Proud dad moment… my teen son just offered to pick up pads for his sister at the store without blinking an eye. I know a lot of grown ass husbands that wouldn’t do the same. Wife and I high-five’d after he left the room.

My freshman daughter headed to the homecoming dance tonight with friends. Thought I was being a good dad because I got her a corsage. She flatly rejected it - "only people with dates wear those, dad." 🙁 I'll be over here looking at baby pictures if you need me.

This is cool. I’m at DRO waiting for my flight and the FAA is doing low passes both directions over the airfield at like a few hundred feet. #avgeek

Hey @crankyflier.com your boys have the opportunity to put the nail in our coffin today. We're one loss away from our fourth consecutive 100-loss season; we'd join four other clubs with that distinction, the most recent having been the '62-'65 Mets.

Was on a 5-month-old United A321neo tonight for our flight to LAX. My first flight with Starlink. Great screens, cabin ambiance, the wifi was like sitting on my couch at home. United is killing it.

Broncos fans, how you feeling about Drew Lock coming in all game in the backup role and getting the job done for the Seahawks? Broncs could have used something like that back in January.

Kenny Katnik did not expect to hear her dad's voice while she was on the tarmac at Washington Dulles International Airport. The conversation between father and daughter, both of whom are pilots, was captured on air traffic control recordings and went viral.

So, with one game remaining, that's a .333 record for August. We are just intent on having the fourth-in-a-row 100-loss season.

I dunno, but I'd probably take a home win over this

This is crazy. This bear was found a block away from Sushi Den, a popular restaurant in a very urban neighborhood of Denver proper. It's 12 miles away as the crow flies from any place where a bear would live!
