Bullet points make for a pretty easy post.

There was no bike riding practice last night (shitty weather) but The Chicken was doing smashingly on Tuesday evening. He's doing well enough he's now to the point where he's trying to show off for girls. A girl named Ines, one of his classmates, was at the park when we were there. Every time Chicken rode past, he had to look to see if she was watching. Once when she was checking him out, Chicken tried to stand up to pedal. He's never done this before and we've not yet encouraged him to do this. He nearly wiped out and quickly sat down again. And then looked to see if Ines was still watching. Any time he fell, he always jumped up like he was sitting on a spring, and then checked to see if Ines saw his crash. Cool boys don't whimper about banged knees, you know.

Ines rides the same school bus and also loaned him a Pokemon book last week.

I think he's sweet on her. Little playa.

The other day I mentioned the construction in my neighborhood. Well, it's easily more annoying now than it was then. All the construction is now around the corner, so my street has a quickie asphalt patch. This patch has settled and now has more bumps and contours than the dark side of the moon. I go around the block so I don't have to drive over it.

I heart playing around with code.

I just finished a small project that was befuddling me off and on for a few weeks. In the end it turns out I was overthinking it. The finished script is only 30 lines of code. I always feel a little dumb when I realize something is much simpler than I expected. But I also feel like a fucking super hero when I see the elegance of the results.

I love this shit.

It's Thursday. I fucking love Thursdays. Not only is it almost Friday, but it's also the day I have breakfast at work in the morning and a coffee "date" with Bunny in the afternoon.

Sometimes I also do some work on Thursdays.
