Alice McFlurry 

Today is my dad's birthday and tomorrow would have been my mom's.

I always thought it was cool that they were born a day apart and I would lie to the kids in my class and tell them that my parents were twins who were born just before midnight and just after because I was a complete idiot.

In other news, my dad sent me this photo of him hanging out on a boat and I can't help but think he looks a lot like my little hotdog guy.

Since it's my dad's birthday, he's been sending me a bunch of photos, so can we all talk about how cute his desk is?

@3dogcouch 😂 Why reach two extra inches just for the sake of symmetry?

@3dogcouch @Alice Judging by that and the state of the telephone, I'm guessing this setup suits him just fine as he is a left hander?

@khleedril @Alice idk but he has a cute dog

@3dogcouch @Alice Left-handers can have cute dogs!
Show threadAlice McFlurry 2d ago
@khleedril @3dogcouch He is left handed! He also has really nice handwriting, especially for a lefty. Mostly just in block letters that look like perfect comic book text.

It is *very* cute.

@Alice Was the Samba VW his? I'd die for one of them today.
Show threadAlice McFlurry 2d ago
@khleedril Nah. I think my parents were at a car show, but he's definitely restored several old VWs over time.

@Alice impeccable, but that teal phone steals the show.

@Alice I was immediately struck by how similar this is to your own approach to furnishing. Spare, precise, stylish and functional.

William Morris's ethos was that one should "have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful."

@Alice

Holy crap, a Rolodex.

Show threadAlice McFlurry 2d ago
@djtoebeans I know! He has an iPhone so I don’t think he actually uses it and just thinks it's an amusing thing to have on his desk.

@Alice

In my family, our son is born a day apart from me and our daughter is born a day apart from my wife 😄

My grandmother and her twin brother were actually born either side of midnight! She appeared first, and never let him forget it!
Show threadJosh2d ago
@Alice Hmm. My mom's birthday is legit the day after mine, and her younger brother has the same birthday as she but 10 years younger.
