So proud of my kids. The first grader has decided he wants to be a civil engineer and learned the word anthology today. The middle schooler taught me that Aesop isn't from Greece, but Egypt. He was taken from Egypt and sold into slavery in Greece, where he wrote his way into freedom.

Less of a "can't" and more of a "won't" on all fronts. The vast majority of Republicans in Congress are too afraid to do anything that might upset Trump, but that very small number who are less afraid are a very thin line, so nothing will get passed until after November.

I hope the surge comes from people planning to troll him. And since its Slovenia, to troll Melania on her home turf.

The NCAA has 30 sports. Only 2 have any teams that turn a profit -- football and men's basketball. Those 2 only turn a profit at big schools. The profits those sports make, in my opinion, shouldn't go to insanely inflated contracts for coaches, but also not to the players.

Tonight before bed, my six year old requested that we watch a video that would teach him more about his favorite thing he learned about at school today -- OSHA violations.

Not an assembly, but had one guy give two strange lectures. He was the gym teacher, and the rumor was he got sent to our school after getting three students pregnant at a different school in the district. He did have a son who was over forty years younger than him, which may be how that started. (1/

#geography #logic Today, my six year old told me his theory that #Georgia is not part of the US, but a country in Africa. Thinking he was getting confused with the country in Asia, I asked him why he thought that, and he said "Georgia has a Savannah."

#booksky 💙📚 I think it was book 9 for the year? Anyway, I finished Children's and Household Tales by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm 3/5? I mean, how do you rate something like that? When its on, it's really on, and it can be on in wildly different ways. But some stories fell flat.

A cover of the Brothers' Grimms' Chilren's and Household Tales in German. Appears to be turn of the century.

#BobDylan #BootlegSeries I've been waiting for the track list to show up for the upcoming Dylan release, Bootleg Series 18: Through an Open Window (1956-1963). I googled it today, and here is what it gave me. 😆

A fake track listing AI invented for Bob Dylan's Self-Portrait album. I'd love to hear "Tweedle Dee and the Belle of Amherst" and "Living is the Game" -- too bad they don't exist.
