That’s a lot of sauce, and it smells gooooood.

Yeah, I totally won.

We were at a game store today and saw a version of Monopoly that was in Klingon. I made a couple of goofy Klingon jokes and neither kid got them. They have watched tons of Star Trek. All of Voyager, and lots of Next Generation. Yet they didn’t get a Klingon joke?

I’ll correct that!

We have just started the first episode of The Next Generation. I’ll get them up to speed.

Today is a good day to get all Trekkie.

Saturdays in the Spring are made of busy. Baseball and softball at the same time. Being in two places at once is fun.

When I picked up my step son at baseball practice tonight he was miserable. He was on the verge of tears, and he was pretty unsuccessful at holding them back.

He had had a very bad day. Nothing terrible happened, but a whole bunch of little, petty things had and they all just piled on and made him feel awful.

Tonight at bed time I told him the story of the tiny little baby mouse we found in our bath tub once. It sat in the middle of the tub jumping straight up and down. The vertical leap was probably 1/16th of an inch, but it kept on trying to jump out of the tub like that. It was one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen.

My step son laughed and laughed.

I gave him a hug and told him that I loved him and wished him sweet dreams. Then he said to me, “thanks for cheering me up.”

That made me so happy that I think I might explode. That little man made my century.

It’s Friday.  I’ve got nothing on my mind but work right now.  Strange, huh?

Three weeks ago today the team I work with had five people.   A supervisor and four programmers.  By the end of that day we were down to three programmers.  One week ago today we dropped down to two programmers.  On Wednesday we dropped to one.  From five people to two people with something like 130 current customers using our application at the code releases we support.

File under: Uh Oh.

The Red Sox are two games over .500!  26 wins and 24 losses!  Break out the duck boats, it’s parade time!  They officially have the highest winning percentage of any last place team in the majors!  In all seriousness, Baltimore has lost five in a row and we’ve closed the gap in the AL East to 2.5 games.  That’s right, only 2.5 games in the standings separate first place from last place.  Yes, Virginia, this is a super tough division.

The Los Angeles Kings took game one of the Stanley Cup finals in overtime last night.  I tried watching the game, I really did.  I just had 10000000000000000 other things going on and was not able to pay attention for more than a minute or two at a time.  Eventually I gave up on the television and switched to radio.  The NHL iOS app lost it’s audio stream to the Kings radio broadcast as the third intermission was starting.  I decided to put on some music rather than listen to the inane analysis and L.A. commercials.  When I switched back to the game it was over.  Urgh.

Go Kings!
Go Red Sox!

Today is Jen and my third wedding anniversary.  Three years ago today was the best day ever.  Really.  It was the best day ever.  Each day since has been great too, and in many ways each day has been better than the one before, but three years ago today was just an incredible day.
