Introducing The Salish Sea Kit 🌊

Suggested to the five-year-old that a long car ride in the dark might be a good opportunity to close his eyes.

He replied, giddily, “My name is Honk Shoo!”

Tonight at dinner my four-year old informed me that the best grandmother ever was Batman. I must admit, I had no idea.

A new way to get my coverage Continuing the migration away from micro-blogging

I've started a free newsletter. Think of it as a one-stop shop for all my coverage, as well as a bit of bonus content for the true sickos.

Lamine Yamal is so obviously already the best player in the world. Please god give keep this kid mostly healthy for the next 15 years.

I was today years old when I discovered #Nightwish. How could I have missed such an excellent vocalist like Floor Jansen? I’ve been watching her YT videos for the past two hours.

What I think Sounders learned from this season:
- Obed Vargas is a star. Only question is when he moves and how much the fee is
- Cristian Roldan can be a top-class 6. He’s your starter next year
- Albert Rusnak, Jordan Morris can lead offense but they badly need another piece

Cristian Roldan probably said it best: ‘We did enough to not lose the game. We didn't do enough to win the game.’

Brian Schmeter nailed the tactics and had his guys absolutely ready to play. He’s still the best coach in MLS.

My older daughter misheard the word “albums” and started calling them “owl bums” and that’s what they should be called now, imo.

my grocery list app doesn’t have autocorrect so I ended up with “drows franberries” and tell me that doesn’t sound like a specialty berry grown only in the underdark and prized by the dark elves

Nouhou appears to be ready to play vs. LA Galaxy Nouhou able to fully train after returning from illness, but Yeimar is still questioanble.

My four-year old had a meltdown at dinner tonight when she learned that dinosaurs are extinct. We had a long conversation that ended with her deciding to become a scientist that brings back dinosaurs. I think I may have laid the foundation for an apocalypse.

I’m running “Buried Dynasty” from the Radiant Citadel adventure compendium for my DnD group. We’ve done several of the RC adventures and they are great fun.

The programming for toddlers at our local library has been such a boon for our toddler’s development. It’s basically been two-year old preschool.

Tonight I tried to explain “Last Christmas” by Wham! to my four-year old. I failed.

U.S. soccer fans: Brad Guzan is the ageless goalkeeping wonder of the century.
Stefan Frei: Hold my paintbrush.

I once lost a bet and lived in a pillow fort for three months.
They are not related. Those are just two things I’ve done.

Sigh - let’s do it again Sounders 😉

Jackson Ragen just pocketed Olivier Giroud for 70 minutes in an elimination game but can't get a USMNT call-up for some reason.
