I am rather grumpy this morning. There's some family drama that got stirred overnight. My response was to lay out what happened and why, only redacting the names of some who have not yet been dragged into it, while implying that some people on one "side" are secretly not really supporting that side's arguments.
I'm expecting it to blow up family-wide today, but then we should have a group phone call where I'll vocally say most of what I already put in writing, and it should fizzle out after that.
I'm definitely not happy with #lazyNephew for starting this. So far, I've kept #sonTwo out of it, despite him being the focus of his cousin's claims. -

@bthall I'll lend you my name for myself when I'm too heavy, since neither #sonTwo nor @mike like me calling myself "Blubba". -

Did something change about the show? Both #sonOne and #sonTwo have pretty much stopped talking about it in the past six months to a year. I don't know if they just haven't thought about mentioning it or if they've stopped watching. -

Tonight's call with #sonTwo was shorter than normal. We talked about jobstuff (he's in a new state, looking for a job) and the movie they watched last night, and birthday presents for the AUG and SEP grandkids' birthdays. -

I missed #sonTwo's call (18:00, so I was probably still on the bus, heading for the park-and-ride). By the time I called back, he was in bed. -

#sonTwo successfully completed his return to #MO, leeaving #FL yesterday and arrivibg today. -

Mentioned to #sonTwo that I had a shot at a few months' work in #FL and he said "I spent eight years in Florida and you never visited even once. As soon as I leave you want to go there?"
I have one to three weeks to express interest. I'll talk to K about it. He worked in that office for a while. It can't be worse than working in #PR. -

@dog I'm on the phone with #sonTwo and heading for bed soon. Sorry. -

Missed #sonTwo's call today (and he missed mine), but I did have a long talk with #lazyNephew about job-hunting and not losing hope when it takes longer than one expected. -

Great talking with #sonOne today. We discussed games ( #2DS / #3DS, #Switch, #PS4, WinPC ), vehicles, jobs, his brother #sonTwo, and the outing they did for #GD1's 11th birthday.
Of course, I talked with the oldest granddaughter and also briefly with the half-asleep six year old #GD2. (She had her first negative online experience. Someone persuaded her to give them her password for an online service targeted at kids; even after they recovered her account and reported the other person, he's still roaming the virtual world, targeting obviously very young kids. I think my son is going to cancel their accounts in favor them joining a limited-access Minecraft server run by a co-worker.) -

I admitted in separate phone calls with #sonTwo and @mike yesterday that after getting so much overtime for the past three years, I don't know what I enjoy anymore. In trying to figure out Life After $EMPLOYER, I can't honestly say I have an answer to "What do you want to do when you grow up?" and that's the wrong place to be when you're this old. -

#sonTwo told me that because of their move to a different state, his wife's student financial aid / tuition numbers will change after the upcoming semester, because it goes under a different state financial aid agency. -

#sonTwo and I talked about Mike, Colby, #lazyNephew, #PS4 games, job stuff, the budget, moving, the Internet choices available.

What #PS4 game should I get? I want something that I can play, that #sonOne (age 40), #sonTwo ( age 30), #Daddy_A (age 29), and @mike would all enjoy. It'd be nice if @dog (Colby) also enjoyed it, since he's getting the same console in a few days. I’m buying five or six copies of the game, so cheaper is better.

Wonderful hourlong call with #sonOne. Today we discussed:
* Sega Genesis / Aladdin / modern clone consoles
* Nintendo Entertainment System / modern clone consoles
* YouTube channels and podcasts
* Building gaming PCs
* Family stuff ( #lazyNephew, #sonTwo, #GD1, #GS1, and the almost-member @mike )
* Job stuff
* Riding (bicycles and motorcycles)
Lots of pauses today, and the granddaughters were still asleep, so I did not get to say hi to them. I decided not to leave any #blue_pawprint s, so he won't know I'm replacing his #PS4 until it arrives Saturday. -

Both #sonOne and #sonTwo moved away from #Comcast in the past year. The older one is in #GoogleFiber territory, and is very pleased with it. The younger one is currently choosing between 3Mbps #CenturyLink DSL or a local microwave ISP (faster, but more expensive). -

I had a nice call with @mike last night. I also called #sonTwo, who was going to try to call back when he got a break, but never did. -

Going to have to check on wireless ISPs in #sonTwo's new town. They probably aren't close enough to a tower to get 50Mbps downloads, like $EMPLOYER's office got from RadioWire, but it's got to beat the 3Mbps that the local telco's DSL offers. -

@dog Not right now, because I am awaiting a phone call from #sonTwo. Later is fine, though.
