today
i went on my
first date with
liz.
and today,
maddy and i
learned how to ski.
(she’d be pretty fucking proud of us).
on wednesday, i picked
maddy up from school.
she was super excited to
show me what she’d made
for me.
i asked,
“what is it?”
“it’s a feather, daddy. no, no. it’s a knife.”
oh.
i thought it looked more
like a prison shank
than a feather.
then yesterday i
dropped her off at
school and before
i could leave she said,
“wait…i want to make you something before you leave.”
(a few seconds of cutting and scribbling later)
she presented me with this:
i asked,
“what is it?”
“daddy, i made you a $100 bill. i drew president obama on it! you can buy me toys with this!
oh. i’m starting to
worry about what they’re
teaching her at this school.
i mean, she’s
clearly pre-planning her
escape from prison
by fashioning
herself a shank,
after having gone to jail for
counterfeiting money
so i can buy her toys.
(i love this kid).
here’s some info on a couple of events i’ll be participating in, both of which i’m excited to tell you about:
if you’re interested in joining us, here’s the event page with tons of info.
and if you’re really interested in joining us, here’s the registration page. registration begins on january 25th.
(proceeds to benefit the liz logelin foundation)
hope to see you there.
also, next tuesday, january 29th i’ll be in minnesota to speak at the st. paul chamber of commerce meeting.
additional info and registration can be found here.
