22 yo never showed much interest in NFL football. She’s spent the last half-school year in Finland & is home for Christmas. After getting home from church this morning, she eagerly announced that the Chiefs-Steelers game is on Netflix, loaded it up, mutes it during commercials, unmutes it when the game comes back on, and is following along and reacting to the action. Brings a happy-tear to dad’s eye. ![]()

It’s the end of December, and I’m on a bike today in NE Kansas because it’s 50° and still getting warmer. Trying to enjoy it while it lasts, it’ll get real cold soon enough.
