    Unlike me, Pinot knows not to read work emails right before bed.

    The kids had the day off, thanks to the storms coming through. The storm wasn’t too bad by us, but it did rain pretty hard. The rest of the day was pretty low-key. I need some new projects to work on.

    I’ve had my eye on this reindeer costume for Pinot for weeks. I finally broke down and bought it. It is a little disappointing. The hood with the reindeer antlers doesn’t stay up and it blinds him because it covers his eyes. Also the antlers don’t stand up. It took forever to get this crappy…

    Robin had a tough day that involved a cell phone that went to a school event it was not allowed to go to. I am trying to separate making bad decisions from being a bad person for her with minimal success. I hope someday it sinks in. That day was not today.

    Pinot FINALLY got a haircut today. What a relief for everyone. He hates the car but loves the sunset.

    We spent two hours at Java Game Haus playing Exploding Kittens, Christina’s favorite game. Apparently it wore her out.

    I took some time to call people I haven’t spoken to in a while. I spent an awful lot of time talking about myself. All I have to say is people were very patient with me, and not bad at sounding interested.

    When in doubt, take photo of dog.

    I got Robin this puppy and added some lavender oil to try to help soothe her anxiety. He looks just like Pinot, her favorite living being on Earth. I think it works somewhat. I thought for sure she’d name him Pinot Jr., but she calls him Bob. In her book, everyone is Bob. It makes…

    I made meatball subs for dinner and Christina gave me the ultimate compliment when she said, “Wow! These are just like my favorite meatball subs at Subway! Only better!” How about that. I make better sandwiches than Subway. Write it down, folks.

    Christina woke up this morning with a fever, so I had a partner at work today. And literally everyone on my team was out of the office, so I really didn’t do much either. Our house cleaners didn’t come and we had no food to cook. And yet we still had homemade pasta carbonara and…

    I’ve hiked the trails at Losco Park about a thousand times, but today somehow I got turned around and ended up hiking the loop twice, turning a 1.5-mile hike into a 4+ mile hike. It wouldn’t have been that big a deal, except Christina and the dogs were with me and the dogs were exhausted…

    It’s been like five minutes since I last took a picture of Pinot. Lest anyone feel deprived.

    This dog gets petted so much, and it still isn’t enough.

    He may look innocent, but this ball of fluff dug a hole under our fence into the neighbor’s yard, which we discovered just as we were leaving for school. We could hear him, but couldn’t see him. We came back to the house to find treats to lure him back but as we got to…
