Taking off a bit early tomorrow for a Thursday night college football game. Nothing like tailgating at 4 pm on a weekday.

Don't waste your time trying to see the tiger. I don't think it's there anymore.

2 hours door to door. My in-laws live about 15 minutes from the zoo. It's a popular spot when we visit.

This morning had a school fathers day brekkie, got into work around 10 and leaving at 1230 for a colleagues farewell lunch.

Not too bad.

I wish we said brekkie.

Two asshole parents from the opposing team at my son’s soccer game today would not shut up. I put my headphones on for the second half. After the game (the rare 1-1 tie) they kept going on and on about how bad the ref was. It was a chippy game, but it was balanced. Also, he had no sideline AR’s. Probably made $50 for his 90 minutes.

I was packing my chair up and couldn’t take anymore. I said, “There’s a ref shortage. If you can do better, take the classes and do better.” The dude goes, “He is out there. We are not out there.” I said, “Right, then just shut up. You’re embarrassing.” His wife, who was 100 times worse than him, said, ‘Who just said shut up?” It was rhetorical, but I couldn’t resist. ‘It was me. I did. Please shut up.” They got the last word in: ‘You’re embarrassing.” I couldn’t think of a comeback.

The best and worst part is another parent from their team was facing me and had his back to them. He looked at me and said, “8 fucking years of this.” And I felt that. They ruined the game for the kids and the parents. It’s one game for us. For that team, it’s every game, year after year. What a bummer.
