Year 2, Day 259

I was off today for Veterans' Day. Miles, however, went to daycare as usual. Throw in a vacation day for Jaclyn, and you get that oh-so-rare occurrence -- A DAY WITHOUT MILES. Yes, for one tight window of roughly eight hours, Jaclyn and I were able to live our lives as we did in days … Continue reading Year 2, Day 259 →

Day 135: A Sort-of Review of Ant-Man and the Wasp

Trips to the movies are rarer for us now than they were four months ago (but still well above the national average!), but when a Marvel movie comes out, it's required viewing, even when that movie is the relatively low-stakes Ant-Man and the Wasp.

Also, at some point a human catches on … Continue reading Day 119: A Sort-of Review of Hereditary →

Day 69

While his mother and I were gallivanting around town (both with and without each other), Miles got to spend the day with his grandparents and aunts. I'm honestly not sure who enjoyed it more. Personally, I got to attend Free Comic Book Day and go to the Charlotte Symphony in the evening, I so know … Continue reading Day 69 →

Day 60 — Avengers: Infinity War

Tonight, Miles had his first babysitter experience so Jaclyn and I could attend an opening night showing of the new Avengers movie. The first difference I noticed in post-baby movie-going was that I actually asked Jaclyn if she was keeping her cell phone on during the movie. The next was a realization I wasn't really … Continue reading Day 60 — Avengers: Infinity War →
