Poetic Justice

Racist, murderous pig Derek Chauvin was stabbed 22 times in prison. On Black Friday. Fucking perfect! The hero of our story says the attack “was symbolic with the Black Lives Matter movement and the ‘Black Hand’ symbol associated with the Mexican Mafia criminal organizations.” Give him a Medal of Valor.

Legion of Doom

Mason has been benched since we came back from Myrtle Beach by his awesome Legion coach. He’s done that same bullshit all 3 years Mason has played Legion ball. Well, in a marathon game this afternoon that same coach ran out of pitchers and had to put Mason on the mound. Now, Mason ain’t no pitcher, but he pitched a three inning no-hitter, with 3 K’s and helped the team win to stay undefeated in the Regionals Tournament....

Synced Shell History

So a few months ago I saws this cool little thingy to sync your shell history across all your machines. It’s called Atuin. At first, I was like, “Oh, that’s cool. I’ll check it out.” And then I didn’t. Forgotten, sequestered in the realm of cool-shit-I-saw-once-and-promptly-forgot-about. Then it popped up on Hacker News and I remembered it and was like, “Oh yeah! I should try that again.” And then I didn’t....

Promotions

Almost six years ago I started a new job. A maintenance tech with zero experience. I was resurfacing the factory floor and learning the scary machines. Today I got the call from my boss offering me the Mezzanine Maintenance Manager position. I’ve basically coveted that job since I started. Watching Andy do it, I was convinced I could be that guy. And now I am that guy. It hasn’t sunk in yet, I don’t think....

Jameson Starts Sports

I took the week off for Susie’s surgery and I got to watch 2 events. The first was his swim evaluation....

JV Baseball

The JV team had a tough one Tuesday. They played a better team and had a nice 6 run lead heading into the 6th inning. The “coach” made a pitching change and put Kam in, who promptly let 5 runs score in the bottom of the sixth. Instead of putting in a closer he put Kam back on the mound and they score 2 in the bottom of the 7th to win....

Surgery Update

It’s been 3 days since the surgery and things are progressing very well. The incisions are healing, she’s getting her strength back and today we went for a walk. Her brain still goes too fast and she thingks she should be 100% physically by now, but I had to reassure her tonight that she’s doing great.

Surgery Day

Susie had her surgery today. Evrything went amazingly well. We were the first “case” so we had to check in at 6. They wheeled ger out at 7:30, the Surgeon called me at 8:22 to report a perfectly successful procedure, and she was back in the room by 10. She was sleepy and didn’t remember much from the time they brought her back until the time we left, which was around noon....
