Photo-A-Day #02815 Special dark pretzels or my boss has wicked ADHD and so he often forgets to hit the button on the timer and we know the pretzels are DONE when we can smell them. These weren't burnt, burnt they were very very dark and still tasty inside. I had one of them and it had some decent crunch.

Photo-A-Day #02814 I went to the new Phoenix theaters at Patriot Place this morning to see Avengers: Endgame: Encore. With avengers Doomsday coming to theaters in a couple of months Marvel re-released Avengers: Endgame because apparently it sets up Avengers: Doomsday and the encore of Endgame even has additional footage that leads directly to the new movie. It was great to see this movie on the big screen again. The phoenix theaters are great, too. Less expensive all around but a way better seating experience. You can feel the movie as you watch it. Each seat is hooked into the bass sound so that explosions and stuff can be felt as you watch the movie. It was really cool.

Photo-A-Day #02813 I took Andy to the orthodontist today to get things started with Invisalign. Andy has express that they want braces to correct a few things with their teeth. We've put it off because of cost and also trying to get Andy to be more responsible for their own teeth. And andy has been more responsible. However, they still get cavities. But the thing that really made us say, we have to do this was andy's school photo. We looked at the photo and Andy wasn't smiling, just a smirk. When asked about it andy got upset that they hated their teeth and I could feel how upset Andy was about ti. So, we decided to look into it. Yes, it is a cost but insurance does help (a bit). So today we got the ball rolling. Maybe by Senior year Andy will be smiling in their photos like they are in the second photo of these intake shots.

Photo-A-Day #02812 This afternoon Allison and I went to the Attleboro Community Theater to see the season opener, Wonder of the World. It was a fun play and a few of my friend from the theater were in it. They did a great job.

Photo-A-Day #02811 This past Wednesday I bought the second Dungeon Crawler Carl graphic novel. This is the second part of the first book. I recently restarted a listen to the series. After being at Granite State Comicon last weekend I've been thinking about Dungeon Crawler Carl a lot and wanting to relisten. So I'll do that and then give a relisten to all of the Nate Temple books because Shayne silvers is back writing. I can't wait for him to release his next book.

Photo-A-Day #02810 As I left for work today I spied James and Torrun spending some time in the same place. They weren't quite spending it together, just in proximity. It is nice that they are spending time together and not attacking each other.

Photo-A-Day #02809 Yesterday at The Pretzel Factory we got the new pizza prep station. This means that we can now list pizza on our menu and people can order them. So I now make pizzas as well as pretzels. The one above is what I made today. Not too bad, I think.
