Spent the morning parking cars with my oldest’s scout troop and then met up with my dad for what turned out to be a very fun game. Go Blue!

We will stop laughing in 5-7 business days. Go blue.

A relatively boring color scheme, but given the current heat wave it gives me hopes of the fall to come and I’ll take that.

Happy fourth, friends.

A black cat sits in the grass in front of a house. An American flag and Pride flag fly from the front porch. The cat stares into the middle distance, wondering if the human at the other end of the leash will perhaps choose today to let him chase down and destroy those winged creatures of doom that annoy him so. Or is this Independence Day in name only? There is much to consider.

I haven’t figured out how to convince him to travel any actual distance on our walks, but he sure does love being outside.

I’ve got a coffee and a cat and we’re at the screen door listening to a gentle thunderstorm that is dropping the humidity and temperature to reasonable levels. A very good start to the day.

Just $3,115 left to hit the goal. I’m donating because my son’s friend is going to Bama in the fall (Roll Tide) and her rights shouldn’t change just because she’s crossing state lines. Find your reason and help @glitterburrito.bsky.social run the damn ball. fund.nnaf.org/glitterburri...

Went for a walk at the Arb tonight, it’s early but a few of the peonies have started to pop.

Happy one year anniversary to this goober who burrowed from under a friend of a friend’s porch to deep into my heart.

I feel like people who walk dogs get more of a cardiovascular benefit.

It’s a very good image, is the thing. Go blue, go sharks, there’s still time to donate to a charity in honor of the moms in your life.

Needed a monthly donation number for #CharitibundiBowl, and much like they do on my playlist when I need a boost the Killer Antz came through. Rock and roll is good, actually.

It’s Stew’s 1st birthday (or so, given found under porch status) so truly a perfect day to share.

Well that game was a blast, though we called it after this point (1 out in the top of the ninth, tigers up 11-6) and went to get tacos instead of waiting through the rain delay. A very fun day at the park. Eat ‘em up, Tigers!

It may sound ridiculous, but the 4+ hour runtime for PART 3 of the discussion of the novelization of Revenge of the Sith was exactly what was needed. Thanks @morecivilized.bsky.social, you remain the best

Taking pictures of Stew as he helps me exercise has really made me recognize Strava’s usefulness as an app.

The football game didn’t go how we would have wanted, but I got to see my oldest perform on Ford Field yesterday for the state championship and that was very cool. Also, chaperones got field passes.

Thanksgiving is on Saturday for us this year, so I’ve finished prepping the turkey (dry brining) and roast (sous vide going in this evening), cleaned up, and am ready for the Lions. Happy thanksgiving, friends!
