BLOG: Father's Day in a Crazy World
Hello friends! Last week I had a great Father’s Day! My oldest and I had a video chat from his home office in Minnesota and then my two youngest came to visit me. They got me cards and gift cards to some cool places! Man they are getting so much older, its insane!
Scott got me a Taco Bell card, that I will likely use to take them to. (I think he was banking on that! But I’m glad he got me something he knows we could share together). James got me an ebay card, which I know I will use. Ebay is a dangerous place for me. Its the only place where I will truly find something I know I will want! (If only shipping prices weren’t so crazy right now) And then I bought myself my own gift… this mag online:
It basically collects a lot of articles about Neil Peart, who I am a huge fan of. Will make good bathroom reading! I love magazines. I miss them.
Meanwhile I am finally diving into ANDOR, which is pretty great. Lives up to the hype. I binged season 1 and I will do the same for Season 2 over the next couple days. And I got season 2 of STRANGE NEW WORLDS to try out. I know I will have problems with it, but I will just try to enjoy the ride.
Also finally checking out some albums I own and I haven’t drilled down onto yet. So far the stand out is this record:
I can’t believe its taken me this long to get to this one. This might be his best. But mostly I have been listening to Beach Boys and Brian Wilson stuff for the last couple weeks. I’m sure you know why.
Anything to distract us from this world around us, am I right? Take joy where you can. I got this weekend off and I was going to go on a vacation, but funds got taken away for that due to a couple car repairs. (Oh the never ending struggle.) So I am doing a staycation where I will try to bust out some stuff for the upcoming comic con. I hope I can emerge on Monday having all of the stuff I needed done and out the door to get printed and back in time for me to take to the show. Here’s hoping! Plus I gotta finish up these pope cards. (I cannot belive I am typing that)
Everyone stay sane out there. Thanks for reading! -T
