I'll take "Excercises in Redundancy" for $200, Ken.

Aaawwww! This family just gets cuter and cuter with each new song!

Sorry, buddy. I couldn't resist.

Hey, Dan! *waves*

Yep, things are good here. Lately, I've been having to go into Max's room to retrieve my phone, because he often borrows it before bed time and then falls asleep with it. I wondered what he could be doing with it each night, so I checked the (deep) browser history. Nothing appeared amiss, so I then checked the call log. A call made each night to the same number, which belongs to Michael's family, for over an hour. I barely use the phone myself, except for arranging schedules and appointments, so the service bill can withstand a little stretching. When I asked Max why he keeps calling Michael each night, Max admitted that Michael sometimes struggles with night terrors. And so, Max has taken to calling him before bed, and they talk over the phone until Michael falls asleep. Apparently, it helps Michael calm whatever part of his brain that triggers the night terrors, so he can sleep easy. Honestly, I don't know what I did to deserve such a compassionate kid.

Yum! I love mixed grain bread for snacking, but homemade white bread is great for sandwiches. 😋

I don't know why it wouldn't make its way over to you guys....eventually. Oh, and here's the trailer for Wonder, if you haven't seen it. I laughed so hard at the last line Jacob Tremblay spoke. 😂

Doing well, thanks. Just finished reading a brilliant book.

Because it makes your claim of bullying look weak.

I just finished reading "White Bird" by R.J. Palacio. In the new movie adaptation, Bryce Gheisar reprises his role as Julian, who was responsible for bullying Auggie in the prequel story, "Wonder".

Hey, Terry!

Do you blame Spike if you get an itch on your nose, too?

Speaking of AI, those "artworks" that are generated from photos? Instead of referring to photos of actual people, the AI software has started using artwork generated by other AI programs as a reference point. Yep, they're now inbreeding.

Ugh. Revolting! So sorry, Tink.

Hey, Drew! Any Yayo updates to share?

Hey, Terry!

Uncle Mickey does love his pranks and hijinx, but he would never put Max in danger.

Doing well, thanks. We got Max's school supplies yesterday, and he said he's looking forward to going back. He'll be starting Fifth grade in September.

Hey, Clo! How are things?

Nashville hot chicken and waffles for us tonight. I'm preparing the chicken, and Max is in charge of the waffles.

Teasing Drew feels like pointing a laser pen at a cat. The cat tries to pounce on the red dot, to no effect; Drew's reactions are just as effective, and equally amusing.

Noooo, you looooooove us!
