zBouillabaise

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.

3. zcats

zcats have a YouTube channel.  There's a lot of snuggling and slapboxing involved but I foresee lots of ping pong ball content soon.  I can't embed any of the videos because they're all "shorts," whatever the hell that means.
