Discovering their royal birthright as a small European nation’s sovereign can be a rocky period in a child’s life, so it’s important that parents remind them that it’s perfectly normal to be surrounded by a scheming coterie of backstabbing advisors vying for their favor.

Dalai Lama Quietly Cancels Scheduled Meeting With JD Vance - Babylon Bee
“His Holiness the Dalai Lama realized he was double-booked,” said a spokesmonk. “He was looking forward to meeting Vice President Vance and hopes to do so someday, but he forgot that he was supposed to go to that one place and meet someone and talk about something. It’s important and has nothing to do with today’s unfortunate news about Pope Francis.”

Pentagon Fires Commander of Greenland Base That Vance Visited - WSJ
“I do not presume to understand current politics, but what I do know is the concerns of the U.S. administration discussed by Vice President Vance on Friday are not reflective of Pituffik Space Base,” Meyers wrote in the email, according to a defense official.

The 28-year-old Honduras native said he is grateful for the trust and compassion the Barrett family has placed in him. “The only reason I turned to violence — allegedly — was because of a lack of strong authoritative figures in my life,” the newly re-named Jose Barrett said. “I have finally found where I belong — in the home of an upper class white family.”

Book Review: The Wizard of Oz 📚
We took two cars on our ski trip this year, giving us more room for cargo. On the way home, I had the two big kids, and we listened to this audiobook on our way home, read by Brooke Shields. It was the unabridged version, which we finished as a family on a weekend trip to the beach.
I can’t remember ever reading this book, as a child or as an adult, and it was full of delightful details. I also like how the kids quote it or reference the characters in real life, and I get the reference!

2. When the rocket was going upward and he kept looking down to Earth saying, “Isn’t it back there?”
Accounts from crew members confirm that as the rocket approached the moon, Armstrong repeatedly said he was pretty sure they were supposed to make a turn, not just go upward. He was also described pointing back toward Earth while insisting he could see the Taj Mahal.

Forrest Frank - Live in Concert
I’m not much of a concert person. I’ve been to musical performances, but never at an arena, and I never went just for that specific person. I think the “biggest” artist that I’ve seen live is Matt Maher. I was excited, after discovering Forrest Frank a little over a year ago, to get tickets to his Child of God Tour.
Since I control the music in our house, I will often play Forrest throughout our day or while running errands around town. The kids sometimes even request his music. The beats are fun, there’s a degree of playfulness in the accompaniment and the lyrics, and even my youngest knows the lyrics.
Alison and I took our two oldest kids with us, which was a treat knowing that it would be a late night.
We had dinner at Chick-fil-A, handed the youngest two off to their grandmother, and drove to the arena. It was easy to park and get inside. I stopped by the concession stand to get popcorn and water, and we settled in. The arena started off comfortably full, but by time Forrest took the stage, it was completely packed. 10,000 fans, enjoying live music and prayer.
Forrest did a great job with the show. The set list was perfect, there was lots of engagement with the crowd, and even the set was fun. At one point, he plugged in his laptop, opened Logic, and showed us how he put together Good Day with all 200+ individual sound components.
There was also a peek behind the veil. Forrest shared some of his story, and the why behind his music.
In addition to his released music, we were treated to a few unreleased songs. In one of them, he invited the audience to be on the track. He got an iPhone, opened the Voice Memos app, and then recorded us shouting lyrics. I read an article, that I now cannot find, that said this is how modern music is made; artists sending each other samples recorded on their iPhones and included in the final track.
The night did not end until late. Many families with younger kids started leaving early, and I was tempted to do the same. After a few minute break, Forrest and band returned, turned up the volume, and closed out with two huge performances of Drop! and Never Get Used to This.
It was a great night.
