Had dinner at a street market in Siem Reap, Cambodia tonight. Tarantula, beetle, grasshopper, cricket, frog and a beer. Was way better than it sounds.

In Siem Reap, Cambodia. Our waitress for lunch (16/17 years old) speaks English without an accent. My wife asked where she learned English. β€œWatching lots of Game of Thrones and as a kid lots of Disney.”

Staying at a hotel in Siem Reap, Cambodia. The phone is how you call the front desk, the radio is a Bluetooth radio.

Have to get up at 2:30 am to catch a flight to Singapore. But I usually sleep pretty well on a jet flight so there is that.

My oldest daughter is a balloon handler on the Pillsbury Doughboy balloon in the Macy’s Parade. Hope it’s not too windy.

I just read somewhere that because of the timing of the submission to SCOTUS they had to give them 48 hours (apparently some rule) and because it butt up against the weekend that lengthened the time.

It’s a bit like β€œresearch based” reading and math programs in elementary. The bad news is teachers are required to follow the semi scripted program, the really bad news is as long as a teacher follows the program and can remind admin that they have observed them using the program correctly, it gives

Even I’ve been there. First for my daughter’s graduation from NYU years ago, then a Yankees game about 6 weeks ago against the Angels (Angels won). And I had to come all the way from Nevada. If your wife can do it you can too. Priorities.

On our way to visit the redwoods in Northern California at Redwood National Park which boasts the tallest trees as opposed to Sequoia National Park which boasts the largest trees.

Does anyone else have a cat that fetches? Ours lives to chase and return toys. Or is this more common than I might think?

Yes, quite a few actually.

My wife wants me to go out and collect some pinecones for a project. I tried to convince her that pinecones are out of season.
