I totally agree. I am not always in the mood to socialize at soccer with other parents. Have had some great discussion and some brutally awkward ones. Sometimes I just want to watch my kid and listen to a podcast. Sometimes I drop them and go do something else. Sometimes I am kicking a ball and warming up my other kid.

But sitting in your car on your phone is so bleak it makes me want to like completely re design my life to eliminate technology.

"Last Christmas" sang by anyone other than Wham! on my holiday music stations.

Tom, normally i agree with all of your opinions but I have to say I prefer Leslie Odom Jr’s version. Vocals are smoother than buttered silk.

Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.

New warning: Don't get in a fight with someone who doesn't even need to bother to buy ink.

Have we talked about the use of the term “gifted”. As in “we gifted my mom a digital picture frame…”. When did we do away with “gave” or “got a present”. Maybe if you are talking about massive tracts of farmland or huge portfolios of stocks it fits but it just seems kind of pretentious in a lot of the places where it gets used these days.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Corner cabinets with rotating shelves. I get the idea, but hate it when I have to get something. Ugh.

We would have a huge storage space crisis in our kitchen without the lazy Susan but it drives me nuts when the lids for 9 x 13 pans get trapped behind the Lazy Susan and block the whole works.

we got one of these thingamabobs. works pretty well for the most part, but brother? let me tell you, if something falls off one of those shelves it might be the biggest PITA OAT trying to get back there to retrieve it.
