Had a conversation with #sonTwo about #baseball's one-game sudden-death wild card playoff games. We both agree that it is incongruous with a sport that takes 162 games to pick the teams going into the playoffs.

#sonTwo and family went to a hot wings place that made them sign a waiver before they could try the "this time it really is hot, we swear" flavor. He said it was hotter than their other flavors, but not as much as hyped.

#sonTwo: You don’t know yet whether you like New York, because you have not had to drive or take the subway yet. What you really dislike about most places is commuting to and from work. If you had to do that in NYC, you might decide you don’t like the city.

I admit it. He is correct.

In last night’s #videochat, #GS3 brought his power tool to Grandpa and asked for batteries 🔋 to make it work again. #sonTwo said it is the lug nut gun that mechanics 🧰 use. It came with a toy car that got broken within less than a day. And that it is just an irritating noisemaker without the car.

I guess I will be ordering some AA batteries soon.

Nor have I. I do remember #sonTwo coming home from school and saying that every class just replayed the 2nd plane's crash over and over.

#sonTwo said yesterday that due to medical issues, they’re not supposed to have alcoholic beverages except occasionally (that is, less than once per month), so they’ve pretty much gone alcohol-free.

This came in the context of me drinking a can of San Pellegrino water during our #videochat and him asking me whether it was beer. (No, alcohol is a great way to go to sleep, but I don’t even use it for that, as I expect it would lose its effect after a while.)

#GS3 showed me his toy tractor. He objected when I called the driver aR farmer. #GS4 was quiet, but stared intently at Grandpa.

Today, #sonTwo and I briefly talked about him getting a place outside the municipal boundaries, so they can have farm animals.

Network congestion was an issue today, so images were pixelated during most of our half hour call.

And #GS3’s shipment of books and art stuff arrived. #GS4 had a couple of things in there also, but I forgot to get anything for my granddoggy.

The two year old was holding a Captain Underpants book and waiting for #sonTwo to read it to him.

Since the CU and Dog Man books are not toddler resistant, 2nd son said he was going to keep them away from GS3 and just bring them out when it is time to read.

(GS3 saw me showing his dad some books I bought for his cousin A1 … got excited about incoming books … so Grandpa bought him some of the same books. [And I also got many of the same books for cousin #GD2] … the under 13 crowd will have lots of fun with these stories.)

#sonTwo’s wife sent a photo of #GS3 reading to his little brother. (I know it isn’t quite reading yet, but he knows the story and can match most of it with the right page.)

After yesterday's farm trip, #sonTwo bought #GS3 a $5 toy tractor (in familiar John Deere green and gold colors). I know he'll be playing farmer for the next couple of days.

#sonTwo's mother-in-law saw him make quesadillas with meat and vegetables, so now she's started making "burrito pizzas" too.

#sonTwo and his wife took #GS3 and #GS4 to a farm of some type. The 2 year old got to feed and pet goats and ponies, and to touch a tractor. He almost got nose to nose with a goat.

Sweaty boy, though. It must be hot and humid there.

The younger child watched and smiled.

I remember coming back from San Diego with a Mac mini and a photo printer for #sonTwo. A few days beforehand, Apple had released an OS upgrade, and since it was free for us, 2nd son upgraded.

Immediately, printing broke. I had to compile the printer driver from scratch to make it work. So that’s my “it just works” experience with #MacOSX.

#sonTwo finally heard back from the job he had applied for: No.

That means a move to $OTHER_STATE will not happen.

Got a message from #Daddy_A on #Wire:

> Did #sonTwo tell you ...

No, but even if he had, I'd probably rather hear it from you.

Tempted to send this to #sonTwo ... it'll remind him of his childhood.

@clacke I don't know if you already have it, but I found "Dog Man Guide to Creating Comics in 3-D" at the store.

My granddaughter #GD2 will receive this, "Cat Kid Comic Club" and 10 Dog Man books as part of her shipment this week.

I notice that most of these books' titles are based on the name of a classic "school forced me to read this" book. Are these kid-friendly adaptations of the greats, like the Wishbone books were?

#sonTwo enjoyed Wishbone's "Be A Wolf" so much that he voluntarily read "Beowulf" afterward.

Remembered being on a public library waiting list for almost a month, awaiting a chance to borrow the first #Harry_Potter book. The day I picked it up, I worked an evening shift, got in around 01:00, and stayed up until 04:30 reading. It was pretty enjoyable. I picked up #sonTwo from school and we started reading together. We read that book together every day after school until it was completed. Then I turned it in ahead of schedule.

On payday, I headed down to the nearest Barnes and Noble bookstore and bought the book. When books 2 and 3 were available, I bought them also. I do not think we read or bought book 4 or any later ones, because he got into weird stuff ("Beowulf" in the original version, which I have never completed myself.)

Target has books in the ‘Captain Underpants’ series on sale for $8 and books in the ‘Dog Man’ series on sale for $9 ($3 below normal price).

However, they don’t have ‘A Tale of Two Kitties’ or ‘Dog Man and Cat Kid’ in stock. Those are the two Dog Man books I’m missing for #GD2.

I still do not have a list of which books #A1 already has, so he’s going to have to wait. #Daddy_A is still too worried about the medical issue to either get me a list himself or hand the phone to his son and say “take photos of the book covers” and then send them to me.

Meanwhile, #sonTwo has committed to read them to #GS3 if I send them. Which means he’s likely to get some of the books.

My two younger boys talked to their doctors, who told them the same thing, so neither of them is vaccinated. Both are much heavier than they should be, too.

#sonTwo's workplace has been closed twice because someone who works there was infected.
