We have survived not one, but two parties for our 3 year old. And upon taking her to school Monday morning, I was greeted by her teacher asking, “do you want to provide some refreshments for the class so she can have a party here?”
Noooooooo thank you, Ms Elysia. We have finally explained that before she has another birthday, mommy will have a birthday, and then daddy will have another birthday. And then it will be her turn again in 6 months from that.
We are not making this only child think she gets every birthday.
And speaking of time, allow me to pull the curtain back on how it works around the global headquarters of Kop of Coffee Enterprises, LLC.
On Tueseday, I spent about 20 minutes sticking this week’s slate of games into here with coverage. I thought to myself, “wow. I am so fucking far ahead of things. This will be a great week for Kop of Coffee.”
On Wednesday, I did nothing.
On Thursday, I opened the draft and thought … wow … I might even get this out early. I did no other work.
Today, holy shit. I gotta get this thing out. So without further time warping procrastination …

In Soccer news
Mauricio Pochettino has finally been named the head coach of the US Men’s National Team. Our long national nightmare begins. I can’t wait to watch this up close.
In Legal news
Monday begins Manchester City’s toughest title defense, as they defend 8 Premier League titles all at once. That’s literally never happened before. Their trial (I use that word only in the strictest legal definition) is expected last 10 weeks. At that time, Everton will be then docked all the way into Ligue 1.
Seriously, emotionally hedge yourself into the reality that nothing will come of this and you can’t be disappointed.
That’s all I’ve got. After school care begins next week, and I am honestly going to miss watching 3 hours of Daniel Tiger cartoons with my kid on the couch while I don’t do work.
Like AI can really take my job.
Take care of yourself, and each other.
The Everton joke was excellent. Nicely done
