What an amazing fun weekend it was with my daughter in England for college visit, but it's nice to be home

I know this isn't doom related, and in this day and age what isn't, but the microwave (magnetron) popcorn in Belgium comes on this awesome stand up box, and America, you now have one more thing to get your shit together about

I can genuinely say that I've never had a better first day swag bag of goodies from an employer on my first day then at Guardiant CyberDefense, I'm really excited to be working here, and appreciate them taking care of me

Our first Belgium basketbal league game, the concessions are different and a bit sparse but the basketball was fun

Goodbye America I will miss the promise of you, what you were and what the hope and promise of what you could be, but lately seemed to have forgotten. I will miss my friends and family tremendously, but off to Europe and the hope for democracy and a better life for my kids.

Single visa sponsorship work visa approved, on to residency permit, then on to Belgium, my God it's exciting!!!

Well Antwerp is certainly a beautiful city, we have started to figure out the transit, and the walk ability I am loving, the neighborhood we are staying in is quite nice and something we can probably afford, good start so far

As we are getting ready to put our house on the market, we are decluttering and that means my massive cable drawer in the office is being emptied. After wincing multiple times at items going in the goodwill box, my wife finally grabbed a sticker from my 5 yo prize box, and said, see you've earned it. And ya know what, I have earned it, getting rid of cables is hard!

Current wait for DMV appointments in my area are sitting at 7 weeks out. My son has to wait 7 weeks for a dl appointment so Kim Reynolds can underfund schools and critical services to give money to rich assholes who don't want their kids to mix with the heathens. Fuck her and all GOP grifters and assholes

As I was laying on the floor of the kitchen having a good mental health cry, I swear I looked up at the recycling bin and thought, wait does the cinnamon toast crunch box say "eat my Cinna ass" and it gave me the heartiest of laughs
