Epic battle for the control of Sven. The kid gloves are off — and I mean both of us.

Theo and I are playing tug to see who gets to claim the Sven toy for the evening.

I’m very excited to learn how to play this song. Wish me luck.

Love this guy. Wish he could have stayed at UofM longer.

Picked up this T in Eastern Market last week when I took my daughter and my sister into the city. I love that the pride is still there, and I’m astounded at all the activity going on downtown.

Grey t-shirt with the words “Detroit Vibes” in yellow on it in a “Soul Train” kind of font.

I love it when Theo goes full “muppet mode.”

Thought some of you might be need of some nose today.

Despite hating all forms of clothing, Theo’s looking very sporty in his winter coat.

We now pause our regularly scheduled programming for a picture of my sweet, adorable pup curled up in his “circle of fluff.”

College me would have mocked me mercilessly for that #1 artist ranking. Just goes to show that you learn to love what your spouse loves.

I learned today (because I'm distracted by the election), that this panel is the original context of Batman slapping Robin. Apparently in an alternate universe, Batman thinks Superman killed his parents and wants to go over him. When Robin tells him he shouldn't, Batman slaps him silly.

Aaron Glenn is a badass defensive coordinator. The focus and intensity are amazing. I love how you only get pix like this at football games.

I can’t believe no one has done this one before. Way to represent at Lambeau. Go Lions!!!

My wife is doing her best to make me fun for Halloween. I did not get them memo that the temp was going to drop 30 degrees.

My wife is out of town and my daughter is out with friends. I could have very easily ordered pizza, but I made a nutritious dinner. I can’t have a repeat of last night’s acid reflux explosion.

Halibut with a lemon butter sauce, brown rice, and sautéed kale. Boo yah!

He’s usually this way when he wants to go out. Maybe he had enough of this “walk crap” and wanted to head in for his 26th nap of the day.

So I'm taking on the big time project of rereading all of the "Wheel of Time" books. I'm at "The Shadow Rising." I read "Eye of the World" for the first time in 1995.

My staff and I got into a discussion of what we consider good Fall music. This album immediately jumped to mind both for the music and for the album cover. If anyone is out there, I'd be curious what you think.

I always find it weird that the version of “Hungry like the Wolf” with the amazing extended instrumental introduction on the original LP isn’t the one on the CD or stream. It’s now relegated to being the “Night Version.” A travesty. 😭
