I'm pretty certain I've never had COVID. I participated in an antibody blood test before vaccines were available, and I didn't have antibodies. (15) got it at the end of 2021, but we isolated him in his room for 5 days and tested ourselves regularly. I get the vaccines as soon as I can. I wear N95 masks in public and wear tight-fitting N95s on planes (I don't eat or drink on planes).

I go to restaurants, but I try to sit outside if I can.

@steve I was discussing this meme with (15), and he thought Duff Dry was non-alcoholic Duff (bc "dry county" = non-alcoholic)

Tonight (14) MCed a small trivia game for 's Dad's 75th (I beat him in the Beatles category!), and he uncharacteristically stumbled over word while reading from the cue cards.

Katie has the best theory: he almost never reads hand-written content. He does all his work on a Chromebook, and he communicates with his friends over discord and with us over Signal.

(14): Grandma always addresses text messages to me. It's a great hack bc I can't read the text on the lock screen, so I have to open the message, and then she gets the read receipt.

Me: Grandma isn't that savvy. She's treating texts like letters. She used to end every text with "Love, Mom".

We took (14) and (11) to see TMNT, and they both enjoyed it. I very much enjoyed it. It wasn't as overtly meaningful as the Barbie movie, but being an outsider and wanting acceptance is a pretty good theme.

Animation, acting, and gaga were all great!

(14) has a Pixel 5 that loses security updates in September. I ordered a Pixel 7 Pro, and I'm giving him my 7a. I got a 15% Google Local Guide discount from the Google store, but I didn't realize Google's $200 back-to-school discount didn't stack with that, and I initially paid 7% more for the Pixel 7 Pro. Google did issue a warning that only one promo applied at a time, but they should really issue a much bigger warning that I was paying more money for no good reason.

(Shows (14) Being John Malkovich and Everything Everywhere All at Once)
Me: Were those too weird for you?
Ben: No. They were fine. Pee-Wee's Playhouse was too weird for me. I don't understand how you could watch that.

'Death threats forced Irish pop singer O’Connor to call off a peace in in the summer of 1997. At the time, a young man named -Gvir took credit for the campaign against her.

Today, he is ’s national '

This old SMBC comic is exactly how I felt when my kids were born.

(14) is still willing to listen to me explain things and (11) is done with it, but he's still happy to learn from MatPat (of The Theorists)
