Whenever I drop something and stoop to pick it up I half expect to hear the sharp whine of an assassin's bullet passing overhead. Having my life spared by random chance would then begin a heroic quest I'm woefully unqualified to handle and yet, somehow, in the end I triumph. #TrueStory

Yesterday, in addition to oversleeping my first class and being pulled over by the cops, I came home to find a bottle of siracha sauce left out. Annoyed, I grabbed the full bottle and my Neanderthal strength caused it to shoot directly into my eye. It was, I imagine, like being sprayed in the face with pepper spray.
LuLu's 1st Date
I just drove LuLu to her first date, a showing of the Power Rangers movie. I've met the boy and like him, and I'm proud to see my little girl take a step toward adulthood.
Just got back from Marquette, where I was all but called a thief by not one but three office workers who couldn't find records of a past transaction and wanted me to pay again. I stood my ground, called out the office manager for implying I was lying, and lo and behold the paperwork was found and i was proven right. It's tiring to live in a world where your options are to roll over or go full as$hole.

Congratulations to Team USA!
Congrats on a great and deserved championship for Team USA! I'm a fan of the WBC, and have enjoyed watching it. There are lots of haters out there bashing it as a pointless exhibition, but that just tells me they never watched the tourney, because it's some dang fine baseball!

Before you hit "share" and give undue praise to the New York billionaires who have asked their state to raise taxes on the wealthy, think it through: their income is inherited and/or from investment streams, and thus not within the scope of the increase they propose. It's an empty plea that impacts only other people's wallets. How very noble of them.
Monday night I was watching Mannix.
Jessica: Danny, when did you guys get rid of cable?
Me: Huh? We still have Direct TV.
Jessica: (confused) Then why . . .
Lisa (laughs) What you don't understand is that Dan *chooses* to watch this stuff. A hundred bucks a month for TV and he spent last night watching Bob Newhart and Columbo. He's insane.
London Terror
Sweet Lord, stop putting "terrorist incident" in quotes. Even if, in your merry Liberal dreams, the London attack was not religious or political in nature, it is quite clearly *a terrorist act*.
RIP Chuck Barris
RIP Chuck Barris, creator and host of the Gong Show, songwriter, and super secret agent for the CIA (he said). He was 87.

YaYa
My eldest :)
Monday Gracie got her first ever paycheck, and today after school I took her to set up her first independent bank account. My YaYa is growing up

Dave and Busters
Lisa and I were going to try this place solo, but Smiley wound up coming along, and then LuLu Stacey C, and OJ's friend Richard called and said they were unable to skate as planned, soooo . . . My birthday Eve date night featured four kids, even if two weren't mine!
My verdict on the joint? Prohibitively expensive, mind numbingly loud, and full of arcade games that fail to appeal to me because I'm, you know, a grown up. Good food tho. Still, I doubt I'll return.
