I am grateful for a night with Julie. We rented “The Founder”, a film about the first McDonald’s CEO, Ray Kroc. It was a good show, and I found myself giving in to Michael Keaton’s portrayal of Kroc’s charisma, despite my better judgement, and a palpable aversion to his ethics; much like I do on occasion with McDonald’s food.

I am grateful for a day with my brother, who flew out to help me make and install a new window in the garagenous zone. Great day!

I am grateful for a walk with Cooper’s Cub Pack and Farley through Mount Douglas park tonight. I’ve driven to the top, but never walked any of the trails – what a great spot; through deep dark forest and out to a secluded beach.
I am grateful that Farley chose to hold my hand for much of that walk. I’m not sure how much of that I have left with him, so I treasure it when he reaches his hand up for mine.

I am grateful for Cooper’s school talent show. So awesome to see so many kids being so into doing what they are doing, and giving 110%. Fun stuff!
I am also grateful for all the time Farley gets to spend at that school. He’s very comfortable there, which is great, because pretty soon it will be his school, too.

I am grateful for the opportunity to sit at the Art Victoria Now show today. A few friends dropped by, and it was nice to see them, and I also was able to speak to some other folks who enquired about my work. Last day it’s up is tomorrow. It was nice to be involved in it today.
