Track and Field Day

Managed to pop over to see a bit of Sasha’s year-end track and field meet during my lunch hour today. My folks were in so they were also able to swing by then even got to give Sasha a ride home after. Great day!

If You’re Tired All The Time, It’s Not Your Fault

Fascinating article about changes in the way people sleep and why. (As usual, capitalism and the rich are to blame.) Good sleep is a human right, dammit!

Music Monday – “What would you say/If I took those words away?/Then you couldn’t make things new/Just by saying ‘I love you'”

Friday Fun Link – Sing A Note

Can’t find it now but whoever posted this (likely on Reddit?) said this reminds them of the random silly amazingness of the early days of the Internet before a handful of tech giants controlled pretty much all content and discourse (and yes, I know there’s irony saying that since this is a YouTube video!)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Pace Turning Sixteen

Hard to believe Pace is 16 on May 19th! When he was born, I was trying to take a photo of him with an “Oscar The Grouch” doll I bought Shea regularly. (We called Pace “Oscar the Grouch” in utero as he was often “grumpy”.) I didn’t it every year like I had hoped but […]
