what is a man

This is specifically for standing on the sideline of a chilly, windy soccer field, doing calisthenics while spectating will make me look like even more of a lunatic

The hoodie goes under the jacket as part of the Dad Layering System

That's pretty much exactly what I want except for the elastic banding on the waist 😞

I have a fleece lined Patagonia light jacket that I've owned for 20+ years that I keep patching and I will need to buy a new one at some point

An espresso and a long evening walk with the dog and I'm back in the fight

an espresso after dinner really an underrated sensory experience

I teleported to a waffle house in Dothan, Alabama one time

Alternatively: back the Bradley on up and drop ramp right through the door.

Honey, I'm home!

Silhouette charge, go.

BLUF: it is getting harder to provide the life we had as kids to our own children. That is the cherry on top of the "25 years of war/unresolved pandemic trauma/economic volatility/Trump dismantling the state" shit sundae that is on the table in front of us now

Lies, Damned Lies and Economic Vibes The continuing mystery of feel-bad economics

why the economic vibes are shit: prices are too high, and the bsky demographic (40yos) are seeing the opportunities they saw their parents realize in the 90s slip out of their own grasp as housing, cars, and healthcare costs all increase
