Dad Reflexes and The Best Beers for Netflix Shows

Dad Reflexes
Photo-A-Day #4081

Today I used those fabled “Dad Reflexes”. Dad Reflexes are those split second moments where dads save kids from certain peril. We were at Play Group and on the playground where I was able to save Andrew at the last moment from a face full of mulch at high speed. Andrew was sitting on top of the structure above. I was standing near him telling him that he needed to get down because it was unsafe. He then teetered for a moment then I saw his hands flail a bit. He pitched forward and his feet landed on the pink tube and then his whole body started to somersault forward and face first towards the mulch that lines the ground of the play area. I managed to snag him around the waist about an inch from the ground. Let’s just say that my stress level and adrenaline level was pretty high.

I need a beer.

Luckily for me, Netflix had me covered. Well, they did not send me any actual beer but they sent me a very special beer tasting placemat and some sweet Pilsner glasses. These glasses are for Netflix shows Daredevil, House of Cards, Narcos and Peaky Blinders. I had never heard about Peaky Blinders before but it sounds interesting. In today’s vlog I go through all of the pairings and they are excellent, at least for the shows I know. I’m intrigued by both Black IPA and Peaky Blinders. I’ll have to try both some time when I get a chance. I may have to try my own Netflix Sneak.

The Pete’s Dragon Trailer is Here

Elliot and Pete

The trailer for Pete’s Dragon has been released. It looks amazing. While it is not the same as the original, it has a more realistic look to it. Elliot is a real honest to goodness dragon and there are high stakes in play regarding Elliot.

I received an incredible book the other day about the art of Disney Dragons which had some great images of Elliot. While he is not goofy and sweet like the cartoon version he has some very dog-like qualities in his design. That makes a lot of sense because he is fiercely loyal and protective of Pete. Watch for yourself and let me know what you think in the comments below.
