I’m growing a proper beard for the first time (why not?) and it’s at an akward length right now - It’s thick without any patches, but I wish there was some miracle growth formula to see what it would look like in 3 months’ time. My wife is not my biggest supporter right now.
After three teen suicides in a neighbouring school, I had a chat about the topic with my teen tonight. It turns out that parental suicides are just as common, and it’s one of her greatest fears. We made an “I won’t do it if you don’t” pact.
It’s a simple pattern: SF Giants will win 1, 3 & 5.
Teenage daughter: “The people on microblog may be nice, but they are so boring. It’s like twitter for old people. No, wait: twitter for boring old people.” She may have ruined this for me.
My biggest pain with watching the Giants vs Dodgers is the Monday Night Football ads on ESPN.

Dear App Developers, Just because I live in a specific country (i.e. Australia), does not mean that I’m in any way interested in content from that country. Please stop geo-punishing me with sub-par content.

Thanks for wearing the mask. Only thing I could think is that you may have worn it a little too long.
With a price tag of $57 for a kilogram, the Honey Coated Nuts I bought earlier tonight may not become a household staple.
Last night at 02:45, when I double checked that the door to the patio was locked, my Border Collie excitedly ran up me to with her favourite ball. It was such a beautifully innocent gesture that I almost cried. I wish I could approach life this way.
“It’s okay to like what you like. It’s okay to like things for literally no other reason than because you like them and not because they are cool or clever or popular.
