Good morning and happy Tuesday

How are we all doing today and what do we each have on our agendas for the day today?

Work stuff as always here. Thankfully things are slowing down after the major Nova release last week so that's good. Couple of meetings today from 12pm - 3pm EST.

After that, might give Gray Zone Warfare a try as the wife and I have been debating on picking it up.

@cliffwade Glad y'all got a slow down. Hope today goes well.

@cliffwade Phew! That's wild!! I do not get nearly 3500 emails even on a busy day. Different field, different email expectations I suppose.

@mdmrn@urusai.social avatar

Tune Tuesday's theme is "My Generation Music" aka music from around when you were born, so, let's tell a story cause...why not.

The year is 1983. Return of the Jedi and Monty Python's the Meaning of Life were in theaters.

In upstate NYS, that summer my parents gave birth to their first born, me - an aggressively geeky and white baby boy coming out looking like some kind of plucked chicken.

On that day, the Number 1 song in America was Flashdance: What a Feeling by Irene Cara. https://songwhip.com/irene-cara/flashdancewhat-a-feeling

What a song. What a year.

Good morning and happy Tuesday!

Tonight is supposed to be my twin 9 year olds' first softball game, but the weather has been so wet, I have a feeling it'll be cancelled. We shall see.

If it is, and it's not raining, I'll try to practice with them a bit tonight.

Hope you all have a great Tuesday!

Me watching The Circle on Netflix: I would be absolutely just terrible TV on a show like this. Just...so boring.

Also, I'd not be good at this.

Iโ€™ve neglected social media againโ€”oops!

April was busy, partly because of a big developmental edit.

Today, I start a fun copyeditโ€”a fantasy book for children! So I grab my favorite editing-related mug and eagerly join the young protagonist in a new, magical world.

Sofi Tuckker's new song is just ridiculous...

...And I am kind of obsessed with it.

Check out "Throw Some Ass" on your favorite music streaming service. https://songwhip.com/sofi-tukker/throw-some-ass

Letโ€™s play the Monday โ€“ I post a quote from a well-known movie. If you know where itโ€™s from, post another quote from the same movie. Weโ€™ll keep the game going as long as people know quotes from the film.

"Klaatu barada nikto!"

@DXMacGuffin This is one of two things...

So, I'm going with the sillier of options.

Good morning and happy Monday!

Last week was...super weird for me on a personal level. Highs and lows all over the place.

I am hoping for a week that is...less eventful. Then again, I've already got a busy day with work followed by a PTA meeting.

Hope you have a great start to your week.

I had an ICQ account back in the late 90s, but haven't been involved in it in a long time. Wondering if it's worth making a new ICQ account.

...Or if the old account even exists anymore...

@cthellis @Musicappreciat7 I mean, that's fair. I wasn't even sure if anyone used it much anymore or if it is worthwhile as an alternate chat software. :akkoShrug:

@aronow Hope you're doing okay. Sorry for the rough day. The only cat pics I have recently are from when I went to the zoo with my oldest (and 4 friends) yesterday for their birthday https://pixelfed.social/i/web/post/692450547649685430

But, they're kinda big cats here :Hehe:

Good morning and Happy Saturday! May the Fourth be With You this Star Wars Day.

Also, today my oldest turns 15 years old. 15 years ago, my wife was on her fourth week of hospitalized bed rest and I was training the person who would fill in for me on paternity leave. I got the call and rushed to the hospital. 10 weeks early, my oldest was born via an emergent C-section.

15 years later, here I am with this snarky, smart, creative, and empathetic kid. And I'm about to take them and 4 of their friends to the zoo.

Here's hoping the weather holds up okay!

So, I'm leveling up to Level 15 as a Dad today.

Skill wise, obviously I'm taking some ranks in Patience. I've got 4 kids with one teenager (and this summer a second one), so of course need more of that. Also, a few ranks in Dad Joke, since I take that every level.

I took Dual Wielding years ago, but I do get another feat this level. I think I may take the Truth Seeker feat, to make sure I get a bonus on my rolls at figuring out what my kids are doing and/or plotting.

"Well-behaved women seldom make history."
-Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, 1976

Yes, that's who originated the quote.

Respect for PhD historian and author, Laurel Ulrich, who said this as a passing remark originally in a study from 1976 about Puritan funeral services.
