They escaped by managing their emotions together. 📷
That time we escaped to Iowa… and loved it! 📷
Our son’s morning hurdle - a double Freunectomy. He was pretty nervous but it went fine. He is kind of excited because he’ll miss his first day of school in a couple of years. 📷
I was seeing double when the stickers arrived.

Our discussion with the kids tonight: If the choices are Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump who are you going to vote for and why?
Very interesting discussion ensues.

Progress on my long term effort to lose weight and improve my health
Time for my Skywarn training update. The season will start soon. ⛈
For some reason I always think this building has scales on the outside.
Best part of my birthday so far: our 15 year old daughter coming downstairs before getting ready for school to give me a big hug with an equally big smile. Worst part of the day having my car refuse to start forcing a rushed visit to the dealer. Aggravating but all-in-all it is still a good day.
There is a lot of outdoor open space at the district’s new STEAM center. It feels very peaceful - until a bunch of high schoolers show up 😉
Who could ever oppose Redemption? 📷 🥃
If you look carefully at the left photo you’ll notice a snake curled and coming down the tree trunk. I’ve highlighted the path in the right photo. I thought this rather cool because it isn’t a typical vine. I’m not really sure how this came to be. 🐍 📷
Per my smart scale I have been losing weight every month since April 2019. I’m down 14 pounds (from 160 to 146) or about 9%. It’s not dramatic but it feels very sustainable which is best. I hadn’t realized until today how steady my progress has been. So hooray for me. 🏆
I don’t think I’ve come across anyone who has quit Twitter for any length of time, gone back to try it again, and stayed. They always leave a second time with an even stronger vow not to return.
Not much rest today, up before dawn.
✅ I repaired our front porch light which involved gymnastics to avoid many needle-like sticks by the prickly shrub underneath
✅ I ran a coax for my antenna thru the 1st floor in a “not ugly” way. Now to get it to the 2nd floor and attic

Two weeks after passing my Technician level amateur radio exam I passed the next level (General). I’m a bit burned out on studying and don’t plan on taking the Amateur Extra test.
Next up: is getting coax run from my attic to my office as unobtrusively as possible.
The sidewalk next to our house sunk quite a bit. I was afraid someone would trip, lose their balance, and fall so I called the city to have it repaired. In our town the homeowner pays half the cost and the city pays the rest and arranges the repair.
Thanks @macgenie and @manton! Now I have to stress over exactly which device(s) will be honored with the presence.
Dino is not at all happy about the lack of warmth today. 📷 🦖
A few years ago I took my executive team to the iFly across the bay from our Cupertino office for an indoor skydiving event. Not as team building but just to have fun together. It was a huge success. Today our 11 year old son got to go with the other gifted kids to our local iFly. Has to be the coolest thing the school district has ever done.
We’ve had cloudy days and rain for days on end. It’s the 3rd rainiest start to a year ever. I’m really missing watching the sun rise. ☀️ 📷
I really like the way Gluon handles inline images. On my iPad Pro they’re shown larger than in the M.b app and Icro and look lovely! @vincent
My favorite iPad Pro attachment ⌨️ 📷
It’s ugly but oh so functional and light.
