Woke, tired.
Big bed made small by so many, so many big little children sprawled out with their children stench.
Water, granola, coffee.
Down to dungeon to work.
Whatta commute. Seventeen stairs.
Duke Ellington, Dizzy going upstairs.
I retouch, erase Nike logos, make text invisible, curse the branded apparel of triathletes and runners and cyclists and...why can’t they just wear plain old clothes?
I work, and then a child needs help getting the sewing machine going. Thirty minutes helping him; he finishes his project five minutes after I leave and is done.
Shortly, there is commotion, arguing, anger,
I head up to mediate disagreement over who should bake what, and there are tears and I make one lie down, he does, angrily, and shows me his rage by falling asleep in his closet fort.
Another cop of coffee, thanks Becca.
I listen to bits on Socrates, Plato, Goethe.
Goethe is especially good. One of our son’s namesakes.
I didn’t know he was no fan of Isaac Newton.
The kids bake.
I work, break for some watermelon and cashews and delicacies - cake, peanut butter oatmeal bars.
Kings of Leon, the Antlers, the Kills, Ash, Bob Dylan.
Salad for supper, a good one. At the table. We head outside; Ejvindr and I mosey to neighbors to chit chat and inspect their new roof in process.
Grandma and a cousin wander over. Football, chasing, Becca squirts water on one of them.
Brush, sing, worship, 20 minutes of hilarious Steve Martin Pink Panther remake that makes me laugh, kids to bed.
Twenty minutes of workout for us, along with the premier episode of Sacha Baron Cohen’s This Is America.
Then back to the Dungeon to work. I am 41.
12.37pm
I am going to bed.
6am comes fast.

WHAT CHILD IS ____?
I peered closer at my phone screen, and the new freshly-installed page of apps:
Hebrew Bible
Bilingual Bible (Hebrew, 2nd version)
Bible - Hebrew (3rd version)
Mango language - Hebrew
Hebrew Dictionary
Hebrew Bible (4th version)
Hebrew KJV Bible (5th version)
Holy Bible (just...English?)
Nemo - Hebrew
Nemo - Greek
Nemo - Arabic
Lonely Planet - Asia
Messianic Jewish Music
Shabbat Alert
Does not include the reams of Google Docs filled with carefully-typed Hebrew and Greek translations and interpretations of the Book of Daniel.
I cannot be completely certain which child is behind the appearance of these on my phone, but I have a notion which child I will commence conversations with concerning the matter. Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!
____
And you must simply take a listen to Loretta Lynn’s cheery, unapologetically twangy, and beautiful White Christmas Blue album from last year. Fantastic.

THOUSAND DOLLAR TOYS (ASK UNCLE JONNY FOR ONE).
"Usually, the kind of drones I prefer cost several thousand dollars, but I guess I sort of like it."
Our son at Costco, in response to my enthusiastically pointing out a $25 drone I thought he would be excited about. Thank you, so much, Uncle Jonny Long and Fly View Aerial for setting a high mark regarding his expectations for aerial toys.

GUEST POST: JONNY & JOSEPH IN UTAH.
Quick little 48 hour trip to St. George/Hurricane, Utah to grab aerials and ground footage in and around Colorado City, home of the infamous Roland and Warren Jeffs, among others. If you've ever read Jon Krakaur's "Under the Banner of Heaven", you'll know some of the controversies that have ensued here. Tune in tomorrow night to #ABC20/20 to check out the story and see some of our work.
- Jonny Long
My brother and I fly Delta, and wait at the airport, and talk about our relationship.
