We got married JUST after Ted died and the cryo happened. One of our potential reception sites offered us an ice sculpture. @wing2j.bsky.social asked if they could do a bust of Ted Williams, and I thought my dad was going to piss himself.

Who could have predicted that Republicans with guns might be a little jumpy this week?

There have apparently been two incidents involving armed men (including a fatal shooting by police) today, right outside the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

This is surprisingly relaxing.

It is MIND BOGGLING to me that someone took a shot at a (convicted felon, odious) former President and NO ONE wants to talk gun control. I do not understand these people.

We are, too! Fortunately the rain seems to be stopping so we should get more info from the power company soon. Maybe.

Oh, jeez. We had no internet all day yesterday. That does not sound ideal. My sympathies.

Also we have no power, so I am listening to the ASG on the radio and it is not bad!

I stopped dead in the middle of the Phillies store on Sunday because I was so stunned by the fug.

It’s just so embarrassing. I have third-hand cringe. What a tool bag.

On the upside, I don’t have to worry about my tomatoes getting enough water. Downside, I think I just saw a house fly by.

Oh, damn, I want to briefly high-five Kevin McCarthy and then scour my hands.

meanwhile with Gaetz chirping at him McCarthy just casually said "he's got an ethics complaint about sleeping with a 17 year old." imagine getting dunked on that hard by *Kevin McCarthy* x.com/ArtCandee/st...

That poor, poor woman. I hope someone is doing cleanup for her.

I should point out that the 5YO told me very matter-of-factly at the game on Sunday that we should all go to the Home Run Derby when it’s in Philadelphia. So now Cool Aunt has to make that happen.

The 360 fashion cam thing they have going at the plate is both neat and making me slightly dizzy.

I have consulted my mother, who is absolutely staying up to watch her boyfriend Alec Bohm, and the kids will be watching a recap of the Derby with breakfast tomorrow. I love this so much.
