So my son is going to prom today, he is a sophomore but his girlfriend is a senior. It definitely makes me feel old though seeing him in a tux.

Our oldest is a junior and she’s going to prom next Saturday. I took her shopping for a dress last weekend and it’s surreal. How is my baby old enough to do this?

When I picked up my prom date for the first time, I thought she looked gorgeous. Absolutely amazing. Her giant of a father saw me with my googly eyes, tightly gripped my shoulder, and pulled me aside and told me extremely sternly "Don't go hot dogging in that rocket of yours!" I immediately relaxed...

Anyway my point is make sure SB practices what he tells The Boy in front of a mirror or something.

I swear every significant snowfall this winter has had the density of a neutron star. Garlic and onion shoots were popping up in my garden yesterday and I had to cover them with extra straw for protection. Annoying!

Agree, a majority of our snow fell when it was about 31F, and it is just wet poo poo that freezes pretty much solid.

Today, however, I will be taking the snow tires off of the cars, because we have zero snow and 40's in the forecast.

Yeah I did not look at the forecast and didn’t know we were getting snow overnight let alone getting 8” dumped on us. And it’s starting to snow more again.


Honestly though, lousy Smarch weather and all, I don’t ever expect Spring to fully rear its head until like end of April because I know I’ll be disappointed if I expect it any earlier

My oldest friendships withered on the vine once we all grew up and got married and had kids, because minimal time made petty slights and old conflicts much more apparent and unlivable.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t still mourning their absence in my life nearly a decade later.

Good luck, internet friend.

The difficulty of maintaining IRL friendships in our current era, especially for dudes, is thing that's been well-documented over the last several years. Even before COVID it was a rough time, every time I move to a new city I've lost touch with like 90% of the people that I knew in the previous one. Good luck.

"Yes I can hear you, I don't have ear cancer!"

I feel really lucky that I’ve managed to stay in good contact with most of my closest friends from high school/college. We all make an effort to get together once a year and the only time that’s been derailed was the first COVID year. It probably helps, actually, that most of us moved and went to new places because it meant we kinda clung to those relationships as a lifeline. The people who are still kicking around back home are the ones that we’re least connected to now.

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

All of my old friends keep moving away. I’ve just been slowly shedding friends ever since we all started having kids. First to the burbs, and now out of state. We’re still friends I guess, but if i only see them like once a year now, so it’s hard to call that an active friendship. I’ve been lucky enough to pick up a few new friends lately, but it’s not the same as hanging with people you’ve known for 20+ years.

I mean Donald Trump is a joke and loathsome person but I’d be lying if I said I can’t wait for him to eviscerate that sniveling worm Desantis in the primary. Desantis is so outmatched and he really has no idea.

Also, Biden sucks and he very may well lose, but Trump losing to Biden twice would also be very funny.

It sucks that “funny” is kind of our best hope in politics anymore.

Wouldn't the transfer portal hurt mid majors the most, where a player can leap to a Big 5 team without less issue?

That hurts them, but they and the lower end power conference teams get to drain some depth from the would-be elite teams, which leads to the overall increase in parity.

The teams at the top can harvest talent from everyone else, but for every elite player they get in, another starter is leaving rather than riding the bench.

I know, it's always a risk, but I hate driving with snows to and from work on a random 70 degree spring day.

Also for anyone not paying attention to the superior NCAA tournament (hockey), in first round the four Big 10 teams outscored their opponents by a combined 36-4.

e: And for anyone else who did the Hulu/Disney/ESPN bundle, it seems like all the games except for maybe the final will be streaming on Hulu.

Well, I never really want to do that mean dad schtick anyway, because has that ever really worked? My future father in law showed his extensive gun collection the first time I came to visit. Uh, let’s just say it wasn’t really a deterrent later. ;)

Plus, if the whole point is to presumably stop the kids from having sex so that the girl doesn’t get pregnant, it really doesn’t seem applicable if my daughter is gay. I trust my daughter, and she’s got a good head on her shoulders.

Now if she brings home someone wearing Falcons gear, we are going to HAVE WORDS.

Speaking of maintaining friendships, I met up with some friends today to have lunch. It was nice to catch up for a couple hours over burgers & they each thanked me for arranging the meet up. One of the friends recently had their second kid so I know their time is becoming even more limited.


Dick's Primal Burgers allowed me to make a porter float. Yeah it's kind of weird the ice cream was at the bottom but drat this was tasty.

Everything pictured is still vegan and as keto as I could make it.
