…So that’s a thing, huh? Yeah, my kid – the one I used to bring along in a stroller to Dizzy City things – is gonna be college-aged next year. Because time, man. Every day, we all get a day older, only it piles up without us noticing.
Ach, well, beats the alternative!

Guess we’ll find out tomorrow! Yay. …No, this has not been the best couple of weeks for me, all in all. I need to give myself an attitude adjustment. Nobody really wants to hear me whine, and it’s a bad habit to get into.
Good morning.

My brain is goop. It was a long, and ultimately disappointing day, and I need sleep. Tell me what I should be reading tomorrow!
It has been a bad year for in-person sales.
It’s got that peculiar clarity you get when you see an observation that is insanely obvious. In retrospect. I mean, I didn’t see it for myself, now did I?

As in, my wife and I went out on a lovely, clear night to look at the stars. We found a dark spot, along with a bunch of other people, and then the person with the best camera got the settings to work right so that we could all see it. Success! I can check that off now, more or less.
Alas, no good pictures on my end. My wife and I discussed the possibilities of an Iceland trip on the drive back. I like volcanoes, and think Vikings are pretty cool; she likes Vikings, and thinks volcanoes are pretty neat. So this might end up being a retirement trip at some point.
This awareness of mine has done the Mets no harm. I will continue to maintain this awareness, in precisely this way. I make no commentary or speculation of the future.
That is all.
…do not post pictures of yourself in the banana suit afterward. Or maybe do, because this was funny. I laughed. God help me, but I laughed.

Via @iowahawkblog, who is likewise finding humor in this situation, somehow.
(PS: For the record, throwing firecrackers at a cop car or whatever it was is definitely assault, but I dunno if I’d agree it was aggravated assault. I thought it would be, like, a bat or something. Not that it matters, because I’m not going to be on that jury anyway.)
