It’s Friday, which means it’s Daddy Day; the boy didn’t go to day care today and he and I are spending the day together.  Which, so far, has meant flipping through cartoons and various animated things on Netflix while I have discussions with strangers on Twitter.

I am a lousy parent.

Good news is I’ve got all day today plus Saturday and Sunday to get about 2000 words out to hit my target for the week, so it’s not like I’ve got a ton of other stuff to do.  Maybe I go really nuts and not pay too much attention to things with screens today.  🙂

(Yeah, right.)

Oh, also: turns out my 20th high school reunion is this weekend.  I would rather be fed to sharks than go, but I’m really glad that I actually looked at the schedule yesterday, because I was considering taking the boy to the zoo with my parents tomorrow and one of the reunion events is tomorrow at the goddamn zoo.  So that could have gone quite poorly.  God, I hate that I still live in the town I grew up in.

And yes, I’m in that picture up there, but I’m not telling you which one I am.
