While there are aspects I could critique, AISD’s plan makes a lot of sense. I don’t envy being in this position and I appreciate there’s no painless way to move forward. #atx

I love random nuggets hidden in modern urban areas. Today’s nugget: El Paso High School has a principal’s apartment inside the building (no longer used). #elpaso

I’m trying to cut back on some of my subscriptions so thinking about picking up a mini PC to self-host a “cloud” server from home. Thinking it’d be cheaper to do that + off-site backup than what I’m paying for random things.

The US government’s position on the admitted mistake of sending a man to a foreign prison without any due process is beyond disgraceful. No due process and, in the official position of the US government, no possibility of return is indefensible. #uspol

I’m disgusted at the behavior of President Trump and Vice President Vance today. If we’re the greatest country in the world, we should act like it. Not whatever that was in the Oval today. 🇺🇦

Didn’t realize my phone was in silent mode (kid retreat this weekend…) so overslept, missed my airport shuttle. Walked up to the gate as my boarding zone was called. Rocky start but exit row by myself so looking up! #wcasia

Confirmation Relics

My daughter's Confirmation Retreat had a "relics table" with various relics. A 1st class of Bl. Carlo Acutis, a zucchetto (white skull cap) belonging to St. JPII, and a rosary given to a family from Mother Teresa. #catholic…

Nixon's 2nd inauguration was within a month of Truman's death. Flags were at half-staff. Trump's 2nd inauguration is within a month of Carter's death. Flags should be at half-staff. Biden's first inauguration while in elected office was Nixon's 2nd. His last will be Trump's 2nd. #uspol

The twins are now big enough to not need a booster seat in the cars anymore. As I drag four seats (2 kids, 2 cars) to the garage, it is bonkers how much money all that was and how… just not needed anymore.
