He just wants to hog all of the fun for himself.
Swimming pools, paddle boats on a lake, inflatables, a rock slide, pizza, mountains, rattle snakes, bears, a shirtless missionary and a late-night movie -- oh my.

Neil deGrasse Tyson: The Lord's Most Powerful Evangelist
Meme of the day, courtesy of atheism: Neil deGrasse Tyson is secretly the Lord's most powerful evangelist, bringing people to Christ by making atheism so unbearably cringe you start begging for literally anything else. Also inside: week four of the diet and a Weird Al dance party.
Squished Fingers and X Ads
J's squished finger turned out to be a fractured fingertip: x-rays, amoxicillin, an orthopedic referral, and, since we are cash pay, plenty of budgetary fun. Meanwhile X Ads remains the kind of system that lets you build a dozen ads, hit save, and watch them vanish without an error.
Snobby Connoisseur of Software

The Iliad & Odyssey of Homer

Programming & Parenting
Programming and parenting coexist beautifully for the few months a baby can't squirm, roll, or crawl. After that it's nearly impossible to get work done, though it stays fun to try. He rolled over at just shy of four months, noted for future reference.
Treasures Everywhere
There are treasures everywhere, to a degree I never would have believed before having kids. They find their way indoors. Unexpectedly stepping on a random rock in the living room is the best.
