- Maxwell’s birthday was yesterday. He didn’t want a party, he wanted to go fishing. We saw a moose and he caught a fish. Success.
- I’m not coaching football this year because the boys aren’t playing. It feels strange to not be practicing. We are doing fall baseball instead.
- Has anyone seen the new Spiderman movie? I want to see it.
- A good t-shirt.
- Airport mistakes that will cost you.
- School starts on Wednesday for us. The summer went by too fast.
