- I had a great Father’s Day weekend. Again, I took the kids to the lake, and we had a blast. It was the first time I swam or did any activity in a lake in about 23 years (last week I didn’t get in the water). Thankfully, my back didn’t pay the price the next morning from all the tubing I did. Actually, I’m grateful. Just seven months ago, I didn’t have fine motor skills or walk unassisted. In some ways, it’s a miracle I’m fully recovered.
- In addition to that awesome video DaughterGeeding made for me for Father’s Day, she gave me a unique Homer Simpson mug I will drink coffee out of this morning. BoyGeeding wished me a happy Father’s Day when he first saw me and right before bedtime gave me a new blanket. I thought he wasn’t going to give me anything, which would have been okay. I’m just glad to have them with me for the day much less the weekend.
- It was odd/weird that on Father’s Day and Juneteenth, Wordle’s answer yesterday was “LOSER”. What were they thinking?
- If you live in Texas and want to see what’s on your driving record, you can request it online.
- My electricity plan was set to expire. The plans they gave me were much more expensive than what I was using, so I decided to choosetexaspower.org, and found a rate 5 khw cheaper. Switching probably took me less than 90-seconds. I was amazed at how easy and fast it was. It’s my understanding that this is mainly because of the work of a BoN reader. It all started because of the NFC Championship game the Cowboys lost to the 49ers, you know, “The Catch”. Driving home one day I heard him interviewed about it on NPR, here’s the audio and transcript if you’re curious. And a special thank-you to him for serving and helping all Texans.
- I thought this nicely summed up the biggest issue I’m having with my ex and her avoidance of having a conversation. It hit the nail on the head.
- One challenge I’ve faced is making sense of a saying I always believed in: “You don’t give up on the ones you love.” I did a little research and found this, which was helpful, though I deny there was any manipulation on my part.
- This is a cute family moment for the Obamas, and I get a kick out of the tweet since it was from Obama’s White House photographer who followed him around for eight years. I bet few others know the man better than him.
I taught him light and composition, just saying. https://t.co/YLDrWR81a6

- No telling what my kids will remember when I ask them this question in their adult years.
Once I asked my middle son what he recalled about his mom and me splitting up. Figured he was little and didn't remember much.
"Your tail lights driving off."
That young man is 32 now, and still hugs a man who doesn't deserve it. That's my Father's Day gift. pic.twitter.com/ABUBecDvBu
