Entering day 3 of our 4 day tournament, I've become a bit emotional. As I watched noah yesterday I absorbed just how much better he is at volleyball than when he entered high school, it was hard not to be awash with various emotions. His mom and I even had a nice little moment celebrating it (very rare).

When he started volleyball some 3 (ish) years ago, he was not to be trusted with the ball. In any circumstance, lol. Then, I blinked, and now he's serving at nationals.

I don't know how tomorrow will end. I just know that when it does, the sweetest boi I've ever known will be about to enter his final year of high school. It's the beginning of the end.

I tell myself that this end of an era is just the beginning of a new one. I've only got so many windows left to open though. Each one closing starts to creep in on you over time.

Did I do enough with this window's breeze?

meffod man really has built a whole steam engine out of a single grain of salt. He shows up every day, puts in the work, and his last year will be his best. What more can you ask of any man?

As for me?

🚨 New friend alert 🚨

Per the bot internets this is a nonvenomous rat snake and nikkigirl named him marvin at which point I gave him the alter ego hagler as they are quite marvelous.

We'll see if this little fella can figure out how to get out after it somehow figured out how to get in. Stay tuned.

Update: maybe 15 minutes later, they are gone. Godspeed marvelous marvin hagler.

Before we get too boring though, it's been awhile since lulu has seen our crosscourt bois and noah play. As we're on our way to getting some McDonalds we should have skipped last night, she told him how impressed she was with his vertical. dr. uncle ryan has previously noted the same thing, so new alter ego for ya boi unlocked: lil uzi vert.

Let's break it down into three parts:

• Lil cuz he's the lil homie
• Uzi cuz he's jumping all rapid fire like
• Vert cuz duh, he lives above the clouds

lulu has also taken to letting him know she wants to be him when she grows up.

Quick aside, we miss fern real bad 'round these parts. He's not quite as spoiled as he is if the squad that's rolling with me in Orlando was home.

I thought of this because I also have decided that my preferred king james destination is with giannis down in miami. Let's link up lulu's boi and mine.

Anywho, the train of thought, in summary: greek freak 🚄👉🏾 heat culture 🚄👉🏾 lebron 🚄👉🏾 lulu 🚄👉🏾 fern.

I miss the little guy.

So while I didn't chronicle jeff meff's first appearance yesterday, he did show up and we chatted about our favorite kanye west albums floating in the pool (the homie loves a pool).

Well, while I'm not sure I'd say favorite, the life of pablo is the yeezy album that I still re-visit the most. It's my not quite sure how I feel and something needs to get me out of myself album.

First song, right out the gates, magic.

Shouts to meff man. He's why we are in Orlando after all.

Enough computer talk (for now), let's check in on squad.

First up, check out a couple of cutie pie sisters spending some good floating time together.

New friends everywhere!

lulu and p-funk were kind enough to run some errands for us this morning and swim trunks have arrived! patty h also noted that we'll need to be careful with food on the counter. Buncha ants, son.

mr. meff is presumably still alive. Currently in teenage hiding mode tho. lulz

To close the night, ask we code and I chronicle, they play......

We are gonna get a lot of run outta this pool. I forgot my swim trunks tho - gotta hook myself up with a pair at some point.

Nice Airbnb. Might could be doing some coding again.

Hopped on a couple of flights with squad today.

fern and I wrestled and then snuggled in the front yard for a bit today. We won't get to see this dude for a week! A whole week!

Bummer, dude. At least it's for a good cause.
