It was a Monday evening when I discovered an extremely alarming house lurking next to the grassy sports fields at a local church.

If you’re trying to make some fun plans for Friday, I can’t tell you what you should do, but I can help you rule out one option.

It turns out the books are, at their core, escapist literature for parents.

Things did not go well for me at the old gastroenterology unit this week…

Time to get weird about back to school season yet again…

Our 4-year-old neighbor started preschool today. He came over to play this afternoon, and when he was leaving I said, Have fun at school tomorrow!
He said, I already went.
I said, Yeah, but you have to go every day, and he was like, WHAT?!?
Poor guy thought he was done with that nonsense.
Come for the pool... stay for the sadness!
My latest story has everything you could ask for...

Walked into the room and my 9-year-old was standing there holding a Magic 8-Ball and saying, “who is my favorite parent?”
Not wanting to waste a single minute of the precious vacation time, Mr. Leonard woke his children up at 5 a.m. for an early breakfast and some light crafts.

Has Dad seemed a little off lately? Not totally himself? Has he seemed exhausted, moody, and irritable?

I asked my 9-year-old if she wanted any superhero stuff to wear for theme day at her camp tomorrow and she said, “no, I’m a superhero so I’m going as myself.”
I fully support this level of confidence/laziness.
Driving down I-95 about 8 hours into a solo drive today when I saw a billboard that said “SEE A 7’ GATOR, CLEAN RESTROOMS”
Teared up a little because it felt so good to be home.
Summer is here again… for better or worse

My daughter is currently watching Lizzie McGuire which is a show that is… 23 years old?
This is the equivalent of me at her age in 1989 watching The Andy Griffith Show, and well… you know what… that’s exactly what I did.
Carry on, everyone. All is well.
Photo of a computer screen showing a Google search for “Andrew Knott Duck” and the accompanying AI overview explains that Andrew Knott is known for winning a giant duck and it has become a main feature of his online persona.
Mission accomplished
The funniest thing in my life is that while I’m at peak freak out trying to get the kids ready for school in the morning my watch buzzes and says “Mindfulness: take a moment before you start your day.”
Impeccable comedic timing. Congrats to the robots.
(living in a country where the most successful people are obscenely rich and shameless perverts and psychopaths) Time to teach my children to be honest and study hard in school
Was looking through my 8-year-old’s school papers and she had 2 A’s on tests so I said “you’re back!” She immediately said with zero emotion “I am back.”
Latest newsletter features, well, letters. Handwritten ones from Cecil. Never can tell what that guy is going to get up to…

Photo of Senator Chris Van Hollen with Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
Come for a new picture of giant duck, stay for an old essay about wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings...

I started doing the chicken thing when my chihuahua was very sick and started taking heart meds and he kept going for like 2 years
The thing nobody tells you about carrying a humongous duck around a theme park is that you have to be “on” at all times.

Some very important life lessons and action items in this one that you’ll need to know if you ever find yourself in a similar situation

Signal group chat in which Michael Waltz & JD Vance cheer bombing of a civilian apartment building
This jibes with contemporary reporting that the raids hit several residential buildings, in each case killing about 15 people and wounding more. Maybe a little more of the conversation should be about how cavalier we apparently are about bombing civilian homes? www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/3/...
Extremely relieved the administration’s sloppiness in communicating classified information via an unsecured app did not prevent us from efficiently murdering women and children for financial gain. It could have, though, and that’s why we must be much more vigilant.
The Trump admin. has detained and revoked the visa of Tufts graduate student Rumeysa Ozturk. Last year, she coauthored a piece arguing for “the equal dignity and humanity of all people,” including Palestinians. www.tuftsdaily.com/article/2024...
