Wife and kids are on their own for dinner tonight, as I'm meeting up with some work friends later.No sandwiches need to be made this morning since the boys are going to work with their mom and she's ordering pizza.
I think this is the last year for us of, Take Your Child to Work.

Of course, one bad meeting with my boss will have me curled up again in the corner of my office.Another great commute day. Even quicker than yesterday's.

There are 250 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlights in History:
In 404 B.C., the Peloponnesian War ended as Athens surrendered to Sparta.
On this date:
In 1507, a world map produced by German cartographer Martin Waldseemueller contained the first recorded use of the term “America,” in honor of Italian navigator Amerigo Vespucci.
In 1859, ground was broken for the Suez Canal.
In 1862, during the Civil War, a Union fleet commanded by Flag Officer David G. Farragut captured the city of New Orleans.
In 1898, the United States Congress declared war on Spain; the 10-week conflict resulted in an American victory.
In 1901, New York Gov. Benjamin Barker Odell, Jr. signed an automobile registration bill which imposed a 15 mph speed limit on highways.
In 1915, during World War I, Allied soldiers invaded the Gallipoli Peninsula in an unsuccessful attempt to take the Ottoman Empire out of the war.
In 1945, during World War II, U.S. and Soviet forces linked up on the Elbe River, a meeting that dramatized the collapse of Nazi Germany’s defenses. Meanwhile, delegates from some 50 countries gathered in San Francisco to organize the United Nations.
In 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope was deployed in orbit from the space shuttle Discovery. (It was later discovered that the telescope’s primary mirror was flawed, requiring the installation of corrective components to achieve optimal focus.)
In 1992, Islamic forces in Afghanistan took control of most of the capital of Kabul following the collapse of the Communist government.
In 2002, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes of the Grammy-winning trio TLC died in an SUV crash in Honduras; she was 30.
In 2013, President Barack Obama consoled a rural Texas community rocked by a deadly fertilizer plant explosion that killed 15 people, telling mourners during a memorial service at Baylor University they were not alone in their grief.
In 2018, Danish engineer Peter Madsen was convicted of murder for luring a Swedish journalist onto his homemade submarine before torturing and killing her; Madsen was later sentenced to life in prison.
In 2019, former Vice President Joe Biden entered the Democratic presidential race, declaring the fight against Donald Trump to be a “battle for the soul of this nation.”
In 2021, “Nomadland,” Chloe Zhao’s portrait of itinerant lives on open roads across the American West, won Best Picture at the 93rd Academy Awards; Zhao was honored as best director.
In 2022, Elon Musk reached an agreement to buy Twitter for roughly $44 billion, promising a more lenient touch to policing content on the social media platform where he – then the world’s richest person – had made a habit of promoting his interests and attacking his critics to his tens of millions of followers.
In 2023, President Joe Biden formally announced that he would be running for reelection in 2024, asking voters to give him more time to “finish this job” and extend the run of America’s oldest president for another four years.

OMFG, what a waste of time. The meeting was about a new recognition program, which we got an email about earlier this week. We took "this meeting could've been an email" to a whole new level, since this meeting was about a previous email. Jesus.So, no raises? But now you can send a gold star to a colleague instead, for going above and beyond?
I'd love to be able to calculate the cost of that meeting.

Apparently, the term dates at least to the 1940s and a game that originated among African-Americans called "The Dozens" in which two players exchange insults until one gives up. Each are trying to outdo the other and shut them up, so the game is often referred to as "capping."It means that it is a lie. My stupid kids use it all the time.I know what a cap is.

The term "bust a cap" also originates in this game, and is not, as I'd always assumed, a reference to toy guns that detonated paper or plastic caps. Killing someone with a firearm shuts them up - caps them - permanently.

It's not clear exactly how the term morphed from "dominance" to "dishonesty," but because winning at The Dozens requires increasingly extravagant insults that ultimately bear little correlation to reality, it's not hard to guess.Interesting stuff.Apparently, the term dates at least to the 1940s and a game called "The Dozens" in which two players exchange insults until one gives up.
