The two most troubled students at my kids' school are named Stiles and Slater and as a child of the '80s I can't for a second believe that's coincidental.

My dad died in 2016.
People say, I wish so-and-so had lived to see...
I wish he'd lived to see my 1st house & his granddaughter past her first few months & his grandson at all.
But other than Dunkirk (2017), I can't think of a single thing in the wider world I wish he'd lived to see.
It's not great.

I've spend most of my life striving to be better than most people at most things, and I'm confident that I've achieved that goal. Which is tragic because success comes from being better than almost everyone at one (or at most a few) things.

On Monday night we saw a SpaceX launch as we parked at the restaurant where we were celebrating my son's birthday.
It left a perfect metaphor in the sky for what that guy is trying to do to our country, like an evil reverse Bat-signal.
Anyhow, my son enjoyed the cold dessert that came with his meal.

It was the worst of times,
it was the age of foolishness,
it was the epoch of incredulity,
it was the season of Darkness,
it was the winter of despair,
we had nothing before us.
