We sometimes play a custom “Wingman Mode” with our 5 year old. I can’t recommend this invention highly enough. My wife and I will hang back and do everything we can to run interference so our son can win. This includes ramming others off the road, diving in front of shells, or driving backwards with a Fire Flower and picking off competitors. You get better items because you’re not in first, the kid still has to participate and try, and it’s a novel way to play an old game.

I rowed 21k meters on my rowing machine this week, which is more than double my previous distance record. I’m new to rowing and having a lot of fun with it (and seeing some results, too!)

I remember the first time I went to a “third-wave” café and saw a barista brewing up a siphon pot. I felt like I had stepped onto a spaceship, couldn’t stop staring at it.
