@Dan_UA It's ok, the mayor cleaned every street once and displaced the Kensington encampments back into the neighborhoods without providing an actual plan, and raised the PPD budget, so we don't need actual libraries or services <sarcasm>
@courtneyellis "Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.
And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.
And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance"
@courtneyellis Particularly enjoy from Gibran "If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life.
For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one" and
@AmericanAir@PHLAirport what in the world are you doing!!!! Flight from Phoenix waiting here for bags for 45 minutes already, then a mostly garbled announcement that it will be at least 10 more minutes! What in the world are you doing? Flights that arrived later are getting bags
First day of fourth grade - last day of fourth grade
She grew so much in her love of math and science this year, continued an amazing reading journey, and began to appreciate writing a little more. She loves school, *thrived* with her teacher, and was sad to see this year end.
Dreams really do come true. Thrilled to share P3’s next project: #TheNinthWoman - a collaboration with one of my favorite bands @DeltaRae!! Where are all my Delta Rae x Musical Theatre crossover fans at?
N, eating her ice cream: "my ice cream is radiating cold."
D: "thermodynamically speaking, it's not, but so you know what it's doing?"
N: "heating up which means it's removing heat from the air through energy transfer."
Both of us: 😲🤯
A reminder that the 12 Days of Christmas started yesterday. The celebration, worship, feasting, and rest go on for another eleven still.
Make merry. Take naps. Do a puzzle. Eat leftovers. Go for a walk. Drink it in. No rush.
Takes the pressure off a bit, doesn’t it?
@Anna24601_ Inertia has kept me here... if the past is any indication I'll wait until the next thing of two after those (did Xanga, skipped MySpace, did Facebook and eventually Twitter, never did IG or Snapchat, watch TikToks but don't post)...
@courtneyellis Naomi really enjoys Wow in the World (we often listen on road trips) there are some other podcasts by the same studio that she likes ok too.
@mattmikalatos I worked Sunday afternoons one summer at a Chili's in a small city where my dad was a pastor. All my coworkers hated working then because of the tiny tipping and religious tracts but I would try to get tables from my dad's church and I think they were embarrassed to not tip me 🤣
Today, Naomi finishes third grade. She grew in her love of reading (& skills), started violin, continued choir, did a state report on Michigan, & made new friends. We're so proud of all she has accomplished & love her so much before all of it.
First/last day of third grade. 😊
This is absolutely the most asinine decision to be made given all the information. Not only is it idiotic, it's incorrect @PHLschools. When the AQI was 400+ last night at this time & it is now 151 with it continuing to clear tomorrow, I would call that a significant improvement.
Great memories going to SDSU Basketball games with my dad (an alum) as a kid (90s), they were horrible but it was always fun to go. My aunt & uncle got us "coach for a day" one year for Xmas where we got to hang out in the locker room and sit courtside. Pumped for the Final Four!
