The Garden Bros. Circus - Junie's First Circus!

Two Times

Two times my kids are a pain: 

1) when their friends are near and they want to pretend to be a big shot.

2) Every other time.

My Thoughts

I fail to see why Evolution is such a thorn in the side of Believers. It tells you how life changed, not how it began. Yes, I see the conflict with Genesis 2, but that itself conflicts with the *first* chapter of Genesis, which may, with only a little rope, be read as a scientific explanation of Creation (by the standards of a nomadic Bronze Age people).

Brewers - Diamondbacks with my Pop

And on the 10th anniversary of Ryan Braun's MLB debut, too!

Hollywood Divorce

I'm no fan, but I really thought these two would make it.

Grrrr

Rest assured, it is just a lone wolf, and it has nothing to do with religion, and can't we all open borders/refugee/kumbaya?

The Manchester Aftermath

If the slaughter of children isn't worth your anger, what is??? Wake up!

Brewers - Diamondbacks with my Pop pt 2

As games go, it was a dud yesterday, a lackluster 4-0 loss. For my Dad, who tries to see a game a month, it's an unbroken string of losses dating back years. Still, it was a good time. 

As we were leaving he had a lot of trouble getting to his feet. "When did you get so old Dad?" I asked, not unkindly. "I asked myself the same question last week," he said. 

Later, getting mushy and unmanly, I thanked him for all he's done for me over the years. 

"I could have done better, " he said. 

 "You did fine Pop," I replied.

Finished 1 Samuel.

School Bus Accident

YaYa's school bus was hit by a car on the way home. She's OK. Word is the car hit the bus then still had enough speed to hit another car, then careen into an empty grass lot. That's the second bus accident she's been in, the first happening years ago during her time in STAA.

Hubby made breakfast for the whole family, i guess I'll keep him. ❤ - Lisa

Knock it off

I don't condone or enjoy the defacement of private property. They bought it, leave it the f alone.

The Sacred Heart of Jesus Statute

Whoohoo! After an intense Ebay auction I'm now the proud owner of this chalkware! Sure, it's a waste of money better spent elsewhere. But my Grandma owned one just like this and kept it in her bedroom, and doggone it, I wanted it.

The Philippines have declared martial law on the southern island of Mindanao after a wave of attacks by Islamic terror groups, backed by ISIS, have created a state of rebellion.

My Fitbit has not synced properly since April 15, and Fitbit has "exhausted all troubleshooting options." They will, however, offer me a lovely 25% discount on a replacement device. Yeah, no thanks.

Roger Moore

RIP Roger Moore, aka James Bond, age 89.

Children are dead in Manchester. Please, let us not regurgitate the same tired routine: we will light candles, we will offer prayers, we will change our FB profile picture, we will say this loser doesn't stand for everyone that shares his beliefs, we will vow to be strong . . . and we will forget, and it will repeat.

The Bye Bye Man

Don't think it, don't say it? More like don't rent it, don't watch it. #dull

Revolting

Fire this a$$hole #cbs #yahoo

I went to Five Below and nearby Omega Restaurant with Lisa

Ridiculous to find this objectionable

I was going to post this an hour ago, with a joke about how I was sure some liberal would find this statement offensive. Annnnd then, in the meantime, some liberals did object. Honestly, he should stop worrying (if he does) about ANYONE that voted for HRC. They will never care for him, no matter what. F 'em.

The Rec Site SUCKS

I'm a 3rd year law student with additional graduate level work in library science and education - and it has taken me ONE HOUR to register my kids for classes on the Milwaukee Rec site AND I was just informed I have to start over from scratch. #EitherIveGoneStupidOrTheirSiteSux

Watching Dr Who

1971's "The Daemons" -

"I see Yates. So the Doctor was frozen stiff at the Barrows, and was then revived by a freak heat wave. Benton was beaten up by invisible forces, and the local white witch claims she's seen the Devil." - The Brigadier, calmly recapping recent events.

I (all too briefly) got to chat with Nick S tonight. It was good seeing you!

Drumline!

I just had the pleasure of watching my son perform in drumline! What a great job! Proud of you PD!
