#Daddy_A turned thirty years old recently. How did the youngest of all get so old?
-
I talked to my “no answer” kid ( #Daddy_A ) for a few minutes recently because of birthdays. It was good, but uncomfortable. I ended it pretty quickly.
Our last actual phone call before now was Christmas of 2017. (But we do communicate over #Wire regularly and sometimes via #SMS.)
-
@bthall The funny thing is #sonOne and #sonTwo each contact me to ask how the other is doing, but they contact each other directly to talk about me or #Daddy_A.
-
I’d really like it a lot more if delivery drivers rang the doorbell, so people that are there inside the house would come out and receive packages. I see by the tracking that they left it on the porch at 14:00 CDT, but neither #sonTwo nor his wife have texted to say they received it.
#Daddy_A received his package and acknowledged it earlier, so I know they got their stuff.
-
#Daddy_A tells me that the shipment arrived. #Toddler_A3 and #Little_Boy_A2 went straight for the books, ignoring their clothing.
-
Shipped some stuff for #Daddy_A's kids and #sonTwo's kid. I have to wait for payday before I buy & ship to #sonOne's kids.
The reason I shipped these now is that I included clothing and three of the four recipients are two and under. If I wait, they might outgrow their gifts.
-
Really wishing it wasn't already 22:00 where #sonOne, #sonTwo, #Daddy_A are. I'd like to videochat with them so they can see the new haircut and shave and tell me how they think I look.
-
It is hard to believe my little Sponge Bob fan, #Daddy_A, is going to be thirty soon. It seemed like he would stay twelve forever.
-
In today's phone calls with #sonTwo, we're trying to arrange a videochat between him and his wife & child, me, and #Daddy_A and his wife & children. #sonOne's work schedule changed recently, so we'll skip involving him this time.

@kai @bthall
https://emojipedia.org/grimacing-face/ 😬 is what #Daddy_A sends me when I call him by his childhood nickname.
"I still think that for most people, the value proposition of college is very poor."
I agree. I don't think we're helping by telling people they *have to* pile up $100K of unsheddable student loan debt or they'll spend their lives working in #Gree-C-Burger. Most people would probably be better off in an on-the-job training program or apprenticeship, or even a trade school / vocational school.

#sonTwo was in too many fights as a 6th grader, even though "fight" was him standing there and letting someone else hit him. The school threatened to send him to the county's juvenile detention center for his daily classes.
Meanwhile, #Daddy_A's school was near a racially-troubled high school, and the bigger kids' mass fights (school district: "they were not race riots") spilled over onto his campus, so he was afraid to go back.
Thank God for charter schools. Neither one of them would have made it without them.
-
@moonman It sounds like a cool idea. One of the local schools (where all the kids had food nicknames like "Cheese" and "Pork Chop", so they weren't starting out with the most fitness-oriented people) had a yearlong "prep to run a marathon" program during #Daddy_A's senior year. A few of the kids actually did wind up doing a marathon.
-
#Daddy_A shares (in response to a news story about a child missing from the family yard): When we were in #SoCal, we were afraid to let #Little_Boy_A play in the yard. In the #Midwest, the neighbors are watching him as much as I am.
Curiously, he did not say what he felt about the child's safety in the Phoenix, #AZ, area.
-
Both #sonTwo and #Daddy_A used to work at #Target. #sonOne and his wife worked at #Walmart.
-
#Daddy_A sent me a picture of #Little_Boy_A (age 6) and #Little_Boy_A2 (age 2.5) playing games on the #Switch I got them. The younger one is gigantic. He's within an inch of his older brother's height and seemingly heavier. The older one is already taller than most of his classmates.
-
#Daddy_A and I are swapping memories of when he and his brother were in middle school and high school. Like the time we were on a school trip and he fell down a hill into a patch of cactus. That one almost resulted in a helicopter flight to a hospital. It had been cool that morning, so I made him take his coat. The coat was ruined, but most of the cactus spines were stopped by it.
-
I still occasionally call one of the kids by his childhood nickname. This time it was #Daddy_A, who is slightly embarrassed by the nick.
-
I reminded #Daddy_A that at one point, the Iraq war was going poorly and there were rumors that the US was going to reinstate the draft in order to supply the numbers they needed there. I had decided that I would attempt to sneak he and #sonTwo into Mexico (with the help of a nephew that is a Mexican citizen) if the draft happened.
We were talking about all the different family members who helped me raise them after the mother married a guy who wanted nothing to do with teen boys.
-
Too late. I was going to call #Daddy_A and try to get a few minutes of conversation with grandkids.
-
Because we were both doing maintenance around the house, #sonTwo and I split our call into three. I messsed up and put the part in backwards, so I'll have to redo my task. Family day at Home Depot, I guess.
#sonOne was at work, so we had no phone call this week.
#Daddy_A and I chatted on #Wire at the same time as Mark and I were conversing via SMS.
Finally, co-worker S called and we were on the phone about two hours and forty minutes (talking about $EMPLOYER and life after $EMPLOYER).
Full day. I'm going to go to bed now. #TZAF
