THANKSGIVING UPDATE (he’s okay, just an abundance of caution):
Hello from the local ER. My Dude got his finger crushed in a door jam playing with other kids at the party, getting it checked out. He’s a champ, in great spirits, and will be fine as long as the Switch’s batteries hold out. 🤣

Sometimes I still genuinely cannot believe that @gamesdonequick.com let me lead a team, or that @rubiehart.bsky.social and @bobbeigh.is.tall.fyi continue to work for me.

Took the kids to a pottery painting place in town today. Wasn’t sure what I wanted to paint, but then I saw this guy and that big beak just spoke to me, so…

In all parenting situations, but especially when coordinating with an ex to raise kids, communication is absolutely vital.

Breaking news: man who has more money than ANYBODY ELSE EVER envisions a future where money doesn't matter, while doing absolutely nothing meaningful to effect that state in the present.

Finally getting around to hanging up my GDQ badges, and I’ve realized that AGDQ ‘26 is going to be my 10th in-person(*) event.
Huh. Nifty.
( * Not counting the 3 or so events I did from the studio as “in-person”)

This photo is not staged. This really happened. I walked into the kitchen to get myself an energy drink and warm up a bottle for one of the kids. I walked out of the kitchen with a bottle of cold milk, and went back to figure out what I’d done.
Sleep depravation is ROUGH.

During setup for SGDQ ‘25, I walked up to the host desk, and I cried a little. It was the first event I’d ever attended that I didn’t host. It was strange to know I wouldn’t be there.
I can’t tell you how happy I am to be going back home for AGDQ ‘26. I’m back, fam, and damn I missed you all. 💙

Daughter didn’t want to come over last night, so it was just me and My Dude. Too the chance for a Dad/Dude breakfast this morning. 💙
Boy wanted mozzarella sticks with his pancakes. Madness or genius? You decide!

On the train to the airport now. Through security, direct back to Indy, if all goes smoothly it’s 10 hours to home.
It was good seeing @hockeybabbler.bsky.social again. I’ll miss you, love. Until next time. 💙❤️
Flights to the east coast and pre-dawn airport trips, name a more iconic duo…

Put together a collage of photos of Boots for Mia. Thought she might like it.
And she did. Only made both of us cry a little bit. 💙
