zBouillabaise is back!
1. zkids
Everyone else here has kids that are good at cool things. I have little to brag about though, my kids have little talent. zson's lone God-given gift reared its head at a Cub Scout meeting about 5 years ago when they had to try to use flint and steel to make a fire. He went from kindling to roaring inferno in about two strikes of the metal and 15 seconds of puffing. None of the other kids, or their parents, could do it so he went around starting fires for everyone else. So he has a future in arsonry and insurance fraud.
And zdaughter's secret skill surfaced recently! She went to a laser tag birthday party, winning all five rounds with the most confirmed kills in each round. She was named MVP! Now she's convinced that she's a Mandalorian. So she has a future in warfare and bounty hunting. Here's an action photo from my basement.
2. I read a book
I read a book and you should read it too. FOGTB the DLC's wife wrote Grown Women and it's phenomenal. I can't believe I know anyone who can write so much so well. The novel spans a forty-some-odd year arc of time in the lives of a family of four generations of women and the dysfunction between them. Their relationships get hectic but the end made me smile. I'll let the Daves write a proper analysis after they read it.

"I can't believe I know anyone who can write so much so well." AHEM!
That picture is fantastic. It should be framed and hung on that very blank wall behind her.
Z needs to address OBXD's comment to conclude the last post...
the zcats ztube is churning out the content
Who give a fug about da Werld Seereez? I habbint watched a fuggin Yankee game in at least 5 yeaz. Nuttin happinz in bayzbawl. But wit dat said, Jeffrey Maier is a goddam nashnul trezuh. I remembih when he dit dat shit in da outfield and da Old Tappan town hawl put up a sign dat read: "Mantle, Marris, Mayer. Yankee Heroes."
There we go
ok i just watched a fucking cat video. end of civilization
I think you meant to say "ok I juz wadged a fuggin cat video. end uv fugging civiluzayshun.
He did
Good stuff. And dis fugging guys fugging dialect.
late to the show here...there can never be too many posts on GTB off-spring, especially those with action photos! what you could do Z, is frame that pic and put it on that blank wall - that'd be meta.
the cat vids...my wife and girl (i have 2 girls, but one gives no craps about cats), love cats and cat vids. i'll pass along to bolster your views.
Good idea, Danimal!
Just to be clear, the cat channel belongs to zdaughter. I film the videos with her but she does all the editing. She needs a new background track.
Music nerds!! Want to hear the same thing?
Gary Numan, "M.E." (1979)
Basement Jaxx, "Where's Your Head At?" (2001)
The Black Keys, "This Is Nowhere" (2024)
Sped up or slowed down, the same three notes played the same three ways form the basis of each of these songs.
Can't wait for the next iteration in 2048.
I blame Danger Mouse. Did you see the last episode of Ted Lasso? They ended on a similar note (pun!).
First ever Halloween not near our kid(s). Our youngest is out with her friends (and another parent) in a different neighborhood. We’re in the driveway. Not bad. A little weird though.
circle of life
We had a toddler in a full beetlejuice striped suit, hair and makeup did, on our porch tonight. One of the best costumes I’ve ever seen.
Circle of life indeed, Rob. We decided we’d be the full candy bar family tonight. Twas a success.
Garrett Wilson, supposed catch of the year, says ESPN. Didn’t look like he got in to me. Nice snag, though.
Afternoon, everybody
Evening, everybody
whit!
