Off to meet my sister for (belated) birthday drinks.

Great, productive night: dinner out and playground with the kids; finished another Star Wars movie; fixed two bugs on my web site and watched Casablanca again while drinking some homemade beer.

For my entry for Father of the Year: I'm eating at the bar at Outback with the kids.

I'm alone either way, but there's something about emptiness of the gym on a Friday morning that I enjoy more.

The opposite of the sexism on Mad Men is Kindergarten orientation: they're not talking to me, more around me.

I feel like I ran a race, without getting to the gym. My reward: the early train, on time.

So, as Luke and I are racing to the barber shop last night, by the time I got home and before they close, I thought to myself: I can't text while driving but I can eat a sloppy, greasy Taco Bell mess?

Is it bad that I'm rewriting songs from the kids' shows in my head, even if it's not my best work? "I feel tired, so much tired."

Saturday morning and the kids and I are awake, letting Jenny sleep. The day holds so much promise now, unlike right after my last message.

I didn't even need to go to Luke's hip hop class to hang with the soccer mom's. Ironically, they're not as yenta-ish at actual soccer.

So this is the nice weather that I heard about but couldn't even see from the office? Off to the park with the kids. Which park today?

Luke was so into A New Hope last night that now we're watching The Empire Strikes Back #TheForceIsStrongInThisOne #HeSawHisNameInTheScroll

More excited to be watching A New Hope with Luke in blu ray than when we saw The Phantom Menace in 3D in the theater.

Would a pint of #Guinness count as a no-meat Lenten Friday dinner?

Chinese restaurant with the kids for dinner. They almost ate, too.

I'm starting to think I'm spoiling the kids by bringing them to the park every day: they're bored and just sitting on the playground.

What a quick hour that was. Another room painted. #shouldhavestartedearlier

A new day, another new park and all is well in the world; at least for the kids, judging from their smiles. I could get used to this.

Just realized that I have to root for Kansas in this game, if I have any hope in my #bracketsbracketsbrackets. 99th percentile on ESPN.

Watching Luke play at the play area, I'm amazed: I only think I can remember having my own little world to play in and create like that.
