When we told my parents we were moving to Long Island, my father assumed it was just an extension of NYC and was very worried about crime rates. When they came to visit us finally, he expressed shock that we had trees.

This year's covid vax feels more hardcore than usual. Both kids woke up with pounding headaches, my legs and back hurt like hell and husband can't lift his arm at all. The last 2 years since switching to Pfizer we barely had any issues except the sore arm. Good thing it's a rainy Sunday.

This is the first person I have ever seen who has a similar childhood fear to me - I had to get to the end of the hall before the toilet finished flushing, or the spiders would come out of the pipes and eat me.

I'm thrilled that Mapquest ramped up to add Android Auto so rapidly, but sadly I used it for one day and had to uninstall because no matter what I did, it drained my battery so badly it was untenable. I'll try again in a few weeks.

I didn't expect my 17yo to know who Tim Curry was but she said "Mom, Nigel St. Nigel on Psych [her favorite show of all time]!" So, time to watch that one again too.

if infrastructure is what connects people, holds them together, serves, supports, and endures, then Dolly Parton was infrastructure.

My grandpa trained Rosies at Ryan Aeronautical in San Diego. One woman he worked with (but didn't train) towards the end of the war went on to work at Boeing and was forced to retire at AGE 95 when the plant finally closed down in 2014. Rosies are long lived and tough cookies.

17yo and I just had a lengthy discussion about what's the best Bon Jovi song (objectively, Dead or Alive, but my favorite is Livin' on a Prayer and she is still walking around singing It's My Life but can't decide on a favorite...)

My daughter said the teacher let them play radio in the car for driver's training today and when it was her turn she picked "classic rock" and everyone complained, so she said "shut up, I like Bon Jovi." At which point, I crumbled into dust.

I can't tell you how many times I have been in a Lyft or Uber where the driver just keeps getting distracted by their phone. One guy was scrolling past sexy selfies some girl kept sending him. It freaks me out.

Some help required. Daughter lost her very special to her Coraline Cat (pictured) at the Kneecap Crystal Palace gig on Saturday night last. Incredibly long shot but means a lot to her. Any and all help very welcome. Pictured at the gig and previously visiting Big Ben.

Take a moment to read Hunter Biden’s Father’s Day message to his Dad.
Hunter Biden @HunterBiden
The Lessons I Learned from My Dad
1 am not the man my father is.
I am trying. Some days closer. Some days farther.
He never sat me down and explained these lessons. He lived them. I'm still learning them.
Show up.
The kitchen table. The hospital room. The funeral. The picket line. The call from the son who won't answer.
Show up.
Most days that's the whole job.
My whole life I watched him do it. Not for cameras. Not for headlines. Not because there was something in it for him. He showed up because someone needed him.| learned that grief doesn't make you special.
My father buried a wife and daughter. He buried a son. Yet he never treated grief as a claim on other people's sympathy. Instead, it made him notice theirs.
A mother who lost a child. A father sitting beside a hospital bed. A kid scared about what comes next. A son who lost his mother, his sister, his brother.
He always noticed.
I learned that power is not the point.
The people who chase power eventually confuse the office with themselves.
My father never did.
Whether he was a county councilman, a senator, vice president, or president, he was the same man.
The title changed.
He didn't.
I learned that family comes first.
The train from Wilmington wasn't symbolism.
It was every night.
He read to us. Showed up to games. Sat through hospital rooms. Waited up for children who were lost.And when the day came that the country and the family could not both have him at full strength, he chose family. He relinquished the last chapter of how he wanted to be remembered. And he never complained about it.
Most of all, I learned that love is not soft.
Love is discipline.
Love is showing up at one in the morning when nobody is watching.
Love is answering the phone.
Love is staying.
Love is getting back up after life knocks you down and doing it all again tomorrow.
That love saved my life.
I've failed at many of these lessons, sometimes in very public ways.
He loved me anyway.
That's the last lesson.
I am not trying to become my father.
I am trying to carry what he gave me.
And if I can do that, even imperfectly, that will be enough.
Happy Father's Day, Dad. I love you.

Meet Crumb, Button, and Clover. A friend in the Bay Area found them behind a gas station. Unfortunately, she isn't able to keep them, so if she can't find someone to adopt them, they will be going to a shelter. Can you help me find them a home? They are in good health and very tame.

Rant: I want to schedule an appointment with a specific provider. If I sign in through MyChart, and select the provider from my list, it sends me through a quiz and based on that answer pulls up 97 other providers but not MINE. I can only specify the provider I want if I am not logged in.

Had a dream that I had found 4 cats in California and was trying to figure out how to get them cared for while we were back home in NY and oh God we have 6 cats now and woke up relieved that I don't have 6 cats after all, but I kind of miss those cats?

I had to attend a "Simplify your life with AI for Women" thing for work and it has me wanting to pound my head against a rock because I do not need AI to help me create a gallery wall, or a packing list, or plan my vacation. I get that women are load bearing but even men are better than AI.

If, upon reading about Swalwell, your first instinct is to doubt the accuser or invoke Al Franken, you should ask yourself why that is. And if you’re a woman, you should read up on Franken, as well as internalized misogyny.

My husband and daughter decided it was very important to make a cake in celebration of File Transfer Protocol. #GoBears
A round blue cake with badly done orange piping that says FTP. It has nothing to do with the Bears vs Packers game today and my daughter did not send a picture to her uncle the Packers fan.
