Happy to see this, especially if it means Anthem will do less of this in the future. Having two kids on the spectrum and in ABA therapy at the same time taught me more than I ever wanted to know about health insurance.
Some one recently asked me who my favorite Star Wars character is and I eventually came up with Rey.
And for humanoids, that holds.
But, really: It’s the Millenium Falcon. Every time in the new movies I see her, I nearly squee with joy.
The only way I interact with Twitter is through Tweetbot and I have zero interest in interacting with it otherwise.
So, basically, what I’m saying is, if you have an account over at Micro.blog, shoot me your handle and I can follow you.

New side project time.
This time something to use with the day job.
Other meal prep stuff today: Snacks and salads to go to work with me (inc. homemade hummus). Four dinners for four: Sweet-n-sour chicken, beef tacos, pork tenderloin sandwiches, and honey garlic chicken and veggies.
It’s been a busy day.
Been prepping my work lunches for a few weeks now and hard at work today for next week’s: Breakfast = Western omelette egg cup and bell peppers. Lunch = Roasted sweet potatoes and brussels sprouts with duck sausage.
Also in the get-my-life-together department, I called Comcast today once I discovered I was still on a 3mbps internet plan at home from, oh, a decade ago. Same price, getting 150mbps, all the premium channels and home security.
The most powerful force in my life is inertia.
This is my son’s Pinewood Derby car this year. We half-assed it in nearly every way. Somehow, in the preliminary rounds it got three firsts, a second, and a third.
I’m not sure what to think right now.
Right before Halloween, I quit smoking after being a smoker (off and on) for 20 years. I feel better, sure, but the more impressive thing has been the mental state change.
If I can do that (the quitting), I am capable of anything.
Fascinating thread about DACA/immigration and its reflection of World War II’s Japanese internment and farming economy. A reminder: Everything comes down to $
Stream of consciousness Walt Disney World tips and tricks
Wednesday, January 10, 2018
Fresh off a six-night trip to Florida’s Walt Disney World with the family (photos here, here and here), here are a few things I wish I knew before I went: Everybody there is also a tourist and everybody - from cast members to fellow park goers - is going to be super friendly and super nice (your mileage may vary). The MagicBands can be resized for little kids. The gray part of it can be ripped off so they’re much, much smaller and fit around their little wrists way better (otherwise, they overlap more than a little bit).
Anyway. We had a lot of fun (even if the weather wasn’t great).
Even fireworks photos are pretty awesome.
These taken from the train station at the end of Main Street (decent viewing spot, by the way).
Had a fun trip to Disney World last week. And the iPhone 8 Plus takes fantastic photos.
Tonight is the night we have “the discussion” about Autism Spectrum Disorder with our kids. Our son just turned nine and our daughter is 6.5. It’s time they knew what they have been dealing with/will be dealing with and how it makes them who they are.

Back from visiting family for Christmas. Waiting on a plumber to finish up with our two frozen and split laundry room pipes.
Early afternoon update: I won Trivial Pursuit.
Of note: Kids filled their pies, too … so I’m not a monster or anything.
Not yet 11am and already this Christmas morning I’ve played MarioKart, Sushi Go, SpotIt and Rock Me Archimedes. Busy morning, with Trivial Pursuit Family Edition still lurking.
Birthday plans sorted out. Crossing a college football stadium off my list @BallStateFB Saturday. Front row seats, even.
Ending sucked, but that was fun. Think we’re going to be OK this year. #WVU
