Special night to be able to be at Coach Malone’s first game and win as UNC head coach with my boy.
Go Heels!
Work. Driveway hoops with my daughter. Family taco dinner. Dishes. Watched the kids do homework. Golf.
Solid day.
Went to visit a client yesterday to help him with a docusign form.
Most don’t need this, but it’s fulfilling to be of service.
I hope when I’m old that someone will be around to help me with tech I can’t understand.
It’s really dumb that I can have a conversation with grok in my Tesla but it can’t send me an email recap, links to things I’ve asked about, etc.
Not much makes me happier than seeing our kids and their friends playing football, soccer and hoops in our driveway/front yard.
Just finished this, agreed! Great read.
If you haven’t read Stoner by John Williams yet... you’ve missed what might be the most underrated novel ever written. It came out in 1965 and sold about 2,000 copies. Soon it was out of print. Decades later it was rediscovered and became a bestseller across Europe. The story is simple. A poor farm boy goes to university to study agriculture, falls in love with literature and becomes a professor. He has an unhappy marriage, a career that goes nowhere and a life nobody remembers. That’s the whole book. And somehow it’s one of the most moving things you will ever read. It will make you think hard about how you’re spending your own life.

Don't hear many stories like this (unfortunately)
Sports gambling is a giant self-inflicted wound for the 🇺🇸
Like the opioid crisis but more insidious because the impacts are less visible
I see middle school students colloquially using gambling terms and language regularly now
I wonder if anything changes this

Our 10 year old, watching a kid cartoon movie trailer:
“Why is he twerking!?”
Should I be more concerned that the 10 year old knows what twerking is or that the cartoon dude was doing it…
Our son’s soccer team had a tough one in the tournament championship against a team that had just beaten them 4-0.
They went up 1-0 but it could have easily been 3-0.
They lost 2-1.
Sometimes things don’t always work out the way you want in sports, work, life.
Keep grinding.
Chic-fil-A for breakfast.
Lunch workout followed by Chic-fil-A.
Pick up one kid from after school activity. Stop by Krispy Kreme to get hot donuts.
Water grass.
Pot Roast and potatoes cooked by the amazing wife (who also works).
Get kids showered, to bed.
This is the way.
“The mailbox is full and cannot accept any messages at this time. Goodbye.”
I hear this about once a week, and it never ceases to amaze me.
Looking at a landscape picture of a lake and mountains we’ve never been to.
Our 7 year old: “it gives Pennsylvania vibes.”
She’s never been to PA either.
So many good memories from this place
On this day in North Carolina history September 30, 1948.
The Rams Head Rathskeller opened down in Amber Alley off Franklin Street in Chapel Hill. Folks just called it The Rat.
Ted Danziger and his family opened it in the basement under the old candy shop. They were Austrian folks who came over here and started over in Chapel Hill. First place around there to pour draft beer. Pizza showed up a few years later and that was a big deal for this part of the country back then.
The Daily Tar Heel ran an ad saying Andy Griffith was gonna wander around with his guitar welcoming people in. Think about that. Andy Griffith playing in a basement restaurant the night it opened.
That place fed generations of UNC students. Lasagna they called the bowl of cheese. The Gambler steak. Waiters who stayed for decades. Initials carved in the wood. Dates. Cheap beer. Loud nights. It was not fancy and it was not supposed to be.
The Rat closed in 2007. Building still sitting there under Franklin Street. Different things have come and gone in that space since.
If you ever ate there you remember it. If you never did, you missed a Carolina institution.
First picture is the alley entrance.
Black and white picture is the view from Franklin St. Old World Gift Shop upstairs and The Rat downstairs.
I didn’t really understand Dune when I saw the movie a few year ago. Might have even fallen asleep in the theater.
Decided to give the book a shot. It’s so much better.
