Living in my hood since 1986. Worked on the house next door as a carpenter in 1979-80. So should know the street names. If you gave me a map of the area I could probably correctly right down maybe four street names, five tops. For a guy that can talk a lot I'm still mostly internally a "visual" versus "verbal" in the way my brain organizes stuff.
Niece was driving through on way back from Iowa to Montana. Did a drive by parking lot meetup so I could give the kids some Easter chocolate. Thought you all would be amused at my choice of locales, Total Wine. Well, it is just off 494/393 and allowed them to skirt the traffic of trying to come to my digs during rush hour.
That place is my wife's family's Mecca, always have to stop in whenever they're remotely in the area.
We were the only peeps there not stocking up on booze. Have been there though, obviously, and used their online buying and curbside pickup. Easy-peasy and you don't have to wonder around in that giant warehouse looking for what you want.
I'm with you, really not liking the work thingy today. Slowly and methodically killing time and picking away at the project. Right now I may be the only source of income for the boss on the side gig. Dude has no savings, his business knowledge is what he learned in first grade it appears.
Need to run to the store at lunch and get buns and some peppers. Taco burgers tonight.
I read somewhere that the people in Europe drank a lot of beer, because the process of making it purified the water -- which was otherwise undrinkable.

So, we're skipping a math review to try something more advanced today.
We thought we'd play around with a Khan Academy thing, just for fun. The 2nd grade preview is fun for her, but she's making it look really easy.
Also, we're messing around because she doesn't even watch the class videos anymore. It's too easy and she's bored. She listens for a minute, hits pause, then does the worksheet. She looks interested today.
Now, make the story longer: we had a teacher attempt to open up beginning of the year 2nd grade videos for Z. I guess that's not allowed because she might run out of things to do this year or next year.
But, well, that's gonna happen anyway. Also, she's getting cocky.

The Germans would say that bread may be the staff of life, but beer is life itself.
I should have started counting a long time ago: how many ways can people "explain" why they think CSP should be fired? Ugh. You aren't convincing anyone and you're saying nothing new. Just stop.
Decided to make beef stew. Slow walked the prep listening listening to smooth jazz and 2nd guessing the recipe five times so am a little off on serving time. Late supper or maybe just tomorrows supper.
Guess I am on "vacation time" even though not in Mexico this season.

And you know me - I’ll look at every one of Bart’s lines to see if there’s a variation.
