I'm this old. Some of y'all will never know this much joy in your life.
As they say in the corporate world ... We're aligned. Also, Twinsies on the closest match 😆
Dropped off our youngest for his Scout Camp week. With Mom and big brother out there staffing camp if feels weird to leave, and not be participating myself. Looking forward to hearing about all the adventures when I go to pick him up!
So, again... thank you all for changing lives for the better. Per Audacia Ad Astra... Ad Astra Et Ultra.
For all my Bungie friends, both current and former, a heartfelt thank you today. I'm eagerly awaiting this evening when I can log on with both my sons to experience the update (photo from my now 16 year old wearing his MoT shirt at 6 years old).
If anyone's a middle aged (read: Boomer) like me, and you can't decide on a meaningful emblem for today's Destiny update... There's always just the "Screw you, I'm old!" option... Harmonic Commencement: VXN-V3T-MRP
Full shields, 4c = 0.7... in a real game folks are usually chipped a bit so as long as you hit your open as a crit it feels instant lol TL;DR - it melts. Poor man's keep away / precision instrument Fang
Added em below, and yes Confetti on both 🤣 because, slightly toxic running double Scouts
Logged back into Destiny 2 for getting my legs back under me last night. Still pretty much right where I left them. Have decided I'll retire them when they hit 10k each 😆😂🤣
Taking my youngest to see The Amazing Digital Circus screening tonight. Never seen a single episode, no idea what I'm in for, though lots of cosplayers so guessing devoted fans. Happy I could make Charlie's week to go and see it.
Indeed it was! Kinda makes me sad in retrospect, though looking forward to coming back with everything that's been announced
9 years in our new home means I say it differently, though the sentiment remains the same. Now more than ever be vocal for those who simply want to exist. I see you. I support you. And, most importantly of all... Love all y'all. Live your best lives friends.
Ok, maybe halfway kidding... The sweet biscuit "strawberry shortcakes" have been served. And... silence
16 did nearly the exact same thing for us. Baked 4 cheese mac and cheese, and then I contributed (to extend the silence) sweet drop biscuits with some fresh strawberries and vanilla ice cream...
With the Destiny news this week today seemed only fitting to go deep in the closet for where my journey really began. After running solo for a while I, along with my then 4yo son, finally found my first group in Dad's of Destiny: West Coast To all my friends I've made since, here's to the memories.
Our 8th year of service through our Scouting Units at Nashville National Cemetery is now complete. Of all the projects we participate in this is the one I look forward to the most. A moment of reverence for those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
We're getting floors replaced in the first floor on Wednesday. So far my step taking app has logged just shy of 2 miles in doing all my prep downstairs. Given I've been at this for the past 7 hours, those numbers are a damn lie! I'm ready for it to be Thursday 😞
Happy Mothers Day to all of you being honored, and honoring, today. May the day be filled with love for each of you. And, if today is one you dread all year today I'm your Mom. Know that I'm proud of you, see your work & progress, and wish every single one of you success beyond your wildest dreams!
Tonight I had the absolute pleasure of watching our youngest son make his acting debut as Ziggy in Jungle Book Kids. He was phenomenal. Sang week, nailed all the choreography, and got a good laugh for his lines. Could not be more proud of him and all his hard work. Proud papa heading to bed...
Year 1 Purpose firing. Hands down the best sound in the game Beautiful to behold to boot...
This Cubmaster's heart is full. Great day with the Scouts out at Camp. Every single one of them had a blast. As a bonus, I get to bunk down by myself tonight lake side with a spectacular view. Life is good...
New Google Ads setting you'll want to look at. At roll-out it's defaulted to "On" for sharing more info.
