Listening to NPR this morning...
5 year old: is he at the airport?
Me: yes

Me: (sigh) the Pope

One time at dinner, we asked our daughter about her school day (she was 4), and she said, "well... I did NOT hit Harrison on the leg at lunch time" 🙃 Anyway... reminds me of all this

A bike computer displaying 5,000.3 miles on the odometer and 13.4 mph on the speedometer.

5,000 miles on the bucket bike! Naturally, I missed the actual moment but that's ok. 99% of the trips on this bike have been 3 miles or less. Get an e-bike! It's life-changing! #OneLessMinivan

Toad leans forward in his chair, sipping tea, transfixed by Frog's ghost story. From "Shivers" In *Days with Frog and Toad*

Toad sipped his tea. “Frog,” he asked, “are you making this up?”

Apparently I just now told my husband how I did college visits with my sister (and without our parents). After 15 years together, I think he's starting to understand our relationship. Maybe I should have mentioned this sooner? @libbyshannon.bsky.social

I was so mad when I had to start paying for lemons and limes. But I got over it because CO is better then FL

A picture of a large coffee dispenser with coffee bean motif and the words, "Wake Up Decaf" printed in white letters.

I keep thinking about this coffee dispenser at the breakfast bar at the hotel we stayed at last week. "Wake Up, Decaf!" "Eye on the ball, Decaf!" "Look alive, Decaf!"

Can't we leave Decaf alone? Waking up is not her purpose. The regular coffee didn't have this pressure placed on it.

Agreed. If I ever move from CO, it will be because of the wind 😕 Hoping it's not terrible tomorrow

The people in this airport bar should thank me for not singing out loud to The Boy is Mine

Thanks. Me too. Thankful it seems to be under control

It's February 28. The trees are starting to bloom, my 5 year old is in the kiddie pool in the backyard, and there is a wildfire about a mile from my house. But sure, climate change is a hoax.

Kurt Vonnegut stop being so applicable to all time periods of American life, you can’t do that Kurt Vonnegut, your insights are too evergreen Kurt Vonnegut

5 women, one women's team, and one mixed team have won Olympic gold medals for Team USA at these Olympics. Meanwhile, just one individual male athlete and no men's teams have won gold medals for Team USA

Makes you wonder: when will America start investing in men's sports

Like 75% of our phone calls end this way. And I have 2 sisters and we talk all the time.

2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.

6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

5 year old just ran into the house and said, "can I go over to (the 8 yo across the street's) house ok thanks bye love you" without giving me a chance to respond and then slammed the door behind her. How is she more of a teenager than the 12 yo? I'm sure it will get easier, right? 🫣

I love this! I think my 12 year old would frame it just to prove me wrong...
