Beautiful shot. Did you focus stack, or just use a small enough aperture? I like the colors and composition.

nice!

Way to get the "X" and the cat's eyes in focus. Tough with that shallow DOF!

I'm in my 40s.. similar to you, used to eat fast food often, and enjoyed it. I was having a horrible day a couple weeks ago, and thought "fuck it.. I'm eating at McDs." It was disgusting, not like I remembered it all.

Agreed, great answer. As a fellow parent, I know that connection with your kid is far more important than whatever "dignity" you'll "lose" from going on the trip.
He's probably old enough (only you know, OP) for you to even talk about your discomfort with going, and to be open about your personal pros+cons of going. Who knows what he'll say, but it sounds like a good conversation to have.

Ha, yeah, that's a good point! It was pretty thiccc/dense.

yeah, np! This is the video I used to make my pick. This guy compares a couple of passages in a bunch of different translations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLn_wmedmT0 good luck!

omg it's the worst. When I'm not in a great mood, I flash my brights at said tall-ass pickup trucks. Probably gonna get shot one day.

I'd be like "FUCK! I just mulched all mine this weekend!!!"

I've been paying for Tuta for a couple years, and like it. I have my gmail forward to it just in case, but these days have basically completely switched, and barely ever get any legit emails forwarded from my gmail anymore.

Ooh, I liked Eyes of the Dragon. Enjoy!

I just finished Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy, and just started Fagles' translation of Homer's Odyssey. Chapter 1 was surprisingly engaging and follow-able.. I was prepared to feel lost, as I haven't done "classics" like this before. But then, I did do a fair bit of research on which translation to pick, and this one did stand out as readable, so maybe I shouldn't be too surprised.
