Autumn rain/ falling in Seattle./ Too bad it's still summer.

Introducing

I would like to introduce everyone to my son, Minh Moriguchi.

Pretty awesome

Thanks to Julius Goat over at the Goat Speaks for this.

An open letter to dog owners

(especially the one who's dog took a shit at Woodinville field #2) I like dogs. Big ones, little ones, yappy little lap dogs, dogs with funny haircuts, you name it. I don't even mind the slobber or the bad breath. And I don't mind them running around off-leash in the park or on the field. And even when your dog takes a giant dump in the middle of a soccer field, I don't hate them. Because let's face it, they're dogs. But when you, as their owner, leave that shit on the field, I hate you. I despise you. I want to cause bodily harm to you. And if I ever see you leaving shit on the field it will not be pretty.

And sure, I've been in your situation where I only brought 2 bags and you've already used them up. But maybe you can look in a garbage can and find something to use to, at the very least, remove said shit from the middle of the field.

Thank you.

Happiness is...

Coming home and having your son run up to you and saying "hi daddy, I missed you!"

TMWS

(things my wife says) "I knew one of us was going to give in and it wasn't going to be him"

SMDT

(Sh*t my dad texts) "I'm in the beer g"

This is interesting on several levels.
1. That my dad is texting me in the first place
2. Where he is texting me from
3. That he is using shorthand and not spelling out "garden". Next thing I know he'll be using "idk" and "lol"

With respect to Mr. Cosby

Son: "why it not working?"
Me: "it's not plugged in"
Son: "it plugged out?"

A typical day at the office

me to son: "do you have to go poo?"
son: "No, I'm just shaking my bum-bum."

WWYW answer

If you answered pink you are correct! If you didn't, you don't have the same fashion sense as a two year old.

WWYW?

(What would you wear?) If you had to pick a pair of socks to go with this outfit, what color would they be? Answer in a little bit.

(Things You Discover When You're a Parent) The best thing to keep you warm on a cool day is a little boy snuggled in your arms.

Two days in the 90s, two in the 80s, and just like that, it's Fall in Seattle.

"everybody bleeds burgandy," really? #coloradorapids fail.

Hwy 99 haiku

Mount Rainier,/
always present, and yet, every day/
a pleasant surprise.

File under "duh"

Over heard a conversation on the street. Apparently Mother's day weekend is a slow time for the people who hand out the cards for strippers. Who would have known?

Why, yes

I have already been to the spa and am already looking forward to going
back. Do you have a problem with that?

Luckiest man alive

If you are going to ask your wife if you can go to Las Vegas for a soccer tournament over Mother's Day weekend either are very stupid or you have a very understanding spouse. Luckily for me, my wife loves me despite my stupidity.

It's not fair

Most mornings our son wakes up between 5:30 and 6:30, which means that we get up at the same time. My body is so used to it that here on one of those rare days where he's sleeping in I am wide awake. And I don't really want to start moving around for fear of waking him since his sleeping in must mean he's tired and needs the sleep. No, there's no question who rules this house.

I wonder ...,

if our son grows up to be famous will he write about how cruel I was
to force him to drink apple juice from a cup with a straw instead of
from a juice box?
