Two weekends, two powwows—Haskell and KU.
Danced Southern Straight, repping my Comanche side. Brought my daughter into the arena for the first time at Haskell. Carried her, helped her dance—teared up. Proud dad moment.
Picked up some “gas money” at KU. Grateful to both committees.

Leveled up as a dad tonight—I read Quinn the original Star Wars trilogy… in Little Golden Book form. Some dads read Goodnight Moon, but in this house, we say Goodnight Alderaan.
She can’t talk yet, but I know she’d say, “This is the way.”

Just had not one, but TWO asteroids swing by Earth:
• One waved from 1.37 million miles away.
• The other pulled a surprise dive over Siberia.
Somewhere, dinosaurs are side-eyeing us like, “You sure you’ve got this handled?”
