- I got my Chromebook replacement screen in the mail, and after watching a short YouTube video I was up and running in less than five minutes.

- We couldn’t find DogGeedingII for the longest time last night. Heck, I was even walking around the neighborhood with a flashlight. Later WifeGeeding calls to tell me that he fell asleep in BoyGeeding’s room, who was put to bed about an hour before I started searching. I think he was so tired from the dog park that he didn’t even hear us leave the room yesterday after storytime.
- Speaking of dogs, there’s a local story of a vet who instead of putting down a dog like he said he was going to, he kept it alive in deplorable conditions for blood transfusions and experiments.

- I keep having this dream about inventing time travel, but it always ends in death because in my calculations I fail to take into account the orit of the Earth around the sun and the planet’s rotation – so the person is sent back in time but not to a particular place in time – he just appears in deep space and dies.
- I hear parents complaining about the number of standardized tests children have to take. I wonder if students get to take any sort of practice tests modeled after the real thing to get familiar with it.

- I consider golf a hobby, not a sport. I’m not saying golfers aren’t athletic, but what they do is a hobby.
