Warning-this is not a cool story. It's not entertaining. These are the events of the day.
Early this morning I took my oldest son to a wrestling meet (damn thing took ten hours). He weighed in at 6:30 a.m. and then we headed out to get breakfast. We stopped at a bagel shop and after ordering I turned to sit and found him standing and staring in fascination at a framed picture of Lunch Atop a Skyscraper hanging right over our table. Phone in hand, I say your great grandfather carried steel girders and worked on buildings. I was going to look the picture up on my phone so he could see similar images, but decided not to.
It's now around 1 p.m.-I've watched my son wrestle for 6 minutes with more matches to go-and I pull out my phone, again, to bide the time. Previously, I watched the Ags versus Alabama and best of the X Games on ESPN, in addition to regularly scrolling through the TexAgs forums and texting my wife about our son as she responds with scores and opinions on our middle child who is simultaneously competing in gymnastics.
Well, back to TexAgs I go. After again browsing the forums I open the home page of my YouTube app which offers consistent recommendations based on my subscriptions and browsing history: gaming videos, The Pulse, some politics, some philosophy, a little comedy, and right smack dab in the middle of my video recommendations is this
Wow. Just what I was looking for.
