The intellectual equivalent of a ham sandwich.

July Haiku

Cabin full of fam:
Eight bigs, seven kids, two dogs
Time since last pout: 1.

With baby obstacle course

Annnnnnd back on the road
It’s the lady’s turn to drive
The dog and I chill

Want to prevent war?
Watch enemies eat yogurt

Clicked on an email
The sales pitch excited me

It’s cool … Til I’m in a stall
“There’s purple shorts guy”

The weekend zoomed by
XBOX One must be lonely
Sorry old buddy

To a Phoenix Summer’s day?
Soul crushingly hot?

Apparently, breast milk is
Made out of magic?

Staying late at work
Code won’t write itself you know

Long, stressful work week
But in the end, a success
Weekend brain: ENGAGE

Long hike this morning
Beautiful views, and, get this …

The great Sunday fight
Desire to be lazy
vs. wanting doughnuts

Bought Stardew Valley
XBOX graphics takes naps, and
I happily play

The yard needs mowing
*A wild raindrop appears!*
Weather? You’re allllllll right.

One month of code pain
Finally done with this piece
Sigh of relief … Check.

July 20 (Thursday)
Oh, hi healthy lunch
What’s that? You want alone time?
I’ll get junk food then!

July 21 (Friday)
Phone shopping online
WHAT!? PHONE’S COST HOW MUCH MONEY?

Hike to start the day
No one for miles around
That’s prime selfie time

Sipping coffee and
Reading about breastfeeding
Typical Sunday

Milk, chicken, and a cell phone
Just Costco things, right?

First ‘parenting’ test
Something scary, out of hands
I just sit and hope

Appointment with wife
All the concern was for naught
Heart, unclench now, please

Fun pregnancy game:
She feels: ALL FEELINGS. I feel:
Confusion and fear

Hot air balloon pals!

Sleep in? Well, ok.
Accomplish practically zilch?
Sure, I can do that.

Oh, just freaking great
Time to toss my home-made tee
‘Mooch made in Heaven’
