#NoKingsInAmerica

Today for father's day I ate barbecue and took a montante class. Pulled pork and big swords.

I just learned that Chicago dog deep dish pizza exists. I have never had my doubts about the existence of a loving god so openly vindicated.

I just saw a Twitter ad saying everyone should watch 2001: Space Odyssey because AI could be like the monolith. You know, as opposed to the AI in the movie.

I had two false fire alarms at 3 AM last night, kindergarten drop off was a mess because we were told the wrong building for drop off and then I’ve been in hearings from 9:00 to 12:30. I am thoroughly done with this Monday.

My kindergartner: Daddy usually brushes his teeth at the same time as me. Me: Only when I’m very tired. My kindergartner: Like I said, “usually.”

This chart is evidence of a crime being perpetrated against our children and the entire future of our country.

Any other lawyers out there have people threaten your clients that they’ll call you about something? I’ve been seeing this from some CPS caseworkers and it mystifies me. Like, I’m literally the only person involved paid to be on the client’s side. What do they think I’m doing?

The end of due process for immigrants is the end of due process for citizens. Few understand this.

Damn my timeline turned into a turbo cesspit today. Blocking Nazis right … and further right.

I don’t hate America. I love being from the country that said no to kings, landed on the moon and toppled Hitler. What I hate is looking around and not seeing that country anymore. We were never the country I was promised as a child, but we used to try to be.

So you know how we were all dunking on Friends for how unrealistic it is for adult friends to come over and eat breakfast together? I became that person on Monday. My friend came to carpool with me, decided the snow was too bad and had breakfast instead.

So I’m drinking a Mt. Dew Baja Blast Tropical Lime and I am wondering, wasn’t Baja Blast already lime flavored? Aren’t all limes tropical?

I’m considering becoming folksier with age. I’m apparently the only person in my office that says “he’s trying to ride two horses with only one ass” and I am thinking I will lean into this.

Today, my five year old painted a rose garden at sunset while listening to Eye of the Tiger. Parenting is going well today.

In the last 48 hours I have not had 3 contiguous hours of sleep. Today I was in front of three judges, I was double booked for two court appearances. According to my phone I walked up and down a mile's worth of stairs. But not one client went to jail or lost parental rights.

I just had a dream where I was making soup, fell asleep, had a dream where I negotiated a better deal for a client, and then woke up worried about the soup I was making, before actually waking up to no soup. Should I make soup later?
