I have never kept track before. This could be interesting or demoralizing. Only real goal is to knock out The Expanse series by James S. A. Corey.

I need to revisit these.
I never give flowers for Valentines day. The wife made it clear early on that that is not special. Give them on a random day. Means more.

Insta pot vortex. We use it more than the microwave.
We have Bark for our 12 yo. Only because of being home alone for a few hours in the afternoon. You have a lot of controls you can set. All contacts and apps have to be approved, you can set timeframes when everything is shut off, and it tracks location. You can set certain locations to send a notification to my wife and I when my kid arrives or leaves. We get notifications if there is any that might be questionable in a TXT or video. Any picture received is sent to us as well.

I hate this is where we are, but times are different.

All that being said, its not the most reliable OS. We have had several issues.

I didn't know I had that capacity of love, before my kids were born. Helps to have good partner you are on the same page with.
All 4 at one time. Had them put me under. I remember the dentist going to put the shot in my mouth, and I woke up at home. I didn't swell that bad, went to work the next day.
That's a big step towards gainful employment. First impressions matter.
Mike Flannagan and GdT are the best guys working in horror right now. I'm pumped for the new Frankenstein coming out soon on Netflix, made by del Toro.
Pale Blue Eye was very underrated.

Monsters season focused on Dahmer

Took my dad to see him at the Seanger a few years ago because he's a big fan. He is probably the best technical guitar player I have ever seen. Good version of Going Down by Freddy King. His song Woke up Dreaming is great as well.
Yep. Year after I bought my house AC drain line clogged. 2nd day drain the pan, in August I over heated and stepped through. Attempted to patch it myself. Fast forward to the flood in '16 and the sheetrock guy who did my housed sees my attempt and says "who did that, not good job" and refinished that spot for me.
