Fell asleep ~2am agan, up at 7am though, hoping to get some rhythm in the cycles. Kids are with us tonight. I took Tommy and Lauren to Shake Shack and briefly met up with Mike and his family. Boy how their kids have grown. Discussed his work, mine, OPS options to help and just enjoyed a chance to briefly reconnect. Seems like he's had some great experience in the past year, and grown, and en route to be a leader, which I am so glad to hear. He'll be a great manager, has all the skills. Retuned, dropped Tommy at LGHS while we went on a drive out through a backroad of Sunol that Jen found on Google Maps. It was really cool. Scottie came along, sat in the back with me, and got a face-full of scents. I learned today that Dogs have 100,000 to 1,000,000 more sensitive smell glands. Fascination. We retuned, made a Chavez run and had dinner together. Tommy went off with friends while we played Rumikub, walked the dog. Before I knew it, it was time to retired. I want to carve out even more time w/them both. Lauren in particular right now as I feel she remains overshadowed by him for most instances. I'm thinking some solo activity for her/me tomorrow w/be good. She suggested giving me a haircut. What father would deny thait? :-)
