And this…

These are the kind of pictures I keep getting from Jonah who is currently on a 30 day excursion through Southern Africa. It’s day 10 and I’m missing him, but I’m so thankful he’s getting these once in a lifetime opportunities.

Vulnerable moment, but me and Laura recorded our first attempt at a podcast this week. We are still learning the technical aspects, so it’s a rough version. In episode 1, we discuss our anxieties as parents while Jonah is off in South Africa.

At a family birthday last night and someone unprompted said something stuff about the latest police shooting. I didn’t let it slide and things got heated. Not really sure the way to reconciliation or if I even want that given the things that were said.

@SakurasCardShop I was there, purchased one for $60. I kept mine, but I’d be lying if the temptation to walk up stairs and immediately turn $60 into like $400 wasn’t there. And I don’t judge anyone who did. It’s real money that would have offset the cost of my hotel for the weekend.

@PokemonAquarist @pokebeach My kids actually love those and getting a sitting cutie at every regional has become a tradition. I understand the move but moment of silence for those tables

@DeinoNuggetsTCG The weird one for me is when I list something on Facebook and someone contacts me saying they can take it in trade at 80%. Like you contacted me on my listing (to sell) to offer me 80% trade. The dynamic there seems off

@NotJustLikeYou Just playing all 8 games at your first major is a huge accomplishment! For my kid, it helped spark his desire to keep working and growing, and it seems maybe it might have done the same for yours.

@Yonepatchi Id be terrified if in a couple years Jonah had a chance to play on stream as an 11th grade master. One wrong *perceived* move and strangers just harassing him on the World Wide Web. A child.

[Kevin Timmons @Kctimmons]

@ProfRichieE That’s right! I forgot that’s when we met and you were so kind and helpful to us when we had no clue how any of this worked.

[Kevin Timmons @Kctimmons]

Orlando regional two years apart. Two years ago we were taking on our first regional and didn’t know what to expect. It’s crazy how he’s grown and learned in all aspects of life since then.

[Kevin Timmons @Kctimmons]

@Yonepatchi Thanks for trusting us to keep him safe and entertained for the day. And let me say, they are not ready 😂

[Kevin Timmons @Kctimmons]

@Yonepatchi In my next life I hope to come back as someone as cool as this guy.

[Kevin Timmons @Kctimmons]

@JoshuaLeeWarner @LynnOono We will be! We took some time off because Jonah was in his school musical this spring but we are making a family trip for Orlando.

[Kevin Timmons @Kctimmons]

@xDJChunkyMonkey @LyricOfWisdom Wait…where can me and Jonah get matching nasty merch.

[Kevin Timmons @Kctimmons]

Went 2-1 in day two which was good enough to sneak into top 32. It does ruin one of my favorite quirky Jonah stats in that he’s had 2 Top 8s but zero top 32s in his 2 years of playing 🤷🏼‍♂️😂. That puts him at 820 points for the year which has to be good enough right?

[Kevin Timmons @Kctimmons]

In his first regional since Las Vegas, Jonah was able to fight back from a 2-2 start to make day 2! I’m sad I couldn’t make this trip with him, but I know his Momma is loving getting to see him in action. Regardless of outcome tomorrow I’m so proud of him.

@LostBoxLover I laughed a literal out loud

@shenastyTCG @CoachDomTCG We have loved the summer cups. Less stuff on the schedule means we are looking for fun things to do.
