Also, it's truly amazing, but not many people ever talk about the strength of Jim Gordon. Here's a man, without all Batman's training and wealth, who still deals with the same trash, vermin, and psychopaths. He's seen a daughter shot, paralyzed, and sexually assaulted by a clown-like lunatic. He's had a wife killed by the same madman. And he hasn't broken.
Did you see Suicide Squad?

Yes. I enjoyed it, despite the overuse of Harley Quinn and gaping plot holes.
Margo Robbie's performance, however, was excellent. Still doesn't make me like the character. Will Smith's Deadshot must be along the lines of the modern version - less of a psychotic super-assassin with a death wish, and more of the super-assassin who also happens to be a great dad. Very sad, really. The lady who played The Wall did an awesome job. I actually thought she was one of the highlights of the movie.
<3 Margot Robbie

Just under a week until the boy starts Kindergarten. Last night, we went to the school for a parent's only meeting. They wanted to go over some details for the coming school year.
One thing they pointed out - they'd prefer if, for the first day of school, the kids arrive the same way they'll be doing it all year long, so as not to confuse them. This upset my wife a bit. She was planning we would both drop him off and pick him up the first day, then he'd switch to taking the bus to/from daycare everyday. I almost told her "Suck it up, buttercup". That's something I find myself saying to the boy with increasing frequency.
Boy. After a week of nephew-palooza, I am impressed with your wrangling of small children. Even my dogs would hide after a while
Yeah. Four nephews 8,6,2,1. All engines of chaos. Well, the 8-year-old wasn't bad. He's going to grow up to be a most sober and reliable fellow. The 6-year-old is a whirling dervish though. He's got adventurers blood in him for sure.

Some people may wonder....Why the thread resurrection this morning? Well, I'll explain.
I was fixing the boy's lunch this morning, and trying to decide on a snack for him. I briefly considered some Zapp's potato chips, but had to discard that idea. They are fried in peanut oil, which makes them a definite school no-no. That quickly got my mind thinking about the seeming vast increase in peanut allergies today, versus when I was a kid. Lack of coffee thought processes did the rest....
Luckily I am focused and see no thread resurrections. Nothing good can emerge from the unholy OTD graveyard.
Looks like I will have a little monster soon to play with and corrupt with games and shiny toys and tales of fantastic things

Busy morning already. Up early to get the kids ready for school/daycare, which involves making sure they get dressed, get breakfast, go potty, and one lunch gets made. Then there's actually getting them to daycare (they bring the boy to school for me).
Back home: coffee, taking care of some early morning business, breakfast (Mmmm...bacon), washing some dishes, emptying (and beginning to refill) the dishwasher.
Then I come here to spread joy.
Later, I'll go for my morning constitutional. Might go about replacing a burned out tail light on the Trailblazer. Some applications to fill out and other internet/computer work will round out at least my before noon time.

I need to learn programming so I can create a fighting game where you get to name all your opponents and even vary what they look like with tons of customizable facial features. Then you can make them look like, and name them after, people you don't like.
I've already got a few people (especially from my old job) in mind.....
