On the drive to school this morning…
Papa: “Did I explain WHY dad is taking his big work trip today?”
Penelope: “No.”
Papa: “We’ll, it’s about his book. You know, the book he wrote that we’ve been reading at bedtime, Papa’s Coming Home?”
Twins: “Yeah?”
Papa: “We’ll, he’s traveling so he can go share the book with lots of people. He’s going to different cities all over the country to share the book! It’s called a book tour.”
Gus, worried: “But… but… will he bring it back?”
It’s honestly pretty sad when you think about it.
There are people out there who spend their time focused on me — picking apart everything I say and do online.
Not working on their dreams.
Not building anything of their own.
Just sitting there, criticizing someone who’s actually out here trying.
I don’t say this out of anger.

Came home from the 27 mile bike ride this afternoon and the 18 year old son single-handedly put in the window air conditioner.
I swear, in his lifetime, ithis s the first time he has shown any initiative and follow through, to do anything that resembles any type of manual labor without being pleaded, prodded or pushed by either me or my wife.
It’s amazing what getting used to creature comforts will do to a person.

I announced this morning I’m leaving Webtoons. This is something I’ve been thinking about for months now and today is the day. You can read a bit about my journey and my decision why in this post (In true Webtoons style with all the art and vertical-scroll glory.)
I’m happy that I’ve found a place to park my stuff for a while. Maybe Subs…
