Congrats Ando!

Tonight went to see jazz maestro Kamasi Washington perform from his masterpiece of an album The Epic.

To be honest "Epic" is a major understatement. I have been to many concerts but this one was beyond anything I have seen before. The musicianship and skill was mind blowing. I can't describe it except that I am still in awe an hour and a half after it finished!

I wish you all the luck in navigating the right balance between rituals/family happiness and your happiness. It's likely not going to be super easy doing that, but it can be done.

My older brother got married in a fairly quick manner (four or five days) and although he remains annoyed about how long it still took, having the families be happy was important enough that he unbent a little.

The ritual thing is more or less decided... we were pretty firm about it. Our parents are happy as long as they get to feed hundreds of people (why, I have no idea) and as long as that is happening later they are fine. But in many many ways there are still a lot of balances to be struck

Congrats, Ando. Has she read Malazan? If not you might want to write up a basic prenup.

Hehe

She hasn't read it, but is very curious about it, mainly because I never shut up about it. She did gift me FoL though....

My youngest just slept through the night for the first time.

Sleep! Glorious uninterrupted sleep!

After the mild panic attack at why they haven't made noise all night.

I'm on the cusp of the no-sleep parenting thing soon, so posts like this give me hope that one day, one day...she will sleep through the night and the wife and I will eventually return to Slumberland for more than a few hours at a time. LOL

Good to hear you got some solid sleep!

I remember when my brother slept through the night for the first time - my parents were so happy. Then he woke up in the morning and threw up over everything

My mum leaves tomorrow and we get the spare room back. I'm booked in there for Friday night. Baby PigDog is a pretty good sleeper for now though. Four weeks old tomorrow and he does one spell of 5hrs sleep every night. Really hope it keeps going because he was really chilled during the day at first but it's going downhill rapidly

And congrats Ando!

Had a fantastic Holiday in June - 2 weeks back in Brisbane staying with a good friend with far too many late night chats; my 2 favourite people married each other (and permission for photos posted here has been given); caught up with most of my Brissy friends; went on a week tour of central Australia (so amazing) and a couple of days with my folks in Adelaide.

Life is good

Hopefully you'll get lucky.

My brother had 2 that slept through the night almost from the get go. My first woke up 3-4 times a night and took 1-2 hours to put back down every time...for a year. That was a long year. And the 2 times we tried sleep training she screamed until she threw up, so yeah.

The 2nd was much easier.

Luckily, even if they're horrible sleepers, theyre so amazing in every other way its not that bad. Except at 3 in the morning, when you've rocked them for an hour, and put her in bed, crawl in your bed, and juuuuuust when your about to fall back asleep, they start crying. Thats when you roll over and say, your turn.

Hopefully yours likes to snooze!

Both myself and my wife were easy sleepers when we were infants according to our mothers...so we kind of hope our kid will will be the same...but we'll probably get hit with a curveball kid who is nothing like us. LOL

Simeone's awful puns. They do indeed make me happy. Though I also, inexplicably, start bleeding heavily from my eyes.

Managed to get one of a hundred signed sleeved editions of Fiends of Nightmaria for my best friend for her birthday.

Serious, serious best friend points were just scored!
