Gonna take The Boy, drive to Point Reyes, and watch some elephant seals

If I can get him up

"Do you wanna find some elephant seals?"
[shakes head no]
"Should we all just go back to bed?"
[nods head yes as only a toddler can do]

Okay we're up and willing! But one of us is still a toddler.

Less than an hour later than we meant to leave! Alright!

The National Weather Service is decorating California for Christmas. It's wild weather night. #cawx #christmaswx

It's a Fall Asleep Listening To The Rain night

Okay so I turn around and there's my son, my wife, and my sister in law doing various Peanuts dances and I guess I can tolerate it

Me: let's watch A Muppet Christmas Carol

The Boy: I want to watch Peanuts

And this begins the lifelong enmity with my son

[speaks into tape recorder] Muppet Star Trek, and Wesley is the only human

You have something that my associate and I want very badly

@prettygood @mnordhoff one atom was coming off duty and the next atom was late to work

One of the cool things about having a kid is that you have this cool little buddy you can take places

Why do we never sing the verses of Jingle Bells that are about picking up chicks

I'm a jerk. Instead of just ignoring the telemarketer call, I kept the poor guy on the line and made him bomb

My wife is talking about making a mastodon account so I'm going to need you all to act real cool

Wait wait wait
Hold on

You're saying that it's been Friday THE WHOLE DAY today??

2YO: dad, I want some more beer
Me: oh yeah, sure dude, here you go

I hope your dinosaur is cooked just the way you want it today, and your problematic family members stay away.
