I even wore a fancy collared shirt tonight! But not the hat. Because no.

Don’t be fooled though, I was wearing this underneath…

I only wear my fancy shoes on special occasions, such as tonight’s Fall Choral Concert that Maggie will be singing in.

Now I’ll move the camera to eye level.

Empty seats to my left…

Empty seats to my right…

I got the best seat in the house!

In other news… Maggie let me know it’s not okay to call other drivers in the school parking lot “tator tot.”

Audio (MP3): 20171026 - Super Target has Blue Diamonds

One time my brother ate a whole bag of walnuts. And my mom was furious. She still talks about it to this day even though said feeding happened sometime in the 80s. Apparently the walnuts were a gift to my mom from my grandpa during one of his nation-wide adventures. I think they came from out west but nobody knows for sure since he was known to disappear for weeks on end during his “fishing trips.”

One time grandpa bought a whole everglade forest or something in Florida. On a whim. I had always hoped to see it someday, to see if the elusive feathered-bigfoot-alligator was a real thing. But that never happened because the older I got, the less swamp sounded like fun.

She insists on laying on me even though there’s tons of space. And then when I tell her to go sleep in her own bed she gives me this look.

Me: I know, I know.

Client complains of a problem with her website. Client forwards me an email from last June.

Me also tells her that the email she forwarded from June outlines that it’s her IT department’s problem.

Lo and behold the sun made an appearance over the Fox Valley just moments ago. The gas giant^[1] the earth orbits is indeed, ladies and gentlemen. A Real Thing.

Geneva’s Mayor Kevin Burns told^[2] local reporters that all city employees could embrace the morning sunshine for up to ten minutes before heading into work.

The crowd went wild and local town folk took to the streets to feast on the Boy Scout popcorn they had bought at the Walgreens on E. Main St. in St. Charles only days before.

One Geneva photographer snapped the attached photo on his daily commute. Being self-deprecating he only commented, “Sorry this was the best picture I could take driving over the Prairie Street bridge. I’m a man not a machine.”

In more local news, Geneva’s Aldi grocery store will reopen on November 9th with both LED and natural lighting. Go team!

Enjoy your hump day, guys!

It’s raining. Again. In both Geneva when I woke up and also now in St. Charles as I look out my work window.

I haven’t been to Batavia to provide a weather report for you guys…but chances are high that it’s raining there, too. ☔️

What’s New in Version 1.2.2

For 6 tickets you can get 20 salsa, cheese, onions, and cilantro any time you like! No more excuses for dying on the highway because you ran out of salsa.

20 salsa for 6 tickets is pretty good.
