#Daddy_A sent me a picture of #Little_Boy_A (age 6) and #Little_Boy_A2 (age 2.5) playing games on the #Switch I got them. The younger one is gigantic. He's within an inch of his older brother's height and seemingly heavier. The older one is already taller than most of his classmates. -

#Daddy_A and I are swapping memories of when he and his brother were in middle school and high school. Like the time we were on a school trip and he fell down a hill into a patch of cactus. That one almost resulted in a helicopter flight to a hospital. It had been cool that morning, so I made him take his coat. The coat was ruined, but most of the cactus spines were stopped by it. -

I still occasionally call one of the kids by his childhood nickname. This time it was #Daddy_A, who is slightly embarrassed by the nick. -

I reminded #Daddy_A that at one point, the Iraq war was going poorly and there were rumors that the US was going to reinstate the draft in order to supply the numbers they needed there. I had decided that I would attempt to sneak he and #sonTwo into Mexico (with the help of a nephew that is a Mexican citizen) if the draft happened.
We were talking about all the different family members who helped me raise them after the mother married a guy who wanted nothing to do with teen boys. -

Too late. I was going to call #Daddy_A and try to get a few minutes of conversation with grandkids. -

Because we were both doing maintenance around the house, #sonTwo and I split our call into three. I messsed up and put the part in backwards, so I'll have to redo my task. Family day at Home Depot, I guess.
#sonOne was at work, so we had no phone call this week.
#Daddy_A and I chatted on #Wire at the same time as Mark and I were conversing via SMS.
Finally, co-worker S called and we were on the phone about two hours and forty minutes (talking about $EMPLOYER and life after $EMPLOYER).
Full day. I'm going to go to bed now. #TZAF -

Speaking of grandkids, #Daddy_A tells me that both boys (age 2.5 and 6) are enjoying “Mario Party” for the #Switch, which was in their March / April gift shipment. No word on whether their younger sister #Toddler_A3 is enjoying her items. Also, #sonTwo tells me that #GS3 is gaining weight and is back up to his birth weight, and his father-in-law who never seemed to be thrilled about having my son in his family, is completely charmed by the grandson and is warming up. -

I was going to send this to #Daddy_A (age 29), but he's a seasoned pro at ignoring my provocations. #sonTwo (age 31) would point out that he's the one that got me started drinking #coffee. #sonOne (age 41) would point out that he drinks something that looks like coffee-flavored motor oil. So I'll just put this here instead.
"Boomers tend to drink coffee instead of energy drinks because at least coffee tastes good." -

#Daddy_A confirms that they are safe. Some other relatives are in #NE towns that are surrounded by floodwaters, but his part of town is miles away from the current flooding. -

Suddenly realized that it has been almost a week since I got any messages from #Daddy_A. Since @geniusmusing sent a link to an article that claims #NE is having “historic” flooding, I asked his brother ( #sonTwo ) whether he’s heard anything. He said he had heard about floods in Nebraska, but that’s all he knows.
It is after bedtime there now, but I’ll send messages and try to call him tomorrow morning. -

I informed #sonTwo I’m not going to be in #MO when #GS3 is born. It also looks like #Daddy_A won’t make the trip from #NE. -

#Daddy_A got a glass corner desk for the computers I bought. Before that, he was using part of the dinner table. Sorry, #Mama_A, but did you see how much more alive he is now? -

@rye I call #Daddy_A my "cat lady" kid. There always seems to be 3-5 strays that move in. -

nu.federati.net/notice/2778419 ♲ @lnxw48a1@nu.federati.net: It has been quite a while since I last did one of these.
#Introductions is superfluous when I've been in the #fediverse since 2009. This should be tagged #untroductions instead.
I work for $EMPLOYER, a government agency which remains unamed due to their fear of appearing to endorse the things I say.
I do not speak for them, and they do not speak for me. Nothing I say or write is endorsed by or an official statement of the agency.
I manage https://nu.federati.net/main/public and other Federati Networks sites. !fnetworks
I generally work too much (3000 - 3500 hours per year the last few years). I try to remain in touch with my kids and grandkids, having realized that I missed a lot by being at work all the time. ( I spent more time with #sonTwo than with #sonOne or #Daddy_A, partly because he came and hung out at my workplace at the time. ) I am actively attempting to reduce that to something more reasonable, so that the younger grandkids (currently 11 and younger) will know me as the granddad that is present and involved.
Politically, I'm a centrist. By this, I mean that I reject the overall viewpoints and the dangerous and harmful plans of both the left and the right. I also disagree with many others who call themselves centrists.
I reject the US Democrat and Republican twin parties, generally choosing to vote for candidates who are not part of either organization. I do not believe that either the federal government or any corporation is the savior of the people. (Nor do I believe in any form of anarchism.) nu.federati.net/main/public -

#sonOne's #PR souvenir mugs arrived yesterday. #Daddy_A's mugs arrived today. No word from #sonTwo yet, but AFAIK, the mugs I sent to #SoCal family members have not arrived yet. -

Received another snow picture from #Daddy_A in #NE. He says four to twelve inches are expected today and tonight. I assume there’s also some windchill going on, because the grandkids were not outside playing. -

Shipments sent. Now, #sonOne and his wife will soon have a pair of large #PR mugs. I decided to get #sonTwo and his wife a pair of large PR mugs. Because #Daddy_A is different from the other two, I decided to get him and his wife a pair of large PR mugs.
(Yes, the store had one design [in two available colors: gray/purple, gray/lightblue], so everyone got the same pair.) -

Sent #Daddy_A a box full of toys for the grandkids with instructions to put them away for about a month. The oldest kid got some card games, so I guess I sent homework.
