Hey, Boom Boom.

Yeah, Max and Colton are amazing kids. Maybe you could spruce up the pond with a few flowers? I recently bought some lotus seeds, aquatic soil, and aquatic fertilizer. The bowl I was planning to plant the seeds in, won't be shipped until a few weeks later. So, I won't be able to plant until July, sadly.

Hey, Nicky! How are things with you?

Here's how the conversation went during pickup at school. Me: What did you learn in school today? Max: Obviously not enough. I have to go back tomorrow.

As a guest, Drewdo. As a guest. You need to rest up before you take the Ring to Mount Doom.

In what dimension of the Multiverse did 30 become greater than 43? 👀

Glad that you're back safe!

Thanks, Drew. Happy father's day to your dad, as well!

Thanks, Spikey. Max and Colton made brunch today. Strawberry-cream cheese stuffed French toast, homemade sausage patties, and some mixed fruit salad. 😋 Oh, and there were no dishes to be washed, either. Max took the lead and cleaned everything up.

Not to mention the goalposts in his arguments with Spikey. 👀

@dughlas @Headstall Happy Father's Day, guys!

Ah, yes. I think I do recall seeing a few episodes of that show, back in the day. It had a rather short run.

This is the Takachiho Amaterasu Railway, a popular sightseeing tourist attraction in Japan. The train runs on biodiesel made from leftover oil used in ramen production.

@clochette I just love watching P'Spikey and N'Drew. The slow burn is what makes the whole series worthwhile.

Oh, indeed he is. He just likes to be subtle about it.

And Dugh and Mum. 😂

@Drew Espinosa Hey, Boom Boom! How's the family?

That's actually where "going commando" originated as a term: with Scottish military servicemen who didn't wear underdrawers beneath their kilt.

My first "real" crush was my best friend in 5th and 6th grade. Strangely enough, we have the same first name. Aside from that, we're basically opposites. He likes/liked sports, he has really skinny ribs that you can count, has blond hair, blue eyes, likes to laugh...he's really chatty with other people, etc. I prefer books and movies, I have dark hair and green eyes, a heavyset frame, I'm usually pretty serious, and I prefer my own company, mostly. One thing that I learned early on, is that he's very ticklish. Like, to an absurd degree. I swear, I never set out to tickle him on purpose. But, one day, after inviting him over to my house, I tried to give him a little shoulder rub because his muscles were sore from gym class. It left him gasping and convulsing on my bed like he was being tortured! Hahaha! Oops. If we'd been older and wiser, it could have led to some amazing foreplay, and, although we did experiment a little, we went to different schools in the 7th grade. He lived on the opposite side of town, and being dependent on my helicopter parents for transport meant that house visits were very rare. The relationship pretty much died around the start of 8th grade, but I still remember the time we spent together fondly.

If a guy this pretty had been at my high school, I probably would have fallen in love at first sight.

I made Elotes-style soup for dinner, with corn muffins on the side. https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/elote-style-corn-soup

Wrong kind of lettuce. 🤣
