I was finally able to get a good picture of Lucy this morning.

Samantha was VERY silly last night.

Linus wishes you a happy evening.

2 years ago …

Samantha likes to practice ballet in her pajamas.

Samantha, on St. Patrick’s Day, through the years.

I don’t think Sam’s heart is in this smile. I think she’s just humoring me.

Samantha is dressed up for literacy night at the school where my wife teaches. Her book is My Journey to the Stars by astronaut Scott Kelly.

Samantha is going to own this Friday.

“Ask the Pilot” on the 737 MAX-8 groundings.

these can seem like scary times

but

air travel has never been safer than it is today.

Joy!

Back in the “old” days, I used to love Salon, especially the Ask the Pilot column. The author is still going strong on his own blog and is always worth a read, especially when flying is in the news as much as it is today.

Contrary to conventional wisdom, computers don’t fly airplanes. Pilots do.

I 100% approve of Gov. Newsome’s decision to put a moratorium on using the death penalty in California. I’d also like to see him commute the sentence of all on death row to life in prison. The moratorium can be ended.

There are a lot of reasons I enjoy the Flash TV show. (They name dropped Kamandi last night for God’s sake!) But man, Chris Klein is NOT a good actor and he made for a lousy big bad. That said, love the twist at the end.

Story time!

I’ve never seen a love stronger than that between my wife and my daughter.

Say hello to Bella, Mom’s dog. Mom’s going through a lot of health issues and will be staying with us for 4 to 6 weeks while she waits for bypass surgery on her leg. It’s not easy for her to accept our help. Aging is rough.

Samantha loves little beads. She likes to play with them everywhere. Especially with anything connected to her toy kitchen. She has spilled them in every room of the house. They have become the bane of my existence.

Batman has not been a must read DC comic since Rebirth started and you know who took over writing the book. The art though, damn. The work in issue 66 by Jorge Fornes is just astounding.

Almost ready …

If the first hour of the new DC Super Hero Girls show from Lauren Faust is any indication, we are looking at a classic. It’s funny and full of heart. Samantha and I are ready for the next episode!

At game time today, Samantha chose a game that was a little beneath her skill level. Too easy, still fun!

Say ahhhhhhhhhhhh ..

Samantha is imitating the look of the horse in Tangled. I’m not sure why.

A lollipop, a dog, a book, in a rocket ship … Sam is a happy girl!
