Hi kid –

Monday back on the grind. Today you’re as big as the Barbasol can from Jurassic Park and you can stick your tongue out and your hair is starting to come in! So many things. I felt you kicking a lot last night. Mom feels you all the time. Tonight is the last night Grandma is with us, she flies back to Georgia tomorrow.

Last night I made some fresh ravioli from Pastosa, so effing good. Today has been pretty decent. Started off poorly but it’s gotten better.

Alright little life lesson time here. It’s Bruce Springsteen’s 70th birthday today and I got an update for ya. He ain’t that great. Guy had a few good songs, but people act like he’s an all-timer. He’s not even close. To be an all-timer you gotta have at least 5 bangers. I think he’s got maybe 3 and one of them is a Christmas song! Not sure why people love him so much, but in any case, those people are wrong.

Mom and grandma went to Jayla’s birthday party yesterday and your mom was looking real pretty in that yellow dress she likes.

I’m at work wrapping up my day and I’m jamming to some Brand New. Their album Science Fiction is oddly soothing. It’s mellow and kinda creepy but pretty too. People have “cancelled” them because of Jesse Lacey’s sexual assault allegations. I’m not denying what he did, but I still like the art he made so I’m going to keep listening. Will totally leave those type of decisions up to you.

Mom and I were talking on the bus this morning and I think we’re about 90% agreed on extending our lease into May when the time comes. And we’re gonna try to get a new car in November. Did I mention that I can’t wait to meet you?

I went to the park yesterday and shot around with Santa and Gleb, felt real good out there. Legs felt good, shot felt good. I’m pumped to play tomorrow night. Unfortunately, Gleb tweaked his back so he can’t run.

Can’t think of anything else at the moment.

Love you big time,

Dad
