I am grateful for a productive day working quietly in my quiet garagenous zone.

I am grateful for the opportunity to catch a fleeting glimpse of a buddy of mine who just became a new father. We dropped off some frozen soup and hightailed it out of there; the baby was sleeping, and everyone there is exhausted. I am happy for him. I miss my kids as babies. That’s a special time, but I am grateful to be on the other side of the exhaustion and the stress of it!

I am grateful for some free childminding from my folks so that Julie and I could go see a movie. We saw Arrival, and we both really enjoyed it.
