    As I told #sonTwo about one of the courses I’m taking “sometimes it feels like I’m pouring water on a concrete patio and wondering why the ground underneath never gets wet”.

    #sonTwo and I had just watched #StarWars Episode One at the theater. Heading home, we stopped at Walmart. We passed the toy aisle and I noticed toy light sabers. I grabbed one, accused my child of being a Sith, and started swinging it at him. He ran, saying "stop, you're embarrassing me", while I gave chase.

    Many years later, when he left for college, he told some other students this and other stories and they voted me "most embarrassing dad".

    #sonTwo and his wife recently had a situation where his job wasn't able to do electronic payroll, so they had to wait for a check to be mailed from HQ. Meanwhile, her $EMPLOYER was taken over by another company, so their payroll was late. I decided to send some money, but I had to wait for unemployment insurance to send it to me first.

    It just happened that her parents were visiting for most of this time, so they stocked the house with food.

    By the time my money arrived, the in-laws were gone and the paychecks had started arriving.

    #sonTwo reports that his wife likes the new rice cooker because this one has a tray which enables her to steam vegetables while cooking rice.

    I think this one also doubles as a pressure cooker. Probably not on the same level as Insta-Pot or similar devices, but whatever.

    People refer to "Zeon" ... which I assume is a TV show. It always reminds me of PR:Zeo ( Power Rangers Zeo ).

    By the time #PR:Zeo aired, #sonTwo and my nephews had all abandoned #Power_Rangers, so I honestly do not think I ever saw an episode. I think PR:IS ( Power Rangers In Space ) was the last one I saw any episodes of.

    Sent #sonTwo, #Daddy_A, and my friends Mark and S each a photo of the outside and inside of #GD1's birthday card. Mark just called back to ask me if I knew what I bought.

    Yes. She'll be 13. That's probably the tamest card she'll get.

    @clacke Contrasts #Hong_Kong in 2003 responding to #SARS with #Sweden in 2020 responding to #COVID-19.

    Admittedly, I was barely even aware of SARS at the time (and completely missed MERS a few years later). But at the time, I was working full time, attending a college and a university, teaching a class at church, and trying to work out custody of #sonTwo. I was running full tilt for around 20 hours a day, drinking around 4 twelve-cup pots of coffee each day.

    I'm really surprised I remember those years at all.

    I want a smoker. And a nice, large grill with a charcoal side and a propane side. If I ever bought them, though, I'd have them delivered to #sonTwo's place. I think they are too expensive for my level of utilization. Better to put it where we can jointly use it.

    Ordered a replacement for #sonTwo's rice cooker / pressure cooker. The old one died after three years of frequent use.

    I'm pretty low in motivation and making plans for the future right now, but I am starting to think that whatever I do next should involve starting and building a business together with #sonTwo, so that when I cannot work any longer or I pass away, he can carry it forward.

    I'd love to see the older and younger boys also assist, but the middle child is the one I trust to make decisions that are closest to my own values, so he's the one I'd want to leave in control.

    Anyway, that's all great, but doing what? How would I prepare (skill up, get funding, acquire necessary tools and equipment)?

    I don't have any answers or even any leanings that I could use for guidance, which stinks, because I have never been the person that did not know what I wanted to achieve and how I wanted to proceed to make that happen.

    Daughter-in-law sent a side view photo of #sonTwo and #GS3. The main differences are their ears and that one has a beard. Otherwise, they look as alike as two of the same model of car.

    I'm a permanent vote-by-mail voter. Compared to in-person voting, I don't have to worry about lines, breakdowns, or running out of receipt paper for the machines.

    (One time, I dropped #sonTwo off to vote. There were long lines, and while he was voting, they announced that because of the lack of receipt paper, most of their machines were inoperable. A couple of hundred people were unable to vote.)

    When #sonTwo was in 4th? grade, he had to study the missions, so the plan was to visit every one of them in the Southern half of the state. My work schedule and finances were such that I never took him to a single one. (IIRC, his mother took him to 2-3 one weekend; that’s as far as it ever went.)

    #sonTwo’s wife had a medical appointment. The doctor said her job is too stressful ... so now she’s got the added stress of trying to find a less-stressful job or the stress of them trying to stay afloat without her income.

    #sonTwo got DisneyPlus for a month because he wanted to watch "Hamilton". They can't afford to keep the service, so he plans to watch the show again at least weekly while they still have it.

    It is about 21:00 in #KCMO, so I'm not expecting a return call from #sonOne. #sonTwo is off-work around now, so I may get to talk with him for a little while.

    The city's #Independence_Day #fireworks show was unimpressive because there were at least three other directions with equal or better fireworks. The muni show also lacked pacing, so there would be 3-4 in rapid succession, then a longish delay before the next little batch. I gave up on it and went back inside. The finale sounded impressive, but it was over before I got back outside to try to see it.

    But it was a good reminder:

    "And the rockets' red glare
    The bombs bursting in air
    Gave proof through the night
    That our flag was still there"

    In other news, #Daddy_A sent me a little video of his neighborhood's fireworks. It sounded like two SWAT teams playing "full contact" capture the flag. #SonTwo said his area is also "crazy" with fireworks, but he was hoping everyone burned through their supplies quickly, so that #GS3 could get to sleep at a reasonable time.

    #sonTwo tells me that #GS3 is playing with the granddoggy's new ball more than she is. I guess he like hers better than the ball I sent for him.

    "We saw the 'new' (2016) Independence Day and discovered there is a *third* Hemsworth." @clacke@libranet.de https://libranet.de/display/0b6b25a8-175e-fb9a-5a56-9be107080758

    This was the sequel, and not a remake, correct? Either way, I haven't seen it, but I did take #sonTwo to see the first one (I don't think we saw it *on* Independence Day, but it was close afterward.
