for an American man to win a slam? I haven't seen much, but it seems like Tiafoe always shows up ready to play at the US.

    We're about a month away from the due date for #2. The wife has already had some legit contractions here and there, so not sure we're making it to 40 weeks. The 2 year-old is getting much more fun, but the toddler obstinance is really shining through at times. Some of his favorite phrases currently are... "No, Dada. Get back!" "Let go!" "Go away, Dada!" ...and "Mine!"

    So we're playing Iowa next weekend?

    Except he was never "just trying to dunk on political rivals". He's always been pretty unsubtle with his misogyny and racism.

    Time to start working on the parents and determine if they're truly broken.

    Hahaha, I was about to ask who needs this quote broken down and explained to them any further.

    I was never a big cable news guy, but would tune to CNN when actual breaking news occurred or during elections. Have switched entirely over to PBS for occasional news and MSNBC tor events like the DNC or elections where some production value and talking head stuff is more warranted.

    Joy Reid on MSNBC, "I think we basically just watched an episode of Ted Lasso."

    My wife, who is fairly liberal but often needs to be dragged to the voting booth, has been tuned in to virtually every second of this convention. A switch turned around the time of the debate where she is now beating me to the punch in sharing political news. It's amazing.

    God damn, I feel like 20 year-old me after watching a preseason football hype video. I don't know how I'm going to fall asleep.
