don't be depressed: in a different timeline, we're all ridiculously successful at the expense of people who are wealthy in this one

Oh, my daughters are both crawling and sleeping through the night now, I can't be a cult leader anymore. nm.

[Samurai]

Sleep is good. Glad you've managed to secure some.

[dexeron]

Congrats Rip, that is such an amazing age.

I mean, every developmental milestone from here on out is the most amazing age, so enjoy it.

(Yeah, even adolescence when hormones turn everything you thought you knew upside down again. Still worth it.)

If you're reading, have you started drawing again yet, Agent? I do hope you've found a way to ward off The Depression at least somewhat. The black dog is a bit of a bastard, as my wife thankfully made me realise before I managed to wreck my family, so I eventually did something about it -- but it took me far too long.
