The GA Congressional Race

If the numbers I've seen are accurate, Trump won GA-6 by less than two % points; yesterday Ossoff lost it by 5-6% pts. Any claim it is a closet Dem victory is woefully misguided.

Kay Eckstein

RIP Kay Eckstein,  the Marquette benefactor that donated $51 million to the law school that bears her name.

My Thoughts

I think marriage is about the only decision you make for the rest of your life. Everything else is subject to change, unless you want the seventy year old you to be subject to the promises of an immature twenty year old.

A "Privilege" Quiz

A friend posted a quiz to determine your "privilege" in life, , and was I was honestly surprised by this result. I think the concept itself is largely apologetic hoohah, but I guess growing up poor, fat, and mildly crazy has its (dis)advatages. I'll try and link the quiz in the comments.

Showtime becomes a second-run theater

That was unexpected. Showtime has always been a high quality theater, but I guess Marcus owns it now so it is what it is. Good for my pocketbook if nothing else.

Get Out

An excellent movie, start to finish. One of my favorites this year.

The Holy Family Medal

Last week I bought Lisa a new bike and so now Team Slap can properly follow my evacuation plan when the zombie apocalypse arrives. Today our trip was more sedate, journeying with Smiley to a local Catholic store to pick out a Father's Day gift. I wanted a St Joseph medal, as I was born on his feast day and he's the patron saint of fathers. Alas, some were sold out and the rest too pricey, so instead I picked out a medallion of the Holy Family. Great gift guys!

Probably a bad sign when you're dreading going back to work starting the minute you leave for your days off. . .

Amiley biked down to the library my himself and had his bag tear and the books scatter across the road. He handled it like a boss, no help from us. Good man (in training).

Religious Humor

Lisa's denomination.

Mine.

Can you spot the difference? Lol

A Neat Find

A Lucky Day

Took a bike ride with Dan, not one rain drop. Went into Store, did a lil shopping. Came out and noticed it rained while in store but again, not a drop on ride home. Get inside, less the five minutes later the skies open up for a pour....I think I might buy a scratch off, luck is on my side today! 💚 - Lisa
