Our kids mostly watch most Bluey/Gabby/Cocomelon type stuff but I fired up some Looney Tunes this morning. A three-year old boy’s reaction to seeing Yosemite Sam get shot in the face with a cannon for the first time in the best.

One of them died when I was five but he had a convenience store and would always give me chocolate candy footballs when I can in. I’ll still get one sometimes and they taste the same.

I don't need the lore behind your favorite posters... tell me about your uncles

Love that last anecdote about Bruce helping him after the LA fires. Reminds me of the moment in the documentary about Zevon recording his last album where he says “The thing about Bruce is he’s exactly the guy you hope he is.”

I know. I think that night is already sold out (tickets on sale 20 minutes ago) but if you keep an eye on the DBT FB group there always people who have to bail.

Heathens Homecoming at the 40 Watt in Feb, he’s the opener for the first night.

Middle aged southern dad status: got tickets for Drive-By Truckers/MJ Lenderman and Cookies & Cocoa with Hairy Dawg this morning.

The world is a shitshow but @danagould.bsky.social Halloweenery podcast just dropped and this year’s is over four hours long. One hour in and it’s a delight, as always.

Unsolicited advice: if you get time (and if they’re having it in light of the show), the Ryman backstage tour is wonderful.

Wife out of town, both kids needed to poop simultaneously. This is what feels like to be an ER doc in an understaffed hospital after a highway pileup.

Life as a single father isn’t easy, but I find a way even in the midst of struggle (Wife is out of town for 24 hours; son wants me to build a Lego tower with him while I’m trying to empty the dishwasher and listen to Jimmy Buffett).

That rumble you heard was all us southern dads hearing that MJ Lenderman is one of the openers for Drive-by Truckers Homecoming this year.

Having to fill out that blank map in 7th grade Georgia History class was a real pisser.

Vineyard Dawg @vineyarddawg.bsky.social · 4d

In b4 somebody that doesn't live in Georgia flies into your mentions and trolls about Georgia having 159 counties and so what are you complaining about

I don’t really mind though. I know there’s a brief window where she’s going to want me on field trips vs “please don’t be in the same place as me.”

Shout out to Dekalb County for being ginormous and me having to drive to Stone Mountain to get my background check done so I can volunteer at my daughter’s field trips and then having to go back to get my ID when my background clears.

Tom Petty would have been 75 today. If I had a time machine I’d go back to see one of these shows from the Fillmore residency. Yes, I’d stop a bunch of tragedies too, but after that I think I’d deserve some me time.

Head Like a Hoklahoma!

They also got to hear me get my back up about rival towns for no reason. We got off I-20 one exit early because my son had to pee. Wife: “Oh, that sign says there’s a historic downtown.” Me: “There ain’t shit in Villa Rica.”

Atlanta Dads: the big exhibit at Fernbank right now is about maritime archaeology.

New Kirby meme just born.

Taking my family to my hometown is fun because they get to hear me say what stuff used to be other stuff.

According to FB memories, wife and I hung out with Craig Finn 8 years ago today. He probably also looks back on that evening with great fondness.

“GOTTA BE GOTTA BE GOLDEN” — me, multiple times a day, even if the kids aren’t around.

Took great joy in sending this to my two closest friends (met in first and fourth grade, respectively).

Sugar tour with DBT opening. Trying to manifest this.

I could sit through any song on VH-1’s Pop-Up Videos back in the day, but I still couldn’t make it through that one.
