Before everything else: Judas Priest - Breaking the law

Kirby and the Wife were very active; i was very lazy. While they partake in a run for a good cause, i worked on the backups. They were happy and exhausted upon their return. We spent the afternoon tinkering with Kirby's ball path.

Kirbys teacher asked us to write down a few milestones from every year of his life. I worked through photos and journal entries to write down a few, and realized how weird my perception of time has become since Kirby was born. Everything happened yesterday, his first steps, his first word, the time he asked me to read to him, playing hide-and-seek, telling me he's bored in kindergarten, getting his first school report, using his music books as a media player. It's hard to bring those things into sequence. Don't know how a parent feels until you become one.

Where is the Mister Terrific solo movie? Watched the extras of Superman (2025) and he got not enough time in there, and i understand the work this movie has to do, and how part of the mission was, and still is, to get the Snyder stains out of the carpet, but sometimes, everything felt a bit too sugar and spice—which hopefully wasn't just for the making of crew.

Kirby asked me, to show him Mega Man on the Game Boy. Next time, i have to show it to him on an emulator, so i can activate cheats…
