#sonTwo gave me a t-shirt depicting the current major project at his workplace. (No photo because it would reveal too much info.)
-
#sonOne only watches when he can be there in person, so I know he's not watching. We used to go to Dodger Stadium 3-4 times per year.
By the time #sonTwo was old enough to do the trip, I was going less frequently, but we went to lots of minor league games.
I don't recall taking #Daddy_A to a major league game, but we went to a few minor league games.
-
#sonTwo and I are tracking tonight's MLB NLCS #baseball game. Currently #Atlanta #Braves 3, #Los_Angeles #Dodgers 4; top/8th.
-
It occurs to me that I never did go into the back yard and meet #sonTwo’s chickens or see the #granddoggy’s escape tunnel construction project.
Yep. I have to return to #MO soon.
-
"I Am The Walrus" has always been one of the Beatles' songs that I disliked. In fact, about 20 years ago, a co-worker wanted to give #sonTwo a cassette tape of Beatles songs. I said that as long as that song was not on the tape, it was okay.
(I didn't want to have him singing the song around the house.)
-
Going to wear my #Dodgers shirt today. Since #sonTwo only works one job today, he and I and #GS3 are going to take photos all wearing Dodger Blue.
-
#sonTwo has asked me to return later this year and again in the first quarter of next year. I'll try to come some time between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
I'll need to rent a car that time, so I can zip up to see #sonOne and possibly #Daddy_A also.
-
@mangeurdenuage No, I'm visiting my son ( #sonTwo ) and his family. I'm really enjoying this grandchild ( #GS3 ) and hoping to move near enough to see him frequently.
-
So it looks like the science boat (that took #sonTwo and #Daddy_A on their 8th grade field trip) is no more. Imagine being on a three-day boat trip with ~200 middle school kids.
No, actually, it was a surprisingly good time. Except on the bus ride back home when I asked one kid why he was called $NICKNAME and he started crying. But he soon got back in control and was fine.
-
#Daddy_A bought some Fortnite in-game theme pack for #sonTwo. I’m glad to see them relating well. Neither of the younger two is especially close with the oldest (10-12 years older), though I am working to bridge that gap.
-
Saw a big 48 pack of the brand of TP my mom likes, so I bought it.
Also got Duplo blocks as my gift to #GS3 (like giant Lego blocks for younger children). #sonTwo and his wife are excited about my visit to #MO. They've already made plans for me to return in a couple of months.
Let #sonOne know I'll be at his brother's place, three hours away. Now we'll have to schedule a day for him.
#Daddy_A lives six hours away, and spent too much visiting #SoCal, so he's not coming to visit while I'm there.
-
So the weirdest thing is happening. #Daddy_A, who has never been one to express an opinion about something that someone else might feel strongly about, is suddenly sending me messages about politics and the environment.
So far, it isn't annoying, even though I generally avoid those topics to begin with. (With #sonTwo, we can generally discuss a topic and even advocate for points of view that neither of us hold, without getting angry, but most people cannot discuss such topics peaceably, except with people who believe exactly the same as they do.)
Because he's always been so reluctant to speak up, I try to make sure to never appear to endorse any POV when communicating with him. He's still the conflict-avoiding twelve year old, except he's almost twenty years older.

> > #sonTwo's two jobs pay just about as much as her one job was paying.
> Good ending then.
Not yet. He was already working two jobs and she was working one, so they've lost half their income.
-
@mangeurdenuage There could be some initial physical cause, but the stress that you and your family members have been under the past year or more could cause physical damage.
My middle son's wife was told by her doctor to quit her job if she wants to live. The doctor said the stress of that job was causing her body to attack itself. So now they have the stress of trying to survive on half the income. ( #sonTwo's two jobs pay just about as much as her one job was paying. )
-
#Daddy_A asked me to pick up #Fortnite and join him, #sonTwo, and #Little_Boy_A in a game. So I've asked @amic@nulled.red and @corbin what I need to do.
It's honestly not likely that I'll be available at the exact time they play, but I'll make an effort to join them.
-
The trip isn't for sure yet, but I'm working on it. I've given #sonTwo a couple of hints, but I have not directly stated that I'm visiting.
As I said before, I looked at getting a rental car (two days' drive time each direction, assuming I drive at least 12 hours per day), taking Greyhound, taking Amtrak. I think the single travel day in each direction will swing my decision. (If I had indefinite time to travel, I'd be greatly in favor of driving; since I don't have that, I'm opting for arriving in one day, and not exhausted.
I have to find a book and a toy to bring with me, so I can present them to #GS3.
-
I was talking with #sonTwo and mentioned not knowing where the right shoulder pain came from. He didn’t miss a beat:
“Dad, it’s just because you’re old. Get used to it.”

Chica was a good dog. She was 15 or 16, and the last dog that any of my siblings had. This was my youngest sister’s dog. I remember when they moved to a tiny apartment and brought Chica to live with us and our (at the time) dogs and cats. At the time, they hadn’t had any cats, so we were concerned that Chica would chase / attack the cats. After a little while, she made it clear that she understood that the cats were family members.
The highlight of Chica’s time with us was when my niece #LG would visit. She made sure everyone knew that was her little girl.
Chica kept trying to “go home”, so she’d escape from the backyard and then wander the neighborhood. Home was fifty miles away, so we always found her and returned her before them. (The experience fence-building turned out to be valuable for #sonTwo, who built a fence around his own backyard this year.)
After they bought a house, Chica moved back home. She wandered in the front or back, but never tried to leave. And now that she was accepting of cats, they got two cats, one of which became her best friend.
#RIP Chica.

#sonTwo just sent me a pic of the ultrasound. There’s another grandchild on the way.

As an example, #sonTwo went to an art school to study photography. They instilled it in his head that photographers would all starve if it wasn’t for copyrights.
I know there must be other, not dependent on copyright, ways for photographers to make a living with their cameras, but I can’t come up with something that would convince most photogs. I can’t even convince the 32 year old that grew up in my home.
