Nine years after I purchased my first noise-canceling headphones, a pair of refurbished Bose QuietComfort 15s, I’ve stepped up to wireless ANCs with these Sennheiser PXC-550-II cans.

First tracks played: Stryper’s “To Hell With the Devil” and Whitecross’ “Who Will You Follow.”

Speaking of Hollywood’s empty ideas, I see they’re going to ruin the absolute best character from the G.I. Joe comics with this stupid Snake Eyes origin movie.

And I say that as someone who likes Henry Golding as an actor. He was fantastic in The Gentlemen.

They’re rebooting Sex & the City. Just when I think Hollywood can’t be any more empty of ideas, they manage to surprise me.

Foster and adoptive parents: the new Marvel movie Black Widow is pretty great fun, but there are some heavy abandonment elements in the plot. Your kids may or may not pick up on them, but they are talked about outright. You may want to see it before they do to be sure.

I will have more to say why later, but though I didn’t serve, I feel like @TheJasonAnspach and @RealNickCole wrote Forgotten Ruin just for me. Great, fun read, with more than meets the eye. Thanks, gents.

This little girl turned one year old yesterday. Like the federal holiday, we observed her birthday today. (We hosted some friends for a pool party yesterday.) She has made quite an impact on our household in just a few months. ❤️

If only…
