Just got an email from our daughter's school. A large group of kids walked out in demonstration against ICE. I think the school expects us to punish the kids but I'm going to buy mine ice cream.

A few days ago while discussing our vacation plans, Melissa mentioned New Mexico. She said both Santa Fe and Albuquerque are nice. Ellie says, "Sometimes I'll be quirky" and I started laughing. Melissa just looked at me confused and I told her it was an obscure Simpsons reference and that she's probably my daughter. We Harpers have cracked brains.
Today she was rocking out and singing along with Journey. I said yeah, she's definitely my daughter!
It's that time again. I feel older and older as the years go by.
We're celebrating late with the in-laws.
I'm thinking about surprising my daughter with a trip to Blade Show 2026 with part of the vacation money I won. It's held in Atlanta, Georgia each year and is the largest knife show in the world. Probably sounds strange to some but my daughter and I both enjoyed collecting high end knives. Getting different mechanical features and materials used.
It's also only an 8 hour drive so I won't have to fly. Thank the Gods!
