Happy Father’s Day to the dads. Makes me think of fishing and camping with my dad on the Wolf River, WI. #fb
Pool. Nap. Roast chicken and corn. Custer Street Fair. This is summer. #fb

Caught a foul ball at the Cubs game, with @stacyk off to get food, and both kids next to me. High fives all around. #multitasking #fb
Imagining life if everybody expressed their unhappiness the way 2 1/2 year olds do. #fb

If you’re wondering whether to buy the version of Trouble with R2D2 sounds or the version w/o R2D2 sounds, definitely go without. #fb
Gardening is like coding. Easier without kids “helping”, hard to keep correct posture, & there’s always a weed you missed. #fb
Holy Starlin Castro

Happy BDay #5, C! #fb
Acquired: C’s first baseball glove and a net for the reclaimed ping pong table. Veg garden bed cleared (mostly). Hockey time. #fb
C telling A about the history of the universe: “Once upon a time, there was nothing. Not even dinosaurs.” #fb
Scored a free ping pong table out of the alley. Perfect for the patio under the halogens. #fb

What’s the difference between yak shaving and being down the rabbit hole? I have no idea anymore.
We’re on day 3 of repeated egg hiding and hunting. I need to find a way to use this to my advantage. #fb
I’ve never seen hail like this.

I’ve watched more C-SPAN today than the last 5 years combined.
Did anyone _not_ have Kansas in their final 4? (Assuming you have a final 4). Wow. Brutal.

Soulcaster on XBL Indie Games is a $3 gem. Retro tower defense mashed with Gauntlet. Only downside is passwords for save games.
The Instapaper bookmarklet picks up on the current item in G Reader. That’s usability.
Dr. Horrible was totally worth a repeat viewing on Netflix streaming. The world needs more densely concentrated entertainment like that.
