  1. Sigh. Almost a third of the 10yo's baseball team isn't showing up #today. They're playing the best team in the league.

    Remember: the best ability is availability.

  2. What are we even doing here? This isn't a sandwich. If you're hipster, it's a long way from a "handheld." It's an abomination. A mess.

    A good sandwich shouldn't be a chore to eat. We shouldn't need to be hosed down when we're done, or need so many napkins the Ents go on the march. Nobody wants to feel like Dagwood Bumstead.

    Don't insult the customer's intelligence. Lay the bun flat, serve it open faced, and list it on the menu accordingly.

  7. It's amazing to me the stuff my kids will watch on YouTube. Most of it is absolute trash. But the other day the 10yo was watching a video some guy made about - wait for it - errors found in #Lego instructions. For instance: the instructions say to place 2 of a certain piece, and the picture shows 3. He had several examples! That's some seriously niche shit. And yet .. here I was watching over the 10yo's shoulder, FASCINATED.

    Don't be afraid to share your passion.

  12. This is what happens when AI takes control: in my Roku app, Knight Rider - the show with the talking car from the 1980s - is listed under "Medieval Adventures."

  17. The 10yo has no concept of the passage of time.

    Me: "Ok, we're leaving in 5 minutes. Be ready to go please."
    10yo: "What?!? You said we had to go in 20 minutes!"
    Me: "Right. I said that 15 minutes ago."

  22. For a couple hours during and after a good snowfall, the stupid sounds of suburbia go relatively silent as people briefly hibernate until the weather moves on. That time is so pleasant and peaceful. I always make time to step outside and enjoy the quiet and - if only for a few moments - hear myself breathe. It's a rare treat.

  27. The 10yo (previously known as the 9yo) received a new Switch game for his birthday.

    We need to create an account for him to play it.

    I remember back in the day when you just had to select "1 PLAYER" or "2 PLAYER" to play a video game. That was it. Nobody was asking for personal information. πŸ˜”

  32. The 12yo has his bar mitzvah scheduled for June, which means we are officially in the weeds with all the drama that comes with that and being in the seventh grade.

    A girl in his Hebrew school class asked him to help with her mitzvah project... but she's not inviting him to her bat mitzvah.

    Maybe I'm being a petty asshole, but I don't think that's very nice.

  37. I started a new role at work this past Monday. Exciting stuff! I am so appreciative of my friends and coworkers who took the time to congratulate me on the change.

    This may seem petty, but I am also deeply aware - more than ever - of those who could not be bothered.

    People notice.
