Unacceptable of the Media

And this is another reason why the media and the "gotcha" mentality of the PC crowd is destroying our society. He raises $1 million for a Children's Hospital, but gasp! eight years ago - while a high school SOPHOMORE - he referenced a Tosh 2.0 skit on Twitter. So no more will be seen of Mr. King. The only good news is that the good folks in Iowa have dug up the REPORTER'S old tweets, and with luck his wretched career is over.

A Little Zep Humor

Lisa: You can't do that.

Me: Why not?

Lisa: There's a sign on the wall right there. 

Me: There's a sign on the wall. But I want to be sure, because you know sometimes words have two meanings. 

Lisa (long pause): What??

Sketchy

The  White House "whistleblower' has allegedly been ID'd as Ned Price, a CIA officer who once published an anti-Trump op-ed in the Washington Post, and who admits he didn't actually hear the call to the Ukrainian President. Hmm. Seems like just the kind of objective, informed source with which to destroy a Republic in the name of political gain.

A Coyote in the Neighborhood

A text received a minute ago from Junie . The important issue for me was not her safety or well-being, but rather if she got a pic for social media. Alas,  she failed and this will have to do. #KidsUgh  #TryHarderNextTime.

Thanks Junie!

Junie and her friend helped me organize the haul from Saturday's comic book convention

A Poll Answer

 

The Comic Book Convention at State Fair Park

1st: great seeing Alex Q and Patrick M

2nd: it was legitimately hard labor to search through each of these boxes. Well, by 1st world standards, but hard labor all the same.

The good news? I found scads of what I needed, and most issues were only 50 cents!

The bad news: there were a LOT of issues.

 Zoinks!

A Problem at Pantherfest

This guy - perhaps an employee of the venue or artist - refused to accommodate a visibly disabled student at Pantherfest, in the process referring to her as a "cripple."  I'm told the UWM police are now involved.

I did not know this.

First Day of School!

Have a great first day of 7th grade (even if it is storming outside!)

At the Lake with Smiley

After visiting YaYa in her dorm and dining in the cafeteria, Smiley wanted to go for a hike at the lakefront (well, a hike in my out of shape opinion; more a leisurely walk). The weather was warm but held the threat of rain, and Lake Michigan itself appeared agitated. It was a nice evening with my Odds (1st and 3rd born.)

Two Sad Anniversaries

And yesterday marked 50 years since the plane crash that killed the great Rocky Marciano.

YaYa's Dorm

the photos are kinda blurry but I think we can hand the "coolest dorm ever" award to my sister  -Junie

The Dorm

First Day of College!!!

Although classes don't start until after Labor Day, YaYa moved into the dorms today. A new chapter has begun for her, and we couldn't be prouder!
