Just checking in to say congrats to my Blue Jays fan friends! So happy for all of you! 💙

3-3 road trip against two of the best teams in the league is good

An underrated thing about Arizona is the sky. The sunrises and sunsets are incredible. And when it happens to rain, you get views like this.

Thank you!

Yes I am.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Six years ago today after a long roller coaster ride, my bro and SIL adopted this little fireball on my unofficial birthday. Can’t even begin to explain how much she has changed my life. So happy we get to spend the day together.

She wanted to reenact our courthouse selfie.

Had a great time at our first @thesavbananas.bsky.social game last night!

Going to take a break from social media. I’ll pop in at times but won’t be here on a regular basis. Thank you guys for your friendships. You have brightened so many of my days. If you want to talk, dm me & I’ll get back to you.

Take care of yourselves and be nice to each other.

I lost my mom yesterday. She was 80 but it was unexpected. I’m heartbroken. She was my rock.

She became disabled 21 years ago and I was her caregiver. Wasn’t always easy. She was stubborn. We bickered a lot. But we really loved each other and we made sure to say it. I miss her.

The Grinch vs Buddy the Elf Day for spirit week at their school.

My nephew woke me up this morning in full costume. When I opened my eyes, he said “I’m Buddy the Elf! What’s your favorite color?”

Side note: He was the only kid in his class to dress up so he was like a real life Buddy. 😂

Same. And I catch myself saying things to my niece and nephew that he used to say to me when I was a kid.

My condolences on your loss.

Fuck every disease that takes our loved ones.

Nineteen years since we said goodbye. Miss you, Dad. #FuckCancer

Not great unless Ricketts loosens the purse strings.

Red, white, and black Air Jordan baseball cleats

My nephew’s name is Jordan and he asked for baseball cleats for Christmas. He didn’t specify a brand or color so…I had to do it.

Then I wouldn’t be doing my job as a funcle. 😂

Dude’s night!

Holy cow!

I’m hanging in there. Happy that I no longer live in the Midwest this time of year. How are the boys?

Mike! How are you doing?

And the florp thing should be a rule imo.

BASEBALL FANS: you're alienating the people who actually watch your game
MANFRED: pitch clock violations are now florps
BASEBALL FANS: what
MANFRED: golden at bat rule

My date tonight…

Niece 2, nephew, niece 1, and I at an arcade.

Myself and niece 2 at a school program.

Nephew and I before his first baseball game.

Nephew (dressed as the Joker), me, and niece 2 (dressed as Harley Quinn) right before heading out to trick or treat.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I’m thankful I get to be an uncle to these awesome kids.

I’ve been battling a cold so my brain isn’t really working right now. I’ll keep my eyes open for a clever take though.

I used to make this offer over on the bird site, but if anyone in the Chicago area needs a place to go for Thanksgiving because your family doesn’t accept you, you’re welcome at my house and you’re welcome with my family.
