Chalkboard Paint Also Looks Fun
Note: we are not offering an opinion on these chalk products. We haven’t used them. We just think they look like fun. Chalkboard paint? Sure, why not? Still, Caveat Buyor and all that.
This 8-ounce jar currently sells for under 10 bucks on Amazon.

Chalkboard Contact Paper Looks Fun
Saw this chalkboard contact paper while looking for something else on Amazon. 6 feet for about 10 bucks. I’ve never used it, but it sounds like something one could have fun with.

Fear Of Not Waking Up On Time
Does anyone else have this? A fear of not waking up on time? I do.
At the moment I’m setting three alarms to ensure I get the hell out of bed in time to get people ready to go where they need to go. For some reason I’ve been more neurotic about waking up this summer than I have in previous years. Read more »
Weiner Stuff Not About His Wife – There Is No Carlita Danger
Juliana Margulies was asked about the Weiner stuff, which makes sense because of the character she plays on “The Good Wife.” (For the record, I have nothing against Juliana Margulies. At all. Happen to really like her a lot.) My point is, when politicians do what Weiner did (and seriously, let’s hope that isn’t very often because WOW IS CARLOS DANGER CREEPY), nobody should make it about his wife.
Weiner’s wife isn’t running for office. She is not Carlita Danger. How is this about her? Seriously. She can do whatever she wants as far as I’m concerned. Do I wonder why she’d stay with him? Sure. But that’s between the two of them. It’s silly to blame or attack her in any way.
There’s also a doofy bit in the comments section of this story (which I should put in air quotes because it’s not really news, but whatever) knocking Hillary Clinton for “standing by her man” like Huma is. A commenter going by the moniker Beer Goggles (can’t make this stuff up) writes that he/she/it has “no empathy towards Power Hungry, TAMMY WYNETTE robot, Huma.” For our younger readers or those with poor memories, here is what Hillary actually said back in 1992.
Sorry, Beer Goggles. Not quite accurate. Good try though.

Pace Car Ride (DaddyTips Road Trip)
About to take a pace car ride at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The cars are here. Pretty sure they don’t do NASCAR speeds, but it’ll still be wicked fast.
Victory Field (Daddytips Road Trip)
A pic of Victory Field from last night in Indianapolis. We (responsibly) drank five kinds of Crown while having a great meal at Mo’s. The pianist played Jay-Z, Whitesnake, and Dre/Tupac. Really. Big Pimpin’. Didn’t see that coming.
Question: if you lose at Victory Field, is it extra painful?
More to come from our Crown Heroes weekend.
