That wonderful feeling when you find out your MIL still has the kids out at a pumpkin patch at 2PM so you are going to get to go home to a two year old that hasn't slept since 6:30AM. Then she tries to smooth it over with cute pictures of them.

Maybe they'll sleep early?

Sun was out all day. :eek::eek::eek:

66 degrees and dew point of 37 and not windy. WTF is going on here. Got a ride in and made my 1000 miles goal for the year. Modest by real bikers standards but I am an old man so am relatively happy with that.

Saw two Riley dogs and some purdy fall color.

Well for what it's worth I worked till 5:30 and snuck in a 20 minute ride before checking into the hotel.

Just had what I believe to be a scam door to door sales thing where they were trying to say they were a new house cleaning company from Ames. Nearly went off on her for using Ames in her scam. Iowa City sure but not Ames!

my mom and the other grandma watched niece a few weeks ago (so niece was like, 2 months old.......0 weeks adjusted??) and my mom handed off at 6pm, found out later the other grandma didn't let the baby go to sleep until 11pm. And she'd been up a little bit with my mom. I'm like holy ****, 5 hours at that age? I would have killed that woman. For those who don't recall the minute details of newborn fog......their wake window at that age is 90 minutes.

'didn't let the baby sleep'.......

This frightens me.

Not exactly sure.
New State Farm commercial with Mahomes having an agent. Made me think that nearly all the State Farm agents i know are dryer than dry. Except one that I went to HS with, and it might just be because of that. Also one in the twin cities that is just crazy, and not the good kind crazy.

The concert was great. Joan Jett can still really rock it at age 61. Heart was excellent also, although Ann Wilson struggled some with the high notes - she had pretty much run out of gas by the end. Their first encore was a note for note rendition of the Led Zeppelin classic Stairway to Heaven.....I'm not normally a fan of anyone doing that song other than the Zep, but they aced it. Second encore was (How Do I Get You)Alone, and they ended the night with, of course, Barracuda. Earlier they started singing Heard It Through the Grapevine, and morphed it into Straight On, which was cool.

Joan Jett did a couple fun things, too - their rendition of the Mary Tyler Moore theme, and a rockin' version of the old Tommy James classic Crimson and Clover. I think Joan had a cold or something - she kept turning around to blow her nose - but you'd never guess it the way she sang and performed. The audience loved her. I daresay the energy level was higher for her than for Heart.

Jett’s music has more driving beat. Although listening to a 65ish year old women asking “do you wanna touch me there” isn’t something I’d normally care to hear.

Taking the vixen to the Well tonight to hear Ann and Nancy Wilson, AKA Heart. When I last heard them on the tube Ann was still belting 'em out. Crazy on You is still one of my all-time favorites.

Maybe I should do an actual review, start a thread with @MeanDean, @cyclones500, and @CycloneRulzzz's approval(s).
Saw them in Milwaukee in '78. Cheap Trick, Journey, Heart and Terrible Ted Nugent. Pretty awesome concert.

So, we made some amazing progress for our anxious girl at school last week. She was joining the group, eating, talking to other kids, getting herself ready for school, and running to the building. All it took was buying into an idea that a Batman watch would be a good reminder and encouragement.

Then her teacher mentioned something very bluntly that we still could work out, and that something is a very fearful and anxious reaction.

So, Z didn't really want to get ready, walked slowly and dutifully with me to the building, and headed off resigned to her fate. It's pretty heartbreaking that we can't find a teacher with basic people skills yet, but we can't.
